Easy to buy tge ticket online. Reasonable price for seniors. Easy to validate on bus. Audio guide was good but not outstanding. Paper map was helpful and easy to obtain.

Really enjoyed the tour we hoped on and off along the journey and discovered a few places we would have missed without the tour. The whole family enjoyed the horrible history's guide as well

Informative and humorous tour of the castle and other noteworthy places along the Royal Mile. Our guide also admirably navigated the crowds to get us entry tickets, and pointed out further places to explore in the castle after the tour. Great experience!

Con el bus turístico puedes ver las cosas más destacadas de Edimburgo sin necesidad de andar demás, te deja cerca de todos los sitios importantes y es cómodo, además si llueve puedes ir cubierto, con las explicaciones dadas se aprende mucho más de la ciudad. Lo recomiendo 100%.
