    Asked on March 14th, 2026

    Any of your tours including the Edinburgh Tattoo this year? If so, which ones please

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten March 2026

      We do not have any tours scheduled this year for the 2026 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo unfortunately.

  • D

    Dave

    Asked on January 16th, 2025

    We will need a cheap motel/hotel/hostel close (walking distance) to the Edinburgh Bus Station Pick Up point for June 12 and June 24. We don't want a luxury place, just a place to crash the night before and after the tour.

    Accommodation
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      I recommend finding one by the pick up location in Edinburgh Bus Station, St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, EH1 3DQ. June is summer in Scotland, so it was much warmer if you prefer that! It's one of the most popular times to visit the area.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      Here are some accommodation that I found that are affordable and walking distance to the bus station: St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh Backpackers, Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate.
