We provide Afternoon Tea tours around Edinburgh, offering customers both a sightseeing tour and a full afternoon tea aboard our vintage routemaster buses. We are fully licensed and sell alcohol and gin cocktails on our tours.

We are also booking for our Christmas tours, which consists of a two and a half hour tour with a three course Christmas dinner with wine provided. It is a great event for exclusive hires and regular customers alike.

It’s the time of year to begin making plans to come together with colleagues, friends and family to celebrate the magic of Christmas.

Marvel in the sights of either Glasgow or Edinburgh whilst tucking into a delicious three course Christmas dinner prepared aboard our vintage Routemaster bus.

    This was such a perfect experience! I took this tour on my own and the staff were so friendly and made me feel comfortable. The bus is so cute and the food was excellent! The gin pot was sooooo yummy! I had the perfect day, eating and getting a tour of the city! I felt sorry for the people on regular tour buses, ha! Don't hesitate, book!!

    Loved this tour. It was so cute. Great variety and good amount of little sandwiches and pastries. You will get assigned seats. You will give them your name and they will tell you where you will be sitting. We sat up top and it wasn’t cold. They played really good music and singing was encouraged. Just a nice thing to do one afternoon

    Over priced and over rated. Bus not clean and food of poor quality. Could not understand George over the intercom. Appreciate this is not a guided tour but you still need to understand what he is saying. Comfort stops not needed and uses up you tour time which could have been used to see other parts of Edinburgh. The staff should also have some form of dress code. They don't look very professional eg short top showing mid- drift. UPDATE I received a call from Red Bus to discuss the points I raised in my review. This was a 5 star response and they will look into my concerns immediately. May I also say that we did enjoy ourselves and hopefully the issues will be addressed and make the tour experience enjoyable for others.

    Disappointing experience. Food definitely not fresh as owner suggests in replies to other reviews. Nor is the bus deep cleaned, it was dirty and sticky. No sing-a-long on the bus. Had to ask staff a total of 3 times for pre-ordered drinks for our special celebration. Such a shame this has such potential but is very poorly managed. Spend your money of a standard bus tour and have a nice afternoon tea elsewhere :)
