The Main Event

Hop aboard a vintage red double decker bus and enjoy a sparkling adventure through the heart of Edinburgh or Glasgow. This Red Bus Bistro tour is a lovely way to see the sights, catch up over a cuppa and enjoy a sparkling afternoon tea for 2.

Whether you choose historic Edinburgh with its castle views and cobbled charm, or the buzz of Glasgow’s music and culture scene, this is a real treat. Tuck into dainty finger sandwiches, mini quiches, wraps, cakes and sweet bites as you roll past the city's most famous landmarks. There is even the option to upgrade to their signature Gin Pot tails if you're in the mood for something with a bit more fizz.

It's one of the most fun things to do with friends, and perfect for birthdays, catch ups or simply making a day of it. The vintage bus is full of character, and the staff are as warm and welcoming as a Scottish hug.

After your sightseeing and sparkling afternoon tea, your getaway continues with a relaxing one night stay in either Edinburgh or Glasgow. Unpack, unwind and make the most of your time together, whether that's a nightcap in the bar or a wander through the city streets.

From girly weekends to birthday surprises, this experience is made for making memories. With great food, good company and plenty of photo opportunities, it is one of the best things to do in Edinburgh or a brilliant pick for days out in Glasgow. Treat yourself and a friend to a little Scottish sparkle, you both deserve it.
