A sausage dog, a dalmatian and a bichon friese enjoyed a pawsitivley perfect day exploring Edinburgh’s sights from the top deck of a Bright Bus Tour.
To celebrate the brightest tour bus in town’s 3rd Birthday (today), Ernie 2, Poppet 3, and Walter, 6, jumped on board for a pawty, complete with hats, balloons, and pup-cakes.
Bright Bus Tours, which welcomes four-legged friends on its city tours is offering exclusive discounts to dogs and their owners this weekend as a special birthday treat. The Bright Bus team will also be sharing 150 free tickets across the streets of Edinburgh today.
With the option to hop-on and hop-off board over 24- and 48-hour ticketing periods, dog owners in the Edinburgh can enjoy the ultimutt city day out – with plenty of room for toilet breaks, treats and exploring different corners of the city, whilst taking in the famous Edinburgh sights.

We love having wagging tails on board and are we’re proud to include man’s best friend in our brilliant tours around Edinburgh.”
Ernie, the sausage dog who enjoyed his tour with owner Sarah, said: “I’d give bright bus a 12/10 for a heckin good day! It was wuffley to see the Edinburgh sights from up high – sometimes I miss them with my little legs! Mummy said I was a good boy on board, and the other humans enjoyed it when my ears flapped in the wind as we were rolling by Edinburgh Castle!”
The operator of the not-boring bus tour, which recently re-launched its Britannia route around the city, offers tickets from just £10 for 24 hours of hop-on, hop-off fun.
With upgrade options available from as little as £3, humans and doggies can add on an extra tour or additional 24-hour validity to squeeze in even more sightseeing adventures pawmising waggy tails all round!

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
