Fantastic 5 star experience - The bus is beautifully decorated, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. The service was excellent and the afternoon tea, drinks and cocktails were all lovely. A great itinerary and a fab way to see the city. Would totally recommend for locals and tourists alike. The staff were excellent throughout and really made this a special experience.

Most fun on four wheels in Edinburgh. - This was the most fun experience to start our time in Edinburgh. It was such a great way to get the overview of the city and just have a few laughs. The food was surprisingly good. The scones were awesome. The other guests were fun as well

Attention to detail and care ❤️ - I was a little nervous when I booked the Gin Afternoon Tea Experience in Glasgow with my husband Kevin. At the booking stage I was asked if we had any dietary requirements. I explained that Kevin has a tracheostomy and can’t swallow solids so one of us would be having only the liquid afternoon tea. Kevin could still enjoy the Prosecco and Gin Tea pot. I needn’t have worried - the bus hadn’t even set off when, at different times, both Alison and Helen approached us to say they had brought soup and yoghurt onboard in case Kevin wanted it. We saw parts of Glasgow and heard about facts in history that I never knew. The food was excellent, fresh, and tasty and the Prosecco added a sense of occasion to proceedings. The Gin tea pots were very special and served in a timely manner after I’d finished eating. We plan to book again but next time with friends to share the enjoyment. Being able to have a photo op in the cab of the Routemaster rounded off a great experience as I used to drive them when I was a bus driver back in the 80’s before joining British Airways in the early 90’s. Thank you Alison and Helen for a great day. We both enjoyed it immensely. You have both proved that care and great Customer Service are still alive in the service industry in the Uk. A massive round of applause to you both. Thank you.

Amazing experience! - Had a lovely time on the gin tea tour! Plenty of delicious food to try out with a variety of different options and food profiles. The provided Prosecco was a lovely addition and the gin tea cocktail was delicious - I’m not normally a gin fan but this was amazing. Scott as our host was funny, informative and welcoming. All in all a great experience!

Nice drive around town - American here. It was a cute experience, but I wouldn’t really call it a tour. The guide only named a few spots (like 3-4) and it was basic information you’d probably see on Google maps. A lot of mayo in the sandwiches, but that seems to be a UK thing in general. Cute atmosphere and very good gin tea. If you want just a nice bus ride around town I recommend, but yes if you’re looking for an educational tour experience this is not that, which was disappointing for us and left us feeling like we didn’t really get a tour experience. It’s a nice drive with lunch, not a tour.
