We we're disappointed that the narrative was taped, would have preferred a live tour guide. The narrative was out of sync with the location of the bus as well.

We love HOHO bus tours to get oriented in a new city. That was equally true for Edinburgh, especially in our jet lagged state! It was a perfect way to get the lay of the land and figure out the definite places we wanted to go in the following days. it was a recorded narration with headphones, which droned a little at various points, but that may well have been the exhaustion talking!

Always good to do this whenever you arrive in a city as it is a great way to get your bearings and to see the city

I cant leave a review because while we tried to change our day, we were never able to get through to the tour company because they do not answer their phones. Viator did their part immediately and even kept in contact with us, provided alternate numbers but we were never able to get them to answer our calls.

Tour was great and covered the best spots around Edinburgh. Commentary was super clear though some part can be not boring if you are not a history buff.

The city is quite congested but the bus made everything convenient- we went on complete tour and on second round, got off at our selected locations. The bus was comfortable and informative. Highly recommended to get around the beautiful city.

Always recommend Hop on hop off tours to any city that you don't know. It's a great way to get to know the lie of the land and the key tourist offerings and provides regular transportation to your next destination. Good value

We enjoyed the Hop on Hop off bus through historic Edinburgh. The Edinburgh Castle was fabulous and the eating establishments were great. We enjoyed some bagpipe music outside the castle!
Definitely a fun experience!
