Military Tatoo

[kpks40]

We will be sailing in August 2016, bound for the British Isles. Looking for recommendations of tour companies/guides for day tour from Greenock and drop/off and pick/up for the Military Tatoo performance. Timberbush and Great Scott Tours not available for the date we need.

We did same in 05' and it was fabulous. We used the Princess tour from the Golden. I remember a long walk from the coach to the seating area which was cramped; much like high school football stadium seating. But it was well worth it. Enjoy.

I was sick in 2003 and had to stay on the ship. Pete went without me via the Princess coach from Greenock and had a wonderful if not entirely sober day at the Fringe Festival.

Sis and I were on this cruise last August. I messed up and was too late to get reservations for the Princess excursion. We got good recommendations from Shogun, among others, for other tours.

 

What we ended up doing was taking the train from Greenock to Edinburgh which was super easy. We had pre-arranged a private car to pick us up and take us back to the ship. He was right where he said he would be after the show (we scoped it out before the show so we would know where it was), he was on time and he got us back to the ship about 15 minutes before the buses even with a stop to use the restroom.

 

This may not work for you, but is certainly an option. And the whole thing cost less than the excursion would have.

 

FYI: while at the show we ran into some people from the ship and they told us the tour they were on (not Princess) told them they had to leave the show early or miss their bus. Can't remember the name of the tour company, but I would be sure and ask before you make plans if they will wait for you until the show is over.

 

By the way, the show was awesome!

Hi Shogun

We are going on the Celebrity Silhouette in August. We were told they are already sold out for the excursion to the Tattoo.

Is it very difficult to find transportation to and from the place where the ship has tenders? Would you suggest booking a tour for the day or just using a car transport service? If so which one? We know the tickets will be on sale December 1.

Thanks so much

Marilyn

Hi

If you try some of the companies on earlier post they will give you an all day tour with tattoo some used to include tattoo tickets,

 

Another company to try is timberbush tours

 

Getting to tattoo is not a problem it's getting back as 1000s all want a taxi at the same time,

 

If no luck e mail me at mydogshogun @ yahoo . Co . Uk

Thank you Shogun

We will look into the tours. If that doesn't work out, I might be emailing you for some local car or taxi suggestions.
