Best of Edinburgh

Enjoy the top sights of Edinburgh on this city break. You'll also travel to the famous Scottish Highlands to get a taste of the countryside. Accommodation and activities included.

Get the best of both worlds with a multi-day tour of Scotland. On this 5-day trip, you’ll stay in Edinburgh and take part in a guided day tour with an expert, local guide. 

DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN EDINBURGH

Upon your arrival in Edinburgh, make your way to your hotel in the city centre. If you arrive early in the day, we recommend spending the afternoon walking through the city, strolling along the grand streets of the New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

DAY 2: SECRETS OF THE ROYAL MILE & EDINBURGH CASTLE

You have the morning to explore Edinburgh as you wish. This afternoon, you'll join a guided walking tour of the Old Town, learning how people used to live. Then you'll skip the line to visit Edinburgh Castle.

Included: Walking tour and Edinburgh Castle entrance

DAY 3: LOCH NESS, GLEN COE & THE HIGHLANDS

Today, you join a small group tour into the Highlands to see the beauty of Scotland's countryside. Your local guide will tell you stories on the way to Loch Ness, Glen Coe and the Cairngorms National Park.

Included: Guided bus tour to the Highlands and Loch Ness cruise

DAY 4: EDINBURGH AT YOUR LEISURE

You have another day to explore Edinburgh and visit landmarks and attractions that interest you. You could walk up Arthur's Seat, visit the Royal Britannia ship, try a whisky experience or book another optional day tour.

DAY 5: DEPARTURE FROM SCOTLAND

Today you say goodbye to Scotland. If your flight is in the afternoon, you may take your last few hours to do some last-minute shopping, visit one of Edinburgh’s many museums, or take one last stroll through the charming city centre.
