About
Step aboard a thrilling bus tour adventure, beginning at the charming St Andrew Square, and weave your way through Edinburgh’s finest, culture-rich destinations. Revel in the bustling atmosphere of Grassmarket, an iconic historic marketplace nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Hop off and quench your thirst for knowledge at the National Museum of Scotland, located on the renowned Chambers Street.
The adventure continues to the awe-inspiring John Knox House, a magnificent medieval edifice that has stood the test of time since the 15th century. While there, why not indulge in a leisurely stroll along the picturesque Canongate, where glorious buildings abound? Or perhaps, venture to Holyrood and explore the royal park while paying a visit to the majestic Palace of Holyroodhouse.
