Audio guide
-
Explore Edinburgh’s medieval turrets, hilly landscapes, and Gothic charm on a 24 or 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus adventure that lets you set the pace.
-
Ride as often as you like on the red route, blue route, or both, with buses running every 10–60 minutes, and take in 20 sights, some over 1,000 years old.
-
Think of the multilingual audio guide as your ride-along storyteller, sharing stories about the sights rolling past your window in the language of your choice.
-
See the spiky towers of Edinburgh Castle, Old Town’s cobbled charm, Britannia’s royal decks, and Greyfriars Bobby guarding the gates of Greyfriars Kirk.
