Edinburgh Scotland hop on hop off - We completed the bus route to o twin an overview of the city and choose locations we may be interested in further exploring. The 14 stops were located to sites of interest to most people. Maps were online and on the buses. The drivers were very patient and professional answering tourists questions regarding routes.

Excellent resource - It is convenient. You hop and off wherever you need/want to. Great price too! We loved the full round trip the first time. Took the bus again as we needed to get to a guided tour.

Always enjoy hop on hop off to explore new places - We did the Green and the Blue buses, taking the package is cheaper so we did that. One bus took us within the city, although we had done that on foot but it was a different experience to hear stories and facts about all the different landmarks. Our guide, I wish I remembered her name, even gave her recommendation for restaurants to try. We did go by her recommendation and oh we are glad we listened to her! The other route takes you a bit farther from the centre. The tickets are valid up to 24 hours so you can hop on and off at your own pace. It is a great way for tourists to enjoy and explore Edinburgh, I highly recommend it.

City Sightseeing Edinburgh tour - I had a fantastic time on the City Sightseeing Edinburgh tour! From the moment I arrived at the easy-to-find pick-up location, I felt the excitement in the air. The tour buses arrived regularly, making it a breeze to hop on. For the best experience, I highly recommend grabbing a seat on the top deck with the open roof. The panoramic views of Edinburgh’s stunning landmarks are absolutely breathtaking! As you roll through the city, the audio guides provide fascinating insights into each site, bringing the history to life. And the flexibility of the tour is a game-changer—feel free to hop off at any stop that piques your interest, explore at your own pace, and easily catch another bus every 12 minutes. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the rich culture and beauty of Edinburgh!

Great way to see and hear about the city - We love hop on hop off tours. We usually ride one full distance and then start hopping once we know what/where we want to go. We did have a problem with the voucher not working when we boarded a bus but the driver took us to a manned booth to work it out. It wasn’t clear to us which company we were to use since Edinburgh had three separate services. It all worked out and we were pleased with our decision to buy this pass.
