Edinburgh Afternoon Tea or Gin Afternoon Tea Experience

It’s a relaxing bus tour through Edinburgh’s most scenic sights—cruising past landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle—combined with a classic afternoon tea service. You’ll enjoy a selection of sweet and savoury treats like Victoria sponge cake, smoked salmon blinis, mini quiches, and more, with optional alcoholic aperitifs for the Gin Afternoon Tea version. Throughout the journey, you’ll also have the chance to admire the city’s architecture and beautiful natural surroundings.

The total duration is 1 hour 30 minutes. This includes time for the guided experience as you travel past Edinburgh’s highlights and the opportunity to enjoy your afternoon tea (and, if selected, the gin pairing) during the ride.

Yes. If you choose the standard Afternoon Tea option, you can enjoy the full food selection without alcoholic aperitifs. For the Gin Afternoon Tea option, the tour still focuses on the tea service and food, but alcohol is part of that version—so if you’re avoiding alcohol, it’s best to select the non-alcoholic afternoon tea option.

You can expect a generous afternoon tea selection featuring classic and savoury bites. Highlights typically include Victoria sponge cakes, smoked salmon blinis, mini quiches, and additional treats alongside your tea service. For the Gin Afternoon Tea experience, alcoholic aperitifs are included as part of the pairing experience while you enjoy the sights.

The experience takes place in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Before you board, it’s recommended that you arrive on time and come hungry—there’s a variety of delicious food, so plan your day accordingly. If you have dietary requirements (such as allergies or vegetarian needs), you should check in advance with the provider so they can advise what can be accommodated.
