    We really enjoyed all 3 routes around Edinburgh. Buses were frequent and stops very handy for all attractions and places we wanted to visit. Both the recorded audio commentary and the live tour guide commentary were excellent. The booking process was very easy. Loved the App to show us where we were going. We had the 48 hour pass and it was great value for money. Thank you!

    Purchasing tickets was very easy and we were able to see so much of Edinburgh in the short time we were there. We took the blue and green routes and enjoyed hearing the history and seeing the beautiful sights of the city.

    The audio was in sync with the location. That's not the norm on these city tours. We have been on 8 of these tours around Europe & this was the best. Very enjoyable.
