    I bought my ticket online, quickly and easily. I really enjoyed the live commentary on the Edinburgh tour (Green route) and David was very entertaining.

    Overall the experience was very good. It was easy to buy the tickets online and the staff in the office were expedient and courteous. The bus rides were great - it's an excellent way to start a stay in Edinburgh and find out what interests you. The guide for the green ride, Scott, was awesome. He was knowledgeable and very funny. The only thing is that the green and red rides were very similar. Probably don't need both.

    The first day we rode the entire route to get a feel for the city. Then we chose which stops were more relevant to our needs and utilized the bus to maximize our ability to see as much as we could. The second day we were able to see more because quite honestly riding multiple times we saw sights we missed on other trips.
