My family of 5 from US took a tour in late May. Stop #6 was very convinient to our hotel and was attended so our online thickets were scanned so we did not have to when we got on the bus. Handed a disposal set of head phones that plugged in nicely in front of us. The RED guided tour was very informative and helpful. Wish we had more time to take one of the longer tours. Highly recommend this to all first time visitors to Edinburgh. Mind the weather ; we were able to sit outdoors on the top making it a vey comfortable trip around the city. Thanks.

Learning history of Edinburgh through the headphones was great! We had a fantastic day out in Edinburgh as a family of four and would reccomend this tour. Staff were super friendly, and the buses were regular. Superb!

So easy to book a ticket online and one of the best hop on hop off tour I've done in Scotland. I saw everything I wanted to see and stops in all the right places. Edinburgh is awesome!

Shopping with Headout was pretty easy, although we didn't get the promised discounts, which was a bummer. The city tour was good, it gave us what we expected: a comprehensive view of the city.

This service was very easy to use and myself with mobility issues found that I could pop off and on to buses easily. Also all drivers and staff should be commended , as all very very helpfull. We done a full loop with earphones, and the decided where to get off on the second loop. WELL DONE

Love the option of open air and covered seating. Love the narration along the way. Love the flexibility to hop on hop off. It's just a great way to see the city!

Easy to book.... wonderful view of the city... easiest way to get to the waterfront. Only problem was that at one on the minor stops, the driver didn't automatically stop, so I was left standing there :-( didn't realize I needed to flag him down

Brilliant day out and the bus service is brilliant, so many stops that you can just jump off and back on again to go to another part of Edinburgh. The price is very reasonable too. I would recommend it to anyone

The buses were delayed and over-crowded. There must be a better way to manage crowds when such delays occur. Staff at bus stops told us they didn't know what was going on!
