Edinburgh Tattoo Buses FAQ

So, this all started when I was looking for a FEW other people to join the seven in our party to bus to and from the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. And it grew to where we now have 130 people who have signed up to take one of the buses. My friends keep asking me when I became a travel agent or tour operator. And I am on the hook for more than $400 in deposits and eventually the entire cost must be paid in advance a month before we sail. So here is everything you need to know.

FAQ--READ THIS ALL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING

How much will the bus trip cost?

Cost is $12.50 US per person.

What time will the bus leave from the tender dock?

The buses will depart the tender dock at 2:00 pm on August 16. They will take us directly to the Royal Mile, the site of the Edinburgh Tattoo. If you are not on the dock by 2:00 pm, you will need to find your own way to the Royal Mile.

When will the buses leave the Royal Mile for the return trip?

The buses will leave immediately after the conclusion of the Military Tattoo. They will wait no longer than 30 minutes following the end of the performance. If you miss the bus, you must find your own way back to the ship.

Where will the buses pick us up for the return trip?

You will be informed by the driver when you leave the bus where the bus will be for the return trip. We are hoping it will depart from the same place we are dropped off.

What bus company are we using?

We are getting three buses from Ladywell Travel. You can see their website by clicking here. They come with good reviews.

What if for some reason we do not dock in Edinburgh or I do not go on the cruise? Can I get a refund?

No. If this happens we are also out all the money we have spent on Tattoo tickets so the $12.50 for the bus is the least of our worries. I have to pay for the buses before we leave for the cruise and the cost is non-refundable. If this bothers you, I fully understand but this means you will need to find your own transportation to the Tattoo.

How do I insure that I am on the bus?

You MUST fill out the form at right and pay the $12.50 per person.

Can I send you a check?

No. I don't want to have to deal with checks, money orders, cash, being paid on board or any other method of payment. You can use PayPal or use a credit card through PayPal on the form at right.  If this bothers you, I fully understand but this means you will need to find your own transportation to the Tattoo.

Will I need to set up a PayPal account to pay?

You can pay as a guest with your credit card. You DO NOT need to register a bank account.

What is the deadline for filling out the form and making payment?

If you haven't filled out the form and paid by April 1 (no fooling) you will not have a place on the bus. No exceptions. Sorry, I need to get this off my plate and have it completely set up. This form will disappear on April 1.

I am having problems with the PayPal part of the form. Can you help me.

Sure. I set up a tutorial below.
