Very enjoyable way to see the city - A fantastic way to see the city, even if it’s raining. We did the route a couple of times. Credit to both guides, who gave us lots of fascinating information - John, and the Australia girl, and both were a pleasure to listen to.

So Good I Rode Around Twice - This was a great way to see all the major sights in Edinburgh. The starting point was very easy and convenient and the guides were very good. I rode around twice I enjoyed it so much.

Green bus Wayne was a star! - So pleased we caught a personal tour (green bus). The headphones on the blue and red buses were great, but if you can catch a green bus with a live commentary, definitely go for it. Wayne was fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, in control of the crowd. If you get Wayne on your tour, you're in for a treat!

Perfect way to get aquatinted with the city. - Having never been to Edinburgh, we decided to do the hop on off the first day. We did both the red and blue lines. Great way to get a feel for the city. Easy to spot pick up stops. They supply the headphones too.

Good value for money - We took two different tours over two days. The one with a live guide was, of course, better but both still good. Informative & the busses were clean.

A GRAND THANK YOU to "NADIA" - A BIG GRAND Thank You to "Nadia" our amazing Patriotic Scottish Guide. Our bus was empty at one stage, where Nadia turned off the mic and sat with us and continued the tour. We then spoke about Queen Mary of Scots and our packed day ahead of us including Lochleven Castle and Stirling Castle. A lovey way to get an insight of Edinburgh and NADIA - My and I THANK YOU again!

Good but pricey - The tour was enjoyable, but grief for the price. The speakers were knowledgeable and fairly dynamic. Some drivers were very friendly and others were terse. The speakers could answer questions about the content. The biggest advantage to get your money’s worth is to utilize the hop on and hop off feature.

Excellent way for the more elderly to see Edinburgh - The hop-on-hop-off bus tour worked very well for us. The flexibility worked well to enable us to visit Charlotte Square and the Georgian House before having lunch in the Grassmarket. Planning in advance was helpful and we decided on the green bus.

Non-working senior tickets - My senior tickets wouldn't work so we had to repurchase them if we wanted to go. However the adult priced ticket scanned but not without issues.
