Lothian Buses: Edinburgh Tour
Olympian / RH edit
The tour was initially operated with Alexander RH bodied Olympian buses cascaded from the main fleet, converted into both partial & full open top buses. They were painted in a light green & cream livery based on the dark green/cream design previously used by Guide Friday - the Guide Friday name was also initially retained on the buses, in small red lettering.

Trident / President edit
The fleet has since been replaced with low-floor buses from the 1999 built T-reg batch (509/510) and V-reg batch (511-521, 529/530), cascaded from the main fleet and converted into open top buses. This change saw the livery refreshed with a new design, now in two tone green (a similar update occurred with the Majestic Tour). The buses use/d were/are as follows:
- T-reg: 509-510
- V-reg: 511-521 (521 from Majestic Tour, 512-6 since gone to World Heritage tour)
- V-reg: 529/30
