Bright Bus Tours turns two

Edinburgh open-top tour bus operator, Bright Bus Tours, is celebrating its second birthday.

The operator marked the occasion with a celebratory replica bus cake and a series of birthday presents gifted to people out and about around the city.

The operator launched a second sightseeing route around the Capital in May this year.

Inspired by Willy Wonka, Bright Bus is running a lucky Orange-Ticket-Giveaway and a street team spread throughout the city centre handing out Bright Bus Birthday Cards, each containing prizes including tickets to TRNSMT courtesy of SHOUT Edinburgh, Holyrood Distillery Tours, Free Edinburgh City Pass Tickets, Free Bright Bus Tickets. Non-winning tickets getting a Bright Bus Birthday hat as a consolation prize.

Unfortunately, candles on its first celebrations were blown out by lockdown measures.

Tony Stewart, Tour Manager at Bright Bus Tours, said: “It’s great to be able to mark our birthday with a proper celebration this year. We’re thrilled to be able to be out and about in Edinburgh, engaging with locals and tourists and getting them involved in the action. It’s a great way of bringing people together in a safe way, after a tough year, and I’m so glad to see so many people out enjoying our beautiful city’s landmarks through our tours.”
