Jasmin – GermanyOctober 19, 2023 – Verified booking
The buses came regularly and you can get around the city in a relaxed manner. We made good use of the 48-hour ticket and access to Hollyrood Palace, Edinburgh Castle and the Britannia was very good with the tickets we booked. All the employees were very friendly and helped with questions. We would definitely recommend it

Excellent experience, certainly very convenient for getting around a city that has so much to offer. The attractions included are top-notch, guaranteed entries and no queues! Highly recommended, we found the weather nice, but I think it is an optimal solution in case of bad weather too!

It was our first time to visit Edinburgh. We concluded the Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus Tour would give us an excellent overview of the city. It did! Our 48-hour pass gave ample opportunities to visit the Old City quite nicely, as well as making a trip out to see the Royal Yacht. We would definitely do it again!
