About Private Tour Hire
35 Seated
Our vintage 1966 Routemaster has been lovingly converted into Edinburgh's most distinctive private dining space, complete with plush cream and tartan-accented booths that run along both sides of the upper deck. When you book Private Tour Hire, you're securing the entire double-decker for your group of up to 35 guests, transforming a regular celebration into a moving feast through Scotland's capital. The bus interior combines nostalgic touches with modern comforts. Panoramic windows frame the city as it passes by, while vintage-style lamps cast a warm glow over tables set with fine china and crystal. Our onboard kitchen operates throughout your journey, meaning hot dishes arrive at your table perfectly timed, despite the gentle motion of travel. Fresh scones emerge warm from our ovens, paired with clotted cream and jam, while our bartenders craft gin cocktails served playfully in vintage teapots. Private hire transforms any gathering into something extraordinary. Corporate teams find the shared journey breaks down formality, while birthday groups love watching Edinburgh Castle appear through the windows just as the cake arrives. We've hosted engagement parties where couples toast with champagne as we round Arthur's Seat, and family reunions where three generations share afternoon tea while the Royal Mile rolls past. Your 90-minute journey begins at St Andrew Square, conveniently central for all your guests. We work with you to customize menus featuring Scottish ingredients, from traditional afternoon tea spreads to heartier options. Our fully stocked bar includes an impressive selection of Scottish whiskies and chilled fizz. The combination of movement, changing views, and shared dining creates an atmosphere impossible to replicate in any fixed venue, making Private Tour Hire perfect for groups seeking celebration with a difference.
