The hop-on hop-off bus tour was an excellent way to explore Edinburgh, especially for first-time visitors. It made getting around the city easy and convenient while covering all the major attractions, including the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, and more. The audio guide was informative and easy to follow, sharing interesting history and fun facts about the city. The flexibility to hop off at different stops, explore at your own pace, and then hop back on made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. The buses were comfortable, frequent, and offered great views from the upper deck—perfect for sightseeing and photos. This tour helped us get oriented and see a lot of the city in a short amount of time. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a relaxed and efficient way to see Edinburgh.

Our bus driver was fantastic. might be that the experience was less enjoyable for me as I was there many times. I have to act as a tour guide so that’s why.

The Royal Edinburgh Tour was indeed very royal. I learned so much of the history and seen so much. The Edinburgh Castle was magnificent, The Holyrood Palace was wonderful and the Royal Britannia was eye opening.

the tour started on time and gave a very good background of whisky. it ended with a short but sweet taste of a whisky of your choice. would recommend for whisky lovers— though it may leave you wanting to try more of the whisky kinds.

we’ve had an amazing experience with Neal (not Nigel). The experience far exceeded our expectations. Neal was very engaging, informative, funny, and insightful about all our comments. The gin quality was very good and had a variety of flavors. Great experience and would recommend.

Thank you, guide Julian! The whole trip was arranged very smoothly, with interesting explanations and relevant background music. You drove safely for a very, very long distance, and the car was quite comfortable. For those prone to motion sickness, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. Wanting to see the scenery but being too sick was really painful; I could only sleep the whole time, which was a shame. I was a little worried that the Isle of Skye in February would be too bleak, but it was very beautiful. It wasn't too cold, but the wind was very strong and it suddenly rained heavily, so remember to bring a windproof and waterproof jacket. Most of the shops in Portree are closed on Sundays. It was the second day of the trip, but there weren't many shops to browse, which was a bit of a shame, and I didn't feel well, but there was no pharmacy to buy medicine. Apart from my proneness to motion sickness which made me miss out on a lot, I highly recommend it overall!
