    Full description

    Explore Edinburgh at your own pace with a hop-on and hop-off open-top bus tour. Enjoy the onboard commentary that describes the history behind the city. Stop at locations like St Andrew Square, Johnstone Terrace, the Royal Mile. See sights like Edinburgh Castle and Grassmarket.

    Board the bus and begin your city adventure. Compare Edinburgh's Old Town, where families lived in cramped conditions and rubbish was thrown out of the windows, to the elegant Georgian New Town, with its 3 main streets and square at either end. Hear about the hangings that took place in the Grassmarket as you marvel at the impenetrable Castle Rock above you, and hear about historic attempts to capture Edinburgh Castle. Drive along the Royal Mile, which joins Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Use the 24-hour ticket to hop on and off as you please.

    This was mine and my husband‘s first time visiting Edinburgh and we thoroughly enjoyed it! I highly recommend taking the hop on hop off buses there in Edinburgh to get around and see all the sites. You can get off at any time and then just hop back on when you are ready to at any one of the bus stops. The people are so very nice in Edinburgh and all the bus drivers were very helpful.

    The busses were a great way to get around the city and see all the sights. Most had a recorded audio that was a great informational source to know what to look for, others had a person narrating as we drove. I preferred the audio recordings, one of the commentators was very bland and uninteresting. I just wish it was longer! They say your ticket is good for 24 hours but the busses only run from 9am to about 3:30/4pm. If you stop to do a few activities along the way then it's just not enough time.

    Really easy to buy and use, all staff were very helpful, got a really good sense of the geography and key facts about the city and felt like you ‘knew’ Edinburgh a lot more at the end than the beginning, which is kind of the point ☺️ Would recommend doing at the beginning of your stay so you can orientate yourself (Also key tip - we were able to get same day castle tickets from one of the ticket touts / helpers when they were sold out for days on the castle website
