We had a great tour director and bus driver! Both were full of knowledge and tips and so organized! Really appreciated that quality. Nice touch with “local” treats!! The locals are so welcoming and friendly. Loved the “Be my Guest” experiences. Enjoyed the titanic venture, Belfast , isle of skye, the giant causeway and option to walk the trails, being so close to nature! Accommodations and meals were good! Would definitely travel Trafalger again.

This was our 20th trip with Trafalgar and while we have enjoyed every one, this one was special. The scenery was magnificent, the people were lovely, our TD Damian and our driver Jason were exceptional. Every place we visited exceeded our expectations. Now on to number 21!

It includes something for everyone. I think there was only one day that required a little too much time on the coach. From golf history to clan history, I think there was little left out. Stephanie was very knowledgeable of history and I learned so much about my roots. She was very entertaining. Our driver, Davie, showed tremendous skill in some very tight spots. The banter between Stephanie and Davie made me feel as though they had been doing this together for a long time, although this was their first trip together. A very memorable journey.

It was a very nice itinerary. First class hotels. My favorite was Edinburgh and the cute boutique hotel in the Highlands. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Recommendation: It would be nice to have a wee bit more shopping and lunch time. I did feel rushed and had to make a choice of shopping or lunch during our free time between stops!

You will pack a lot of sightseeing i to this 15 day trip and experience the history and charm of three countries. Expert tour director and coach drivers make this a worry free trip.

Edinburgh - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Tour Highlights

  • A half-day tour to Edinburgh Castle is worth the entrance fee. See the crown jewels, get a glorious view of Edinburgh from up on the hill and learn about the historical tapestry of Edinburgh.
  • Be a tourist and walk the Royal Mile from the royal castle to the royal palace.
  • Edinburgh is home to many historical ghosts. Take a ghost tour and learn a thing or two about Edinburgh’s history while giving yourself a spook.
  • If you are in Edinburgh for New Year’s, it’s essential to celebrate the Scottish way with Hogmanay. Thousands tour to Edinburgh every New Years for the legendary festivities.
  • Hike up to Arthur’s Seat at magic hour for a breathtaking view of the city and a breath of fresh air.
  • During a summer, there are countless festivals to get involved with the comedic Fringe festival being the most famous.
  • The National Gallery is free and has some great work by Monet, Rembrandt and more.
  • Edinburgh Zoo is big on conservation and has helped save multiple endangered species.

Travel Tips

  • The best way to save money on transport and admire the beauty of Edinburgh is to walk!
  • Food and drink prices on the Royal Mile are higher than elsewhere in the city.
  • Parks, gardens, museums and galleries are mostly free in Edinburgh.
  • Edinburgh stays fairly cool year-round. You can always expect some wind and rain in Scotland but the winters are freezing. Pack lots of layers.
  • Many of Edinburgh’s restaurants offer set menus and drinks for as little as £20 per person.
  • Hotels away from the city center are much more cost-friendly than those on the Royal Mile, for example.
