Customer Reviews

  • Betsy Painter

    Couldn’t really see the Britannia only the bow… the streets around Leith, Stockbridge were too curved, small narrow and very bumpy made the trip exhausting. Many of the recording ports were not working.

    Friendly staff and bus drivers

  • Emma Roberts

    Value for money and backed up with the staff
