Visit to Edinburgh Castle and Vintage Bus Sparkling Afternoon Tea Tour for Two
About this experience
Experience everything on offer at the famous Edinburgh Castle, before tucking into vintage afternoon tea for two served aboard a vibrant bistro bus.
Edinburgh Castle has been variously a fortress, military barracks and royal residence during its existence. You’ll learn all about this and more with entry across the site including the Scottish National War Museum, regimental museums and every intriguing nook and cranny the castle has to offer.
You’ll also have a 90-minute bus ride around the city, coupled with a delicious roving afternoon tea with a glass of Prosecco. Observe the city from on high then see it up close on a whistle-stop street-level tour – it’s a great way to discover Scotland’s capital!

“A great day of touring and fun in Edinburgh”
We very much enjoyed our visit to Edinburgh Castle, such a beautiful building with wonderful views and interesting history. The afternoon tea tour for two was very special too. The staff were particularly friendly, helpful and entertaining. They create a fun atmosphere on the bus and provide an excellent tea with freshly made sandwiches and cakes. The scones were perfect. The prosecco made it special and being able to order more wine/gin cocktails along the way made it even more fun.

“Castle and Vintage Bus Afternoon Tea ”
Excellent day visited the castle first had a short free tour then explored it ourselves. Then arrived for the afternoon tea, good selection of food, well presented, quirky setting and lovely staff.
“First class experience”
Easy to book and easy to use. The Vintage bus with afternoon tea was a quirky and fun way to see Edinburgh. Edinburgh Castle was a great place to spend a couple of hours exploring.
