If its rains you'll get wet? But myself and my 2 kids found these trips to be very good and even better that you can hop on and off anywhere even better. We got a 1 day pass so it was valid from the time of purchase one day up until the same time the following day. The stories they... More

We bought a 48 hour pass. Everyone was most helpful, friendly, informative and every host must have enjoyed their job because they were all comics, adding a different slant to the story. The staff at Waverley bridge were most accommodating to us without a clue as to were to be and for what.they thought we would find interesting and they... More

A choice of 5 hop on / off bus tours of Edinburgh is on offer which are good way to see the city, be it just for the tour or to visit other attractions like the Castle, Britannia, Botanic Gardens to name but three. Tickets are valid for 24 hours so plan your trips accordingly.
