On arrival in Edinburgh we will take a guided tour of the city with our local Scottish guide before checking into our accommodation.
You may wish to join us for some casual drinks close to your hotel in the evening - 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 Two:
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.
