It was great to have access to so many different buses and routes to see the sights of Edinburgh. We used the hop on hop off service for the full 48 hours that the tickets were valid for which enabled us to travel easily around. Having access to the three main attractions (castle, Holyroodhouse palace and Royal yacht Britannia) allowed us to access these with ease without the hassle of buying separate tickets. The staff/guides were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely do it all again!
On a recent visit to Edinburgh used the Bus & Attraction Combo, enabled us to travel comfortably around the city and Attractions, very happy and would recommend service as an excellent way to see the City and Attractions
