Sat on the top deck at the front so great view, the commentary on the way round was both informative and amusing. Plenty of opportunities to hop on and off on the route, tickets last 48 hours so great value for money. Only disappointment was we couldn't go down the Royal Mile as there were roadworks but not the bus company's fault.
