Full description

Enjoy a sophisticated afternoon tea with a refreshing gin "pot-tail" (a cocktail in a teapot for larger parties) of your choice, served from the onboard trolley bar on a guided bus tour. Tuck into an afternoon tea consisting of a sandwich, petit fours, cupcake, warm scones, and mini quiches. Get a warm welcome from the bus staff with a glass of prosecco. Sit back, relax, and indulge your senses whilst taking in magnificent sites of the city like Edinburgh Castle and the Scottish Parliament Building.

Treat your taste buds to traditional scones with fresh whipped cream and jam, a selection of finger sandwiches, mini rolls or wraps, mini quiches, and a selection of petit fours and cakes, all washed down with as much tea and coffee as you can drink.

We enjoyed the tour and I would also like to commend the staff for their patience and understanding that day, as the person we brought with additional needs was enjoying so much that they didn’t want to get off and became quite agitated. Thankyou once again.

It ws wonderful to be shown to my seat with my own afternoon tea waiting and a cold Prosecco to start with on a warm day! The guide and the staff are friendly, funny, and charming. We had two stops, one a toilet stop and another for a photo pic driving the bus which was a laugh and quite a few people took the challenge of climbing up into the seat! A nice selection of treats and of course scones! I had the tea option but saw another couples gin cocktail option and it did look good! It was really enjoyable driving around the streets and seeing Edinburgh points of interest with music playing and a wonderfully eclectic decorated double decker bus!
