Customer Reviews

  • mia sakiman

    Great purchase! The Bright Bus Edinburgh Combo was worth every penny. Easy to use, informative guides, and a fantastic way to explore the city

  • Chelle ALTON

    Very pleasant & courteous staff, 2 diverse routes. Unfortunately road closures prevented access to main city sights (not company’s fault), but not ideal
    Clear informative commentary - maybe would like greater information & detail. A fair amount of blank music.

  • Duncan Lord

    Good commentary, informative and not too incessant. We did both tours, city centre covered all main sites (plenty of time sitting at traffic lights to take everything in!!) and the Britannia tour nicely covered the New Town and area around the docks.
