Great way to learn a little information about Edinburgh and see some highlights - We got off and on several times and had different Tour guides. They were all great and we learned something new from each one. I highly recommend doing this tour.

Brilliant way to see the city - 4 of us came to Edinburgh for 2 nights to visit the Christmas market and explore the town. We thought this would be a great way to see most things and we were not disappointed. We had Wayne as our tour guide and Luis was our driver. Wayne was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Luis was a brilliant driver, very careful and safe! We absolutely loved this tour and wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Good & Quick City Tour - This was a great way to get an initial feel for the city and to get quick information on what to see or not see. The staff was very pleasant during our ride, we got on at stop 9 and ended up waiting about half an hour at the main stop as the tour guides switched. We got to see Arthur’s Seat from a mountain during that time, which was quite cool! Getting a real person was a lot better than an audio guide.

Not worth the money - 24 hour tickets But buses only run 9-16. Should be a bus every 30 min but we Waited for almost 50 min after getting of at one stop. Short trip, overprized and not worth the money. The app is not showing right about where the bus is so you just have to wait.
