text: Having ridden the same bright red bus in Bath and enjoyed it I figured that trying the same in Edinburgh would be a useful introduction to the city and would give me the lay of the land for further detailed excursionsnnThe City Sightseeing Bus Tour starts from Waverley Bridge though you can purchase your ticket at any of their stops and makes a dozen stops throughout the city As you are driven about through the traffic you plug your earphones a plastic sealed fresh pair for every visitor into the jack and are told facts and things are pointed out by the recorded voice Other than English they have other languages available plus there is a captioned television screen inside the bus for those who are hard of hearingnnLots of the information is very interesting and useful but Edinburgh is such a big city that it is hard to get into much depth on just stops I left the bus feeling a little rushed and felt that at least this time it was not worth itnnPerhaps it was my mood loads of people seem to ride this bus or any of their competitors
