Good experience and opportunity to see an overview of the city
It takes over an hour to go all the way around. It's a good way to see where everything is but it is time consuming. If you wanted to turn Edinburgh Castle and then go to Holly Road it would take you an hour to get there in an hour to get back. It's too bad they don't have a bus just to go up and down the Royal mile.
Hi Susan, Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear the tour helped you get an overview of Edinburgh and its attractions. As Edinburgh's city center can be busy and traffic levels vary throughout the day, journey times between stops can sometimes be longer than expected. We appreciate your feedback on the route and will be sure to share it with the local team. Alexandra I. @ Big Bus Tours

Unreliable, diverted past stop without notice
Good overview of the city, be mindful of the weather. Can be clubbed with passes. Highly recommended as day 1 experience.

We appreciate your helpful tip about checking the weather and are glad you found the pass options convenient. We hope to welcome you on another Big Bus Tours experience soon! Daniel@BigBusTours
We booked so we could ride the red and blue routes as we had tickets for the Royal Yacht Britannia . It worked out well so we made our reservations and also made it back to the downtown area.

An excellent way to get a quick overview of the historic center of the city, even though in a single tour it passes twice in the same place. Comments in French. We can be upstairs if it does not rain and if there is not too much wind....
A good time! Enjoyed the headphone summary.
