The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is one of the few global events to rival its glamour. Set against the beautifully illuminated walls of Edinburgh Castle on the Esplanade, the Tattoo brings together international military bands, dancers and performers in a stunning and precision driven celebration of pageantry. Each year in August, the performance sells out around the world, so groups attending the Tattoo should ensure they have transport into the Tattoo site.
The Tattoo takes place on the Castle Esplanade, which is right in the middle of the Old Town and not the easiest place to get to by car, especially on Tattoo nights. Therefore, hiring an Edinburgh coach for Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is simply the best way for groups to experience the Edinburgh Tattoo at their convenience.
The Problem with Access
The Edinburgh Old Town during a Tattoo night is a truly magnificent, lively, and very busy area. The streets surrounding the Royal Mile and Castle Hill have severe traffic restrictions. Finding parking in the vicinity is almost impossible. Moreover, after the show ends, all the people dispersing from the Esplanade hit the streets at once.
People arriving by car typically spend the first hour of their evening looking for a parking space, and the last hour stuck in traffic after the performance. Unfortunately, neither of these two experiences is what Tattoo patrons deserve!
The Correct Approach for Door-to-Door Group Transportation
Using a local professional driver from Edinburgh Minibus Hire will fix this issue entirely. We’ll be pick up your group from your hotel, accommodation, or an agreed central location – then we will take you directly to a safe drop-off point nearest to the Esplanade. Your driver will know where to go and how to get through the roadways for the event night.
After the performance is over, your group will be collected by the same vehicle and driver at the agreed pick-up point as we wait for the crowd to disperse on foot, and your group will be loaded and travel back to your accommodation with ease.
For group travel in Edinburgh, using a minibus hire with a driver is not just a luxury – it is the logical and sensible option.
Perfect for International Visitors
There are many people who come from other countries to participate in The Tattoo and most often it includes people coming from the USA, Canada, Australia, and different European countries. Most of the international groups like to visit a number of events during their stay in Edinburgh.
Group transfer services in Edinburgh include airport transfers, hotel pick-ups, transportation to more than one event each day, which means that your transport can be organized by the same company for your whole stay.
Our minibuses are equipped with Internet access and charging stations. This will be very convenient for foreign visitors since having all of the transport taken care of by a professional will relieve much pressure from visiting a new place.
Book your Tickets well in advance
The Tattoo occurs throughout the whole month of August and typically sells out every year. When tickets are placed on sale they sell out within a matter of days. With the amount of people who attend each year, all forms of public transportation in Edinburgh are at full capacity.
The availability of transport becomes equally limited as soon as the tickets sell out. Therefore, if you have booked your tickets for The Tattoo, book your transport simultaneously.
