    2 of the 3 tours (city sightseeing and Edinburgh Tour) differed only slightly. Only the Majestic tour goes to the outskirts of the city. Nevertheless, it is worth booking the 3 tours/48 hours, as you can use them to get around within the city. Then you don't have to deal with public transport. However, a lot can also be reached on foot, the distances are not that great, only sometimes the hills of the city can be a bit exhausting. If you want to go to Britannia or the Royal Garden, you can do this very well with the Majestic Tour. The app, which is also available, is very helpful because you can get the necessary information (e.g. opening times, links to the websites) for every attraction

    An Irish girl, sorry I’ve forgotten her name, she had only just finished her training to be a guide was a brilliant person, very informative, she will be an asset to the City tours. We went on several buses and they all had different facts to relate, thoroughly enjoyed the trips and also a great way to get around Edinburgh, would definitely recommend using the tours.

    We enjoyed the tours around Edinburgh, they got us out farther than we could travel on foot. We’ve used these hop on - hop off tours in other cities to help us figure out the areas we want to explore more. Unfortunately, only one of the three had a live guide, and the recording just isn’t the same. It’s not synced well when the bus has delays due to traffic, and certainly isn’t as amusing as the majority of live guides we’ve heard.
