    Activity Overview

    Save money and enjoy flexible sightseeing with the Edinburgh hop-on, hop-off tour and the Edinburgh Old Town Walking Tour.

    Edinburgh hop-on, hop-off:

    Explore this historic city at your own pace and create your perfect sightseeing itinerary, hopping on and off the buses as you wish.

    Conducted on an open-topped double-decker bus, the tour has an exceptional array of stops - all strategically located to get you up close to your favorite attractions. From the spectacular Edinburgh Castle to the 15th-century John Knox House and The Queen’s official residence - the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the comprehensive route covers it all. Not to mention there’s an engaging audio commentary available on board in multiple languages!

    Some of the hop-on, hop-off stops are:

    • Waterloo Place
    • St Andrew Square
    • St John's Church
    • Grassmarket
    • Chambers Street
    • Royal Mile

    Edinburgh Old Town Walking Tour:

    Discover the charms of Edinburgh on a walking tour and explore the beautiful city steeped in rich history and perfectly preserved, in the wynds, closes, courtyards, and homes of Edinburgh’s Old Town.

    Step into Edinburgh’s past on a 90-minute walking tour led by a passionate local historian. Wander beyond the usual tourist trail through the Old Town, uncovering hidden closes, secret gardens, and forgotten landmarks along the Royal Mile, before descending into eerie underground vaults once filled with mystery and intrigue.

    Along the way, hear fascinating stories from the city’s earliest “skyscrapers” to the criminal behind Jekyll & Hyde, the origins of the “Black Market,” and chilling links to Burke & Hare - offering you a deeper, lesser-known side of Edinburgh.

    It is definitely worth going on hop0n and hop-off Tour but I would book when you get there. Unlike the bus tour in London, I believe it would have probably been cheaper once...

    We only had a very short time in Edinburgh and organising the Hop-on-Hop-Off bus tour before we left was very easy and saved us a lot of time and inconvenience. Thank you!...
