Big Bus Tours Edinburgh service is occasionally affected by road closures. In these circumstances, some stops may be closed, frequency may be affected, or service on one or all routes may be partially curtailed. On rare occasions, we may need to temporarily suspend all service in the instance of very poor weather or for expected and unplanned city events. We will do our best to notify customers of any service amendments or suspensions on this page or via our free app. If you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact us.
