I can’t believe you drive on the Royal Mile, cool! An the rest of the loop around town is nice, including seeing the castle, the palace, and Arthur’s seat.

Really nice route and informative audio guides. I like that they gave out headphones. Many of the stops were fantastic and the guides on the ground were very kind and helpful.

Great experience. Did the 24 hour red line and then upgraded to the blue line the following morning. Got to see the whole experience. The green line has an actual person talking and jumped on that line as I was too lazy to walk uphill on the mile. Ll

Fabulous must-do to see the city and then choose where you want to explore. So wonderful and fun to sit up on the top floor and see all the sights. Love it!
Highly recommended
Stephanie_S, Oct 2026
So fun, informative, and easy to use, easy to access. Very cool that they stopped right in front of our hotel. I highly recommend it.
Don’t waste your money
Erin_W, Oct 2026
We were all given the wrong map. No one told us to get a headset. (In Big Bus information was also overhead.) Neither the driver nor the headset commentary told us what stop we were at. I got off after 6 stops and did better on my own.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Dear Erin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear about your experience on our City Sightseeing Edinburgh tour.
This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered. You should have been given the correct, up-to-date map and clearly informed about the headsets at boarding, and our audio commentary and team on board should always make it clear what stop you are approaching. We understand how frustrating it must have been to not have that essential information, and we completely understand why you chose to continue on foot.
We have shared your comments with our Edinburgh operations team to address immediately:
- Ensuring all maps being distributed are for the correct current route
- Reminding our team to proactively offer headsets and instructions to every guest on boarding
- Checking our audio system and stop announcements to ensure they are clear and synchronized
Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve.
Kind regards,

I bought 2 tickets online @ £18 each on Wednesday 23rd September for bus tour tickets, when I went on the app it would not give me a QR code ,kept asking for my email address when entered kept coming back with totally different email to mine. Unable to contact anybody for help yet money was taken out of my account. Was forced to buy two more tickets from the tour guides so we could go on the tour another £36

Please get in touch with us through https://city-sightseeing.com/es/contacto and send us your booking details and proof of both payments.

Horrible communication
Sean_H, Sep 2026
The city scheduled a marathon. It caused 6 stops to be cancelled. The biggest issue is no one told us. We had to walk an extra 2 km to catch a bus as we were standing at a closed stop.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Dear Sean, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback for City Sightseeing Edinburgh, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced.
You are absolutely right, the city scheduled a marathon which unfortunately caused 6 stops to be cancelled due to road closures imposed by the city council. These major city events are outside of our control and affect all traffic in the centre.
However, we completely understand your frustration regarding communication. No one told you and you had to walk an extra 2 km to catch a bus while waiting at a closed stop. This is not the experience we want for our guests and we sincerely apologize for this.
Your comments are very important to us. We are sharing your feedback with our local operations team in Edinburgh to improve how we inform our guests in advance when events like this affect our route, including better signage at affected stops, notifications on our app, and information from our staff on board.
Thank you again for letting us know, and we hope you still managed to enjoy your time in Edinburgh despite this disruption.

Great way to orient yourself in Edinburgh
Louise_W, Sep 2026
Quite a good way to see Edinburgh up high. Plenty of room on bus upstairs.
Sometimes you couldn't tell which building the audio was referring to.
Waterloo place stop was closed. Would be good if route/stops were updated with such changes. Walked all the way back then had to walk back to another stop.

We enjoyed our tour with David. He was knowledgeable and witty. The castle itself is not very impressive but the tour made the history of the times come alive.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Sounds like David worked his magic!
He has that brilliant knack of turning stones into stories; witty, knowledgeable and making the history come alive even when the castle is playing hard to get. We’ll pass your lovely words to him.
Thanks for exploring with us in Edinburgh!

Bree_P, Sep 2026
Great way to see the city as well as learn some interesting history. I would recommend it as something you do first, and then plan your trip around what you see.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Bree, you nailed the game plan!
Ride, learn a few juicy stories you won’t find on Google, then go back and conquer your favourites. That’s Edinburgh done right.
Thanks for the love and for the killer tip for future explorers!

Highly recommend!
Samantha_S, Sep 2026
Great way to see the town first! Get on the bus and drive it all the way around! You then can decide where you would like to get back off and back on.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
That’s the ultimate pro move right there!
Full loop first, scout the city like a local, then plot your hop-on, hop-off mission. Edinburgh is perfect for that: one minute you’re at the Castle, next you’re hunting haggis in the Old Town.
Thanks for sharing the top tip and for cruising with us!
