Edinburgh Bus Tours introduce the Regal Tour

Posted: 26th March 2024

New jewel in award-winning tourist attraction’s crown!

Edinburgh Bus Tours launched its brand-new Regal Tour on Sunday 24 March.
Joining the existing live guide-led Edinburgh Tour, and CitySightseeing Edinburgh Tour (recently named the top CitySightseeing operator in the world!), the Regal Tour brings to life the city’s royal connections, taking in key attractions such as the Palace of Holyroodhouse, The Royal Yacht Britannia, and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

The tour also takes in the bustling communities of Leith and Newhaven, where visitors can hop off to explore the independent shops, bars and restaurants lining Leith Shore and Newhaven Harbour.
With a multilingual audio commentary highlighting all the key sights as you work your way around the city, the Regal Tour is a great way to see landmarks and attractions while exploring further afield beyond the city centre boundaries.

Sarah Boyd, Managing Director of Edinburgh Bus Tours, said: “We’re delighted to welcome visitors on board our new Regal Tour, which adds another dimension to our already fantastic five- star tour portfolio. We hope visitors to the city will take advantage of our ‘hop-on-hop-off’ tours and take the opportunity to explore our stunning capital city from the top deck. All of our tickets include excellent added value offers from key partners across the capital.

“The launch of the Regal Tour marks an exciting moment in our long history in the city of Edinburgh and we look forward to welcoming visitors on board.

“With Edinburgh Bus Tours, visitors can be confident of quality, reliability and value for money”.
Neil Christison, Regional Director at VisitScotland, said: “It’s great to see Edinburgh Bus Tours investing in the visitor experience in the city and expanding their exceptional tour offering. Edinburgh is steeped in the history of Scotland’s monarchs, and recent events have shown there remains a keen fascination from visitors to our royal connections. Bus tours are a fantastic way to get around Edinburgh and help encourage visitors to explore beyond the city centre and into the bustling communities of Leith and Newhaven.”
