The three route ticket was the way to go so you can explore more than just the City. Each tour brought a new perspective to the life and history of Edinburgh. The live commentary on the Green route brought and even closer touch to the experience.
The rate of the buses made for a convenient on/off experience without any lengthy delays.
The app was easy to use for booking your tours and the drivers and staff were very friendly and helpful.

I loved that we can listen to the history of the city and go out whenever we want. I like the options of different routes too it gives more flexibility and also the routes are just the perfect length. Not too short not too long. I always use hop on hop off while visiting new cities I always find it's the best way to do it.

The ease of hopping off to see an exhibit or museum and then hopping back on for more of the tour. The information provided by the "live" guide and the audio guide was fabulous. Providing free audio plugs was great. Highly recommend and will do again in other cities

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.
