Hop-On Hop-Off Bus
You will have the best view in the city on board a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus. Take in all the major sights from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Greyfriars Bobby monument and so much more. With commentary available through headphones, buses departing every 30 minutes from each stop, and the ability to hop on and off as many times as you please along the route, there is no better way to soak up the sights and sounds of the city.  

Edinburgh Castle
Perched high on the hill at the end of the Royal Mile, the striking Edinburgh Castle is an imposing sight – and inside is just as impressive. The fortress is bursting at the seams with history, housing the dazzling Scottish Crown Jewels, and Stone of Destiny, as well as the Great Hall and Royal Palace. Plus, the entry to the castle is the ultimate selfie spot with magnificent panoramic views of the city below.

Scotch Whisky Experience
What’s a visit to Edinburgh without a whisky-tasting experience? Conveniently located next to Edinburgh Castle on the Royal Mile, this attraction will take you on a journey through Scotland’s five whisky producing regions. Your knowledgeable guide will provide you with an introduction to Scotch whisky, teaching you what goes into creating the perfect blend and how geography and weather impact the make. You will also get to explore the glass and marble vault of one of the world’s largest Scotch whisky collections, and all adults will receive a souvenir crystal whisky tasting glass.

Choose between a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour of Edinburgh, entry to Edinburgh Castle or the Scotch Whisky Experience.
