Day 1:
We travel north to arrive in Scotland's capital, Edinburgh by 11.15
am. The normal journey time from London is just under 5 hours,
which means you can have breakfast in England and Lunch in
Scotland!
On arrival in Edinburgh we will take a guided tour of the city
with our local Scottish guide before checking into the hotel.
You may wish to join us for drinks and a meal in restaurant
close to your hotel - we promise you will enjoy our evenings just
as much as the sightseeing! Coming away on a tour like this is also
a great way of meeting people from all over the world.
Day 2:
If you are travelling on our tour into the Scottish Highlands and
Loch Ness (tour B), prepare to see some amazing scenery. The
landscape is rugged, wild and very different to other parts of
Britain - it's simply breathtaking. The tour leaves from the hotel
at 8am and arrives back at 7.30pm. Please note that we only have a
limited number of places on this tour and you should inform us at
the time of booking if you would like to join.
If you are taking our Edinburgh "Free & Easy" option (tour
A), you will have the day free to explore Edinburgh independently.
Your Edinburgh guide is full of knowledge on the city and will be
happy to give you lots of information so you can make the most of
the day.
Day 3:
After an early breakfast, we sadly have to say goodbye and travel
back to England.
Our train passes past some wonderful coastal scenery so if you are
quick enough you may get some good photos of the the journey home.
