- Audit opinion

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2024 as a whole saw a reasonable increase in revenue from core operations with a slight change to services offered together with rebranding of one of the routes.”
- “The Company holds a Green Tourism gold award as well as a Tripadvisor 2024 Travellers' Choice accolade.”
- “At the City Sightseeing awards held in Edinburgh in November 2023 we were awarded best overall City Sightseeing operator worldwide which everyone at the Company was extremely proud of.”
