You DO NOT need to confirm your chosen departure point ahead of the tour, just be at the pick up point closest to your accommodation for the designated departure time.
For operational reasons, occasionally our ‘Ness Bus’ is covered by ORANGE or WHITE ‘The Hairy Coo’ branded buses, both of which are to the same high standard as our ‘Ness Bus’. In the event of a ‘The Hairy Coo’ bus being used a ‘Ness Bus’ poster/sign will be visible on the front windows next to the passenger door. Please LOOK OUT for any of the buses below showing up at the stops:
'Ness Bus' departs Edinburgh at 8.00 am. For your convenience, we offer a complimentary local departure service from Leith Links at 7.15am, to our last stop on Haymarket Station at 8:00am. You can choose your departure point and hop on the tour from several locations around the city.
As we want to jam-pack the tour with lots of great sights, the bus will depart at the designated times and CANNOT wait or return for guests - please be at your chosen departure point AT LEAST 5 MINUTES beforehand to check-in with your guide.
The bus may be travelling a minute or so late, but 95% of the time it travels right on schedule, DON'T BE LATE!
PLEASE NOTE, due to road works/road closures, the departure point locations/addresses may change at short notice, so please check this page again a few days before you go on tour to make sure the departure points are at the same locations.
Cash - Please bring enough cash for a full day out around Scotland. For food and drinks; optional attraction entrances, any gifts you wish to buy etc., we recommend a minimum of around ￡30 per person.
A camera - in case you catch a glimpse of Nessie!
Wet weather clothing and comfortable footwear
At the end of your tour, if you feel your driver/guide has added to your experience, feel free to tip them whatever you feel their performance has been worth to you. Tips are not expected, but are of course accepted!
