Can you imagine yourself opening the eyes of visitors to Edinburgh to all the city has to offer from the top of an open-top double decker bus? If you think you can you bring the city to life in an engaging and entertaining way, then Edinburgh Bus Tours would like to hear from you. Edinburgh Bus Tours, part of the Lothian family, is one of Scotland’s top paid-for visitor attractions and offers a five-star visitor experience. We help over 700,000 visitors each year create unforgettable memories as they discover our breathtaking capital. Our Guides are responsible for providing an enjoyable and informative tour of Edinburgh, in English, on an open top bus. Each tour is unique and unscripted. To help with this, useful information and training will be provided. Guides must have the ability to combine knowledge of the cultural heritage of the city with information about current events and not to be missed experiences as well as exhibiting a passion for showing off Scotland’s capital to the world.
