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.

This is the best ticket for you if you only had a 2 days in Edinburgh. First day we did all the attractions then the 2nd day just relaxed on the bus and got off on some of the places like Calton hill and climb to Arthur’s seat. Amazing experience. Really recommend Klook

Went on the 3D2N Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness Tour with the boys. Our amazing and witty tour guide, Neil, truly gave us an unforgettable experience with his active engagement and storytelling with stunning visuals. Although the sun set early during winter and the weather wasn’t in our favor, we managed to cover most of our itinerary with Neil’s strategic planning. Strongly recommend Timberbush Tours if it’s your first time in Scotland.

My guide Adam was very knowledgeable in Scottish history and told them in very intriguing stories. I booked the tour quite late, but Timberbush was quick to help me find accommodation. The itinerary was good, offering a good start to learn Scotland’s history and enjoy the highland views. The tour bus was comfortable to sit in, and the windows were large for sightseeing during travel. Adam also played Scottish music when he wasn’t telling us stories—a more immersive Scottish experience. Overall, a great tour and would recommend going on days with good weather - great views along the way!!

Our tour guide was Jen and she was knowledgable and hilarious! Her storytelling is great, it was easy to follow and listen through. The overall experience took about 1.5hrs including the walk from St Giles Cathedral, entry was also simple and quick. Edinburgh is quite rainy in November so bring a small umbrella or wear a waterproof jacket. We had to walk up slopes, stairs and stand around so make sure you are able to stand and walk for about 1.5hrs. We were also free to explore the castle on our own after the tour. Would recommend if you love hearing about history and there are some things that you will not find out if you do a self guided tour, the locals know best. easy to redeem via Klook.
