Bright Bus Tours launch ‘Kids Go Free’ initiative over school Easter holidays
Edinburgh’s Bright Bus Tours has announced its new ‘Kids Go Free’ initiative which allows under-16s to tour the capital's landmarks free of charge throughout the school Easter break.
Kids aged 15 and under will be able to travel for free on the hop-on-hop-off service from today (Wednesday 6th April) until the close of business on Easter Monday (Monday 18th April) if accompanied by a fare paying adult.
The not-boring bus tour takes in the sights of Edinburgh Castle, the historic Royal Mile, the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Palace and a chance to soak up the culture of Edinburgh’s Grassmarket making it the perfect way to entertain the kids for the day over the holidays.
Tony Stewart, City Tours Manager at Bright Bus Tours, said: “We know how difficult it can be to keep the kids entertained for a full two weeks while they are off school, so we wanted to try and play our part in helping parents while also offering a fun and exciting way for the kids to take in all that Edinburgh has to offer.
“Whether you are visiting Edinburgh for the first time or live in the city and want to take in the historic sights of the capital, this is the perfect opportunity to do so at a fraction of the cost.”
Tickets are priced at £10 for an adult day ticket and need to be bought directly from the Bright Bus Tours street team or from the driver as you get on the bus. This offer is valid for up to three kids to experience Bright Bus Tours’ original City tour free of charge per adult.
Bright Bus Tours operate every 15 minutes from 9am with the last tour departing St Andrew’s Square at 4pm.

About Bright Bus:
Bright Bus Tours appeared on the growing Edinburgh Tour market scene in summer 2019. A new brand that was genuine, engaging and authentic but with a personality that clearly distinguished itself from our Parent Company, First Scotland East.
Introducing ‘The not boring bus tour’ – a new open top tour service in Scotland’s Capital. Bright Bus is the result of an enormous team effort to create a brand-new venture in time for the peak Summer season.
An effort of over 300 litres of paint, 1200 seats and cushions retrimmed, 800 V6E commentary systems installed, 2400 metres of cable fitted – and all but two lunch breaks missed. A project born from the First Bus Scotland team spanning every department to deliver this daring project in just 90 days from concept to launch
