It was very expensive for what it was. Wish we’d just walked it instead!

A great City Introduction

What a great overview of the city!! We hit great weather and enjoyed the upper deck and the narrative explanation of the history of the city.
This gave us the knowledge we needed to go back to the spots that we wanted to explore in more detail. Great Job!@!

Congratulations driver Alec who coped with numerous diversions on 9/09/2015 with humour and still maintaining an informative commentary. We experienced a tour not many tourists have!!

the site was easy to use. the shopping bag feature was why I chose the site, so I could book several tours and pay for them all together.

This is a must for all visitors- an overview of the best attractions Edinburgh has to offer and what's more the ideal method of getting to them all. In fact we took the tour bus twice as we found so much to do. An added advantage is the discounted entrance fees you obtain courtesy of your bus ticket. The guide is extremely knowledgeable .

I think you could include more history and facts about Edinburgh and less advertising for the restaurants. Also, the staff that we are to exchange our print outs with for tickets could have been more friendly and helpful even if they are busy.

A Hop On Hop Off tour is the best way to begin any visit to a city. We do the entire round trip first and then start around again getting off at the first stop we wanted to see. Continue until we have covered all of our desired stops or we run out of daylight.

Very friendly and helpful staff on the ground, with easy upgrades to other bus services / routes within their network.

Prince st was closed to traffic & we were not informed on where the bus was going to make it's alternative stops. It dropped us off at the Georgian House but did not pick us up there. The bus driver waived as he passed us, I guess to let us know that he wasn't stopping there but did not wait for us, it was pouring.
It would have been cheaper to just take a cab.

The bus is suppose to come every 15 minutes but that did not happen.

I chose this particular vendor, because it provided commentary in Russian - and I was showing Edinburg to my Mum, who needed the Russian-language commentary (BTW, the translation was superb!!!) The tour covers all the important attractions of the city. Just a warning though - get a tour map, and if you want to get out at some stop, get down and let the driver know. We actually were happy to just go from the beginning to the end, however, would have been difficult to get out quickly from the upper deck...
