On top of that, there's a fantastic write-up here about optimal routes for the tour.
I heard someone recommend using the Risian cruiser with the DSD warp core for subspace fold.
I have those things.
I hear the Assimilated impulse engines are always recommended, one of my toons has it.
I think theyre are a few other ships with transwarp boost, cant think of what they are on the top of my head, the veteran destroyers and Odyssey varients are some right?
Whats the best ship? Warp engines? Sets?
If my toon is able to grant diplomatic immunity then do i benifit from it also?
I have the idea to run this perfectly on all toons to farm EC.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Oh, and the "Lead Foot" trait is great too (thank you, @anodynes!).
Risian Luxury Cruiser, with DSD warp core, Assimilated subwarp engines, Polaric Modulator console.
Ill boost the skill for warp drive like mentioned.
And i found a map on some lgbt fleet website on a route to take that looked good.
Thats all i really have that is recommended at this time.

so thats why my Temporal recruit can be 1m in slipstream, as he using Odyssey, so equip every toon with that ship just for tour of galaxy.
Tnx for info Itmins
I do have however the veteran destroyers and T6 Odysseys.
So out of those and the Risian Cruiser which is best for this?
I don't have the Vet Ships, but I have noticed that momentum does appear to be a thing in sector space, so the Destroyer would probably be better for less overshooting of your destination point.
Oh, and you asked earlier if having the ability to grant Diplomatic Immunity helps you with slipstream speed. It does not, sadly. You need to have somebody else cast it on you.
With The Solanae Warp Core, Polaric Modulator and Assimilated Engines all at just Mk XII, plus the Sector Speed unlock choice at 5 skill points spent in Science, a good route and perhaps a little practice, you should be able to finish the tour in the allotted time. That is if Lieutenant Ferra doesn't hail you with a commendation increase from the xp that you get doing it. This happens way too often on my newer alts that run this <grumbles>.
I have never tried Tour the Galaxy. Maybe I will give it a try after this Mirror Event is over.
Personally, I believe that all Tier 6 Faction Ships (C-Store) should be outfitted with Advanced Quantum Slipstream Drives.

Just to confirm about the skill points thing. Buy all three Admiral level warp skills, titled "warp core potential" "improved warp core potential" "warp core efficiency" and i get an unadvertised bonus of somesort. And also buy 5 points in science for an unlock for sector speed.
When you select 5 skill points in Science, which I would imagine everyone does, it unlocks one of the bonus choices at the bottom of the Space Skills window of either a reduction in Transwarp time, which there are a boatload of sources for already, or a sector space speed increase, which are less common. I'd advise anyone to take the speed increase, even if you never plan on doing the Tour.
As far as the Warp Core skills at Admiral, I hadn't heard of that aspect of them prior to this thread, but I usually grab those anyway to help with final power levels in categories that I set to minimum.

The question is where if anywhere are there applicable skills in the engineering category?
This is what I set up on anyone who's gonna tour the galaxy:
Vesta, with the "advanced chroniton slipstream" that comes from it's 2 piece bonus (or three, can't exactly remember. However, since you're not exactly "in combat", you don't need to worry about console distributions). I think it's the fastest and longest of all the slipstreams. Odyssey, Veteran Destroyers, etc. that have "advanced slipstream drives" are better but not quite as much.
Assimilated Impulse Engine and the newer Terran Warp Core both provide "Sector Space Speed Transwarp 14", which is the highest in the game and helps you when not slipstreaming. I haven't studied the other mods on that Terran Warp Core, so I don't know if it has the important...
Slipstream Recharge mod. That's the one that cuts your slipstream cooldown in half. As such, my Vesta's tooling along one minute in slipstream, one minute out. Slipstream speed boosts on the core are nifty, too.
Polaric Modulator (From Tom Paris & Delta Flight) - gives a massive bonus to Slipstream Turn Rate. Helped me beat the tour on my Vesta before the skill revamp.
Other Tips:
1. As soon as you've set course to the next stop on the route, hit "E" for speed up. This way, the "automatic deceleration" doesn't kick in and you just do a "drive by check-in", all that's necessary to get credit.
2. Keep map up most/all of the time. While it takes some getting used to the "feel" of the zones / map / etc., one can usually begin plotting to the next point before entering the system you're currently "gunning for" - for example, route I take ends in Beta Quadrant, as I'm coming up to Risa I'll jump the map and click on "Orion" and basically gun straight through the Risa system (getting credit) on my way to Orion, then half way between the two I'll be replotting a new course for Tennebia (and doing the drive by of Orion)... Because of the larger "shift" between Tennebia and Nimbus (last stop), I usually wait till I'm just outside the Tennebia system (or have drive-byed it with my speed trick) before setting course to Nimbus...
