Oyster Card or London Visitor Travel Card
Published on January 13th, 2010.
…Which offers better value?
An Oyster Card and a London Visitor Travel Card are both great to have during your stay in London as using the underground and bus network is much more affordable and quick than getting around with taxis. As both can be used on London Transport, a popular question has arisen…which offers better value? This popular question has a popular answer…it depends!
It depends on how often you plan on using London’s underground and bus network, including the number of days you will be in London and how many times a day you plan on traveling. The Oyster Card is a Pay-As-You-Go card so you start with £15 credit and can add more credit if you run out. Whereas if you plan on using the tube and bus more often on select days then the London Visitor Travel Card provides unlimited travel for either 3 or 7 days.

City Sightseeing Edinburgh
Published on September 8th, 2009.
Climb Aboard an Open-top Bus for the Ultimate Tour
City Sightseeing bus tours are a great way for visitors to become familiar with a city as they are guided from one stop to the next. Live commentary brings life to a list of attractions that are filled with stories, history and culture that you would surely miss if you tried to see them all on foot. The real beauty of the City Sightseeing tour is that you can choose the stops you want to get off at and hop on the next bus that passes, often only 15 minutes apart.
If any of the following cities* are on your itinerary then let City Sightseeing show you around: Bath, Belfast, Blackpool, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chester, Colchester, Eastbourne, Edinburgh, Felixstowe, Glasgow, Great Yarmouth, Inverness, Ipswich, Liverpool, Llandudno, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Newport, Norwich, Oxford, Stirling, Stratford, Windsor or York.
This month our focus falls on City Sightseeing Edinburgh, capital of Scotland. 12 stops bring visitors through Edinburgh’s Old Town, to the elegant Georgian New Town, to the Royal Mile which joins Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House and much more as seen on the following list of City Sightseeing Edinburgh’s stops and nearby attractions:
*With low season upon us, please note that some tours have seasonal operations. These tours have year round operations: Bath, Belfast, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, and York
