Majestic Tour Bus

Besides being a rip off (£14 just to enter!), these lazy double-​decker tour buses shuffle tourists all around Edinburgh, jet-​lagged and nodding off as they listen to boring prerecorded «tour guides» on the complimentary headphones.
If they only knew you could hop on an actual city bus for £1.50 (or £3 for the day), riders of these Majestic tours would see far more of the city and get to the Royal Yacht (or whatever) much more quickly.
Shut up, take my money and lead me to the nearest bagpiper! And step on it!

Great service, elaborate and funny guides. Sunshine and excellent weather condition I had yesterday. Who would claim more:)

My friends and I decided to hop on board the Majestic Tour the other bus with a few of his friends who were visiting from America. Out of all the tours buses we chose the Majestic Tour because it went a bit further out. It doesn’t go to the castle, Royal Mile or the other predictable tourist stuff but all of those things are within walking distance anyway so we decided to go further afield. The key points on the Majestic Tour are;
Royal Botanic Gardens
Newhaven
Royal Yacht Britannia
Leith
Through-​out the tour there’s a commentary which is probably the worst I’ve ever heard in my life. There were two narrators one called Willy the other called Evelyn and they were just having a general chat but they had the worst chat ever and kept making «jokes» like «oh no he didn’t Evelyn… Oh yes he did Willy.» Just awful. In between the terrible banter they played music that sounded like something out of The Little House and the Prairie. Awful.
To be honest, I’m still trying to figure out what was Majestic about it, in all honesty it was a bit of a waste of £12 and the No. 22 bus goes on pretty much the exact same route for a smidgen of the price.
