Flying Experiences in Scotland

In Scotland you can take part in a helicopter experience that involves a flying lesson and tour of the hangers as well as lunch. This four-hour experience would be ideal for someone dreaming of becoming a helicopter pilot one day. Alternatively you could experience the thrill of a short 15-minute ride in a luxurious helicopter over stunning Scottish scenery.

If you would prefer to fly a fixed wing aircraft over the Highlands and Islands of Scotland then you could choose a 60-minute introductory flying lesson. Take the controls of a small aircraft while being supervised by an experienced expert and learn some basic flying skills. Alternatively, why not take a flight with an experienced instructor on a microlight. This highly maneuverable craft can add a different dimension to your flight over Scotland.

Taking a hot air balloon ride over beautiful Scotland would be another way of experiencing this country's tranquility at a slower pace. While floating over the lochs and glens enjoy a glass of bubbly high in the sky. The 360-degree visibility will certainly enhance the overall flying experience that you could appreciate together with another special person.

Best afternoon tea ever

I received the voucher as a gift and shared the experience with a friend as a joint birthday treat. We have had a few afternoon teas in our time but we both agreed this was the best-quality afternoon tea ever. We had a large pot of tea each, so that didn’t run out. The portion sizes were decent, not tiddly, and the quality of every item was outstanding. Best of all were the sausage rolls (I wish they sold them to take home!) and a chocolate cheesecake to die for! We couldn’t finish everything but were promptly provided with take-home boxes so we could enjoy the rest at home. The setting was beautiful and the waitress was attentive, cheerful and courteous. I’ll be looking for an excuse to go back, and wholeheartedly recommend it.

Beautiful Day Out

We decided to treat ourselves to a beautiful day out at Kew Gardens and finish it off with a lovely meal at Palmyra. The food was good, lovely to try new cuisine, and it didn't disappoint. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend

Exemplary response to a problem.

We haven’t had our Red Bus Afternoon Tea just yet….this review is to celebrate the way in which Kenny and his team dealt with a problem with our booking. I made a complaint about service and the response was prompt, kind, generous and thoroughly professional. Based on our experience I would recommend this company to anyone, everyone, for integrity and customer care.
