Experiencia de té de la tarde en Edimburgo

It was very entertaining and a nice experience. Logically, the space for such an undertaking is extremely limited. There were only two of us, so we had enough space at our assigned table; with four people, it gets a bit tight. The food offered is of average quality, but it's okay. Overall a nice experience that we wouldn't want to have missed. The people who take care of the guests on the bus are very nice and friendly. The only thing is that it would be desirable if they would make an effort to speak more "standard English" for those who are not native speakers but are certainly very proficient in English. Due to the strong Scottish accent during the explanations before boarding the bus, we understood pretty much nothing :-(...but the subsequent procedure was then, thank God, somehow self-explanatory ;-)

This 90 minute bus trip was a wonderful birthday surprise, and we enjoyed every moment. The food was delicious, plentiful and well presented, and the whole experience was made even more enjoyable by our informative and fun guides. A fantastic experience from start to finish. My only small criticism would be that two stops felt unnecessary and took time off the tour.

Great way to see the city & enjoy the champagne. Can see most of where you want to go when it’s done then you can jump on a on & off bus to get around .

I have given this one star because I didn't actually get to experience the afternoon tea. I was given a voucher for my birthday and my friend and I booked originally for 11 April. Four and a half hours before the event I received an email cancelling it. Very annoying given we had arranged childcare and lifts home but these things happen. 15 emails later (back and forth) eventually managed to rebook for 18 July, after discovering they were trying to rebook Glasgow and not Edinburgh, with the promise of an upstairs seat and a bottle of prosecco. My friend and I made arrangements again and then at 5pm the night before they cancelled again - apologising and promising the same things promised after the first cancellation. Emails began again to try and rearrange, however, I sent my last one after 3 went unanswered on 30 July. It's now 31 August. Nothing. I have requested the voucher to be refunded because quite frankly if it's this much hassle just to book it I'm not hopeful for the actual afternoon tea!

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea experience in Edinburgh! It was such a fun and memorable way to see the city, and the entire staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout the experience. We visited on a particularly warm day, and the team worked so hard to make sure everyone was comfortable and helped us cool down whenever they could. We also really appreciated the thoughtful stops along the way for bathroom breaks and photo opportunities; getting to take pictures in the driver’s seat was such a fun touch! The afternoon tea itself was wonderful, but it was truly the staff who made the experience so special. You could tell how much effort they put into making sure everyone was having a great time. Such a unique way to experience Edinburgh, and definitely something we would recommend to anyone visiting the city!

Everyone was very friendly and the bus was fine. The ride itself is ok - would be nice to have more information about the city but not a gripe. The main issue was the food provided - simply a really disappointing effort for the money it cost, as others here have recently mentioned. Sandwiches provided were a cheese and pickle and ham and tomato, very basic. A small samosa and a falafel plus a few other things were just not very appetising. The cakes were really poor with a few clearly from a supermarket - I am not suggesting they should bake everything themselves, but sourcing nice cakes should not be difficult.

Unfortunately this fell short of our expectations- i will start with positives staff were really nice & attentive throughout the journey. The food offering was quite poor 2 very small triangle sandwiches each & the bread wasn't very fresh we also had very small samosa & an equally small topped crostini, we had some sweet treats/cakes & a scone. Although the food was nice enough there was just not enough of it, fortunately there had been some guests that didn't turn up so we were offered their food which we happily accepted. Overall we had a nice time but for the money paid we felt it wasn't worth it so for that reason wouldn't recommend it to others.

Having already been on this outing I booked again to go with a friend and again I would encourage anyone thinking of going to book without doubt that it’s an unforgettable experience. The afternoon tea provided was beautifully presented with lots of different choice that would suit lots of different tastes. Danni who was there to look after us was tentative and super friendly and a credit to your company. She made us feel welcome and ensured we had an enjoyable trip. Mark, the driver, as before was an excellent driver who knew the roads well to ensure a safe and comfortable trip. He also was friendly and couldn’t do enough to answer questions and ensure we had the most enjoyable experience. As well as offering to be our photographer. As last time I hope to be a passenger again on the red bus bistro. Hopefully see you all soon.

I booked this for my family and was excited about the ambience of the bus and getting a nice tour of the city while enjoying tea. First, let me just say our bus driver and our host were truly lovely. Our host was managing the entire service alone today and did a wonderful job. She also engaged with us quite a bit and gave some interesting facts as we drove. The food, however, is a major disappointment. The lunch meat sandwiches were warm and not very good. Tea was served in plastic to-go cups. The best thing we had was the scone, which was served nice and warm and with clotted cream and jam. The bus was not particularly clean and had sticky tables and sticky floors. We drove around in a circle and really saw very little of interest. Really wanted to love this but walked away disappointed. They need to up their game. This has the potential to be such a neat experience!

Excellent fun friendly tour. Lovely food, all you can drink tea and coffee. Lovely friendly and helpful guide and driver, would highly recommend
