Michelle – United Kingdom1 September 2024  – Verified booking
We purchased the 48 hour, 2 route ticket, which we exchanged on a Sunday late morning and were told we could use up to and including Tuesday, which we were super pleased with. We used the Britannia route to see Her Majesty’s yacht but enjoyed the tour of outskirts and information provided on headphones. We then used City Tour to visit castle the following day and completed the City Tour loop on the Tuesday before we left. Knew we’d never fit everything in we wanted to do but was fab to see where we needed to go on our next visit.

A very informative tour of Edinburgh. It wasn’t helped by the traffic though as some parts of the tour were missed off.
