The detailed information from the headphones was key to enjoying the experience so much The driver taking there time doing the tour so I could take everything in and take photos when I wanted. I would suggest better pin points on the maps of where people can get the tickets for the tour

It was so easy to book online and redeem paper ticket with the bus driver who was very nice and helpful. Really liked the commentary using free headphones when you first get on. A great way to see the city!

We did enjoy most of all the sites we visited and also the punctuality of coaches at every site we hop on. The ticketing experience was excellent

Route was OK but driver did not stop for main photo opportunities when they arose, eg Holyrood Palace, views were snatched for other locations but insufficient to take them in.

Easy to arrange ticket buying online. Frequent hop-on hop-off at well-placed stops. Good narration at many of the must see places around Edinburgh. Open top buses add to the experience.

The route is very interesting and the information shared helps to understand the history of the city. I recommend it for those who will only be in the city for a short time.

Great way to see the city on our first day in Scotland. We enjoyed the narration explaining a bit of the history as well as information about the location. The stops are really convenient and the option to upgrade to other bus routes is great.

We enjoyed this easy way to see some sights, esp. getting from the New Town all the way uphill to the Castle :-). Ticketing didn't work so well, though - I downloaded the app but it refused to display my reservation (or anything, actually). When we got back on the bus in the afternoon, we were following a completely different route than what the map showed, so we had a hard time following it. Still, it was a good ride.

Tickiting was very simple. Your service allowed us to hop on and off wherever we liked, to see some of the more interesting locations in more detail. We were then able to hop back on at various points of the route to continue the tour. Drivers were very friendly and helpful. We will be back.

The drivers were excellent at maneuvering in Ediburgh's narrow streets. The quality of the sound of the "guide" was marginal. hard to understand the guide sometimes. The route and stops were well-placed.

The bus was fine, like other tours I have taken. What I didn't like was that the tour was an audio recording, not a live guide. That is what I like most about these tours is that every time you get on, even if it's in the same place you hear something new. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great and that was what I was expecting.

Ticketing was very easy with headout! We hadn't planned ahead and didn't have tickets yet for simply the Edinburgh Castle entry, but we were able to purchase a package of Hop On Hop Off that included the Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood, and other great sites. Purchasing the package was the way to go!

The tour provided a narrative of the historic city of Edinburgh. The ease of hop on hop off made it most comfortable for Seniors. Being valid for 24 hours allowed us to see the various sites at different times of the day/night. The complexity of streets and different highlights made Headout the only way to go.

The person that printed our tickets was so very nice and helpful! The ride was great. The commentary was interesting. Unfortunately we had a passenger that smelled very strongly like stake urine. It made it difficult to breathe.

Ticketing was eay. But we wandered arround a bit just tryng to find the pickup point. The driver did a good job considering the extreme traffic jams all over the city. I loved being able to book tickets for the Castle on board as they were sold out everywhere else.

How easy it was, loved the commentary, there was charging portals on the bus, sound quality, the route. Loved everything about it. So handy and fun

The ticketing experience was super easy and stress free. The tour guide was friendly and super knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We weren't going to do it at first as our weeklong bus tour group was providing a tour of the city, but that one turned out to be rushed and very limited in what they showed us. We will definitely do Hop On Hop Off again and will recommend it to others.
