The buses were very frequent and always on time. There was a great choice of bus routes taking you to all places of interest. The staff were very friendly and the tour guides did a great job pointing out places to view and giving you information with a few tales which were great to hear. Particular mention to bus drivers Stevie and Stan who cheered us up by wearing their Christmas jumpers. Highly recommend the 48 hr bus ticket. If you pick it up midday on the first day you can also use on the third day in the morning .

Absolutely vital you get the hop on hop off bus experience,Edinburgh is a diverse and large city,we saw everything that we could within 3 nights in the capital because of this,we would not have seen a quarter of it without the service,first thing I will buy next time we visit,

48 hour ticket together with the 3 main attractions: Holyroodhouse Palace, Royal Britannia and Edinburgh Castle is cheap in the package and you don't need to queue if you book in advance. The conversion of GyG's QR code on site at St. Andreas Square worked perfectly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. As is well known, you won't get very far in the UK without knowledge of English...
