Edinburgh Tours in November 2025

Blue-Roads Tour - Highlights of Britain BHBLE4 – 13 to 23-October 2024 Great tour from start to finish. Our tour commenced with welcome dinner at the Wellington Hotel by Blue Orchid in London. Our tour guide Peter welcomed us all. We then had the opportunity to introduce ourselves. We met Steve, our bus driver, the next morning. We were encouraged to move to different seats in the bus which everyone was agreeable and did so each day. Even though the route/destination had been planned, Peter and Steve were open to suggestions to detour if the locations were not too far off track. There were some surprise locations which added to the tour. However, we did need to detour due to unseasonal roadway flooding. Peter is an exceptional tour guide who has a wealth of knowledge and was able to provide insight into many historical facts on the way. At our destinations Peter provided suggestions on the best places to get your lunch/snacks, café or pub. There were regular stops. Steve is also to be highly commended on his driving skills in manoeuvring the bus in very tight country roads. Overall, the accommodation and food were as described. Some places cosier than others. Our evening entertaining game of skittles at Mickleton and trivia evening at The Mulberry Inn Llangollen were great fun nights. Our fellow passengers were great and the whole tour from Day 1 to 11 was fantastic. Highly recommend Blue-Roads Highlights of Britain small group tour.

Needed more time in Glasgow and Edinburgh. One more day in each would have been geat. Another hour at isle of skye would have been nice. Bus driver excellent

Our tour director was amazing. She explained everything we needed to know before every town and gave us so much history while on the bus. We loved all the architecture of each place and the accents and how it changed from place to place.

So many sights and so much history. The tour was amazing and the size of the group was perfect. Our friendly tour guide and bus driver were absolutely brilliant. Loved it so much I've already recommended it to others.

Air travel was terrible. Too crowded. At my age, London was difficult to maneuver. Thank goodness for our catholic Charities group leaders and some of my fellow travelers. Our tour director was awesome. He had definitely prepared for this tour. And, our bus driver was very skilled and so much fun to be on our tour with as well. I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. The food was excellent. I signed up for the extra offerings and was not disappointed. Some of the hotels were not the cleanest. ( City Hotel ) comes to mind. Loved Scotland….it was so beautiful.

We enjoyed the tour. It was a great time and like the fact that he had two days some places and free time to explore. The tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable about the history of England. The bus driver was fantastic as he navigated the roads. We would indeed do another back roads tour.
