Hop aboard our Edinburgh bus tour at Waterloo Place in central Edinburgh and travel along Princes Street, where you’ll hear about the famous castle and gorgeous gardens. We then head to the Grassmarket, one of the best places to visit in Edinburgh, and a place that functioned both as a lively marketplace and a notorious place of execution. You’ll learn about Edinburgh’s most famous dog, Greyfriars Bobby before we take you around Edinburgh’s central university area. The buildings here are stunning and there’s the chance to spot some of the magical places that inspired the Harry Potter books. After we’ve given you an introduction to Edinburgh’s famous Royal Mile, we venture past the National Gallery and down into the new town. Here you’ll learn about the Scottish pioneers who lived in these beautiful Georgian buildings. Next, we head off the beaten track and into Edinburgh’s quaint Dean Village. This residential zone was once a separate village and is packed full of charming cobbled lanes. We continue exploring the dean area, where you’ll get a view of Stewart’s Melville College and the Galleries of Modern Art. Back in the city centre, we travel along George Street and Queen Street before taking you past Calton Hill. From here we head down to the foot of Arthur’s Seat, where the regal Holyrood Palace is located. Our last step of the journey takes us through the Canongate, past the John Knox House and back to Waterloo Place. This panoramic city tour has a duration of 2 hours on board an open top 16-seater mini coach.
