My wife stayed on the bus for three complete loops. I jumped off to catch the Museum of Scotland, then got back on. Call it providence or just plain good luck, but I got on a different route. I had heard of an area of town called Leith. My great-grandfather came from outside Dunfermline. he was able to name my mother and my Aunt when they were born. My mother's middle name was Leith. That was the name she went by. I really enjoyed riding through the town/area of Leith and seeing that name on signs and businesses. I had some great memories of my later nother and even shed a tear or two. All of this from getting on the Hop On/Hop Off Bus in Edinburgh. Thanks.

The map provided is a bit confusing. We wanted the Blue Royal line and the map shows stops along the Royal Mile. But the Red line bus takes you to the 1st stop where you can transfer to the Blue Bus. We asked about getting as close to St. Giles Cathedral as possible and your emplyees were very, very helpful getting us on the right bus. Drivers were friendly , understanding and very helpful. Commentary was excellent.

We loved the tour and the company. Very friendly staff. As the only negative comment, there are totally blue buses on the route, and when you see it arrive at the same stops you think that the bus being blue you are undermining the blue route, and it is red route despite the color of the bus. It creates a lot of confusion. For the rest everything was great

As always, this type of transport is ideal for discovering the sights - it couldn't be better! What's more, in Edinburgh the audio system was recent and fully functional, which is not always the case.

The opportunity to choose between three lines and explore the individual sights. Then get back on and continue your journey. The friendly staff contributed to an unforgettable experience.

Red and blue route - highly recommended Both the Red and Blue Routes were excellently organized. It was extremely helpful to discover so many sights in such a short time and to quickly find your way around the city - simply great! One suggestion for improvement concerns the buses on the Green Line: it would be desirable if these were also equipped with multilingual audio guides. Currently, the information is only available in English, which can be a challenge for some travelers. However, the staff were friendly and helpful throughout - even when there were language barriers. Special praise also goes to the bus drivers: attentive, courteous and a real rarity in this form. All in all, a great experience - we'd love to do it again
