The detailed information from the headphones was key to enjoying the experience so much The driver taking there time doing the tour so I could take everything in and take photos when I wanted. I would suggest better pin points on the maps of where people can get the tickets for the tour

It was so easy to book online and redeem paper ticket with the bus driver who was very nice and helpful. Really liked the commentary using free headphones when you first get on. A great way to see the city!

Route was OK but driver did not stop for main photo opportunities when they arose, eg Holyrood Palace, views were snatched for other locations but insufficient to take them in.
