About this experience

This ticket gives you a place on the Big Bus Edinburgh hop-on, hop-off open-top double-decker bus tour, covering Edinburgh's main districts and landmarks. The guide's City Tour runs 13 stops across the Old Town, the Georgian New Town, and key sites including Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Scottish Parliament, Dynamic Earth, and the National Museum of Scotland.
