Great first trip with G Adventures. We had a really good group and Phil did a great job running interference for us. In the end, any challenges during the trip will just become part of a good story!

I didn't know what to expect, all I can say is was fantastic. Luke & Craig were exceptional they couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Luke is the best tour leader we've ever had. His knowledge about history & places were amazing. Craig's driving was exceptional & his thoughtfulness was over & above. They work SOOOOOOOO WELL together. Thank you XPat for placing them as our tour leader & driver.

A perfect wee taster of Scotland - this tour mixes up the world’s largest horse sculptures “The Kelpies”, the seriously stunning beauty of Loch Lomond (the biggest loch or lake in the whole of Britain and inspiration to poets and painters) and The Trossachs National Park with the savage history of Stirling Castle where kings were murdered, and rebellions started. If you're after a Kelpies tour from Edinburgh that also crams in lochs, legends, and a good bit of chaos from Scotland’s past – you’re in the right place.
This magical Alnwick Castle tour takes you from Edinburgh to the Anglo-Scottish border to learn about the bloody battles that raged. We’ll visit the picture-perfect seaside village of Bamburgh where you can head to the beach for some shenanigans and get the chance to visit mighty Bamburgh Castle which dates back to the 5th century. But more importantly, we’re going to Hogwarts! Harry Potter fans rejoice - we’re off to the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Along with a rich history and magnificent splendour, Alnwick Castle also starred in Downton Abbey.
Whisky divides people. You either love its fiery warmth or detest its full-on flavour. Either way, there’s a reason why it’s Scotland’s national drink and our biggest export.
Whether you fall head over heels for our finest dram or banish it to the back of the drinks cabinet, at least you can say you’ve tried it on Scottish soil on a whisky tour from Edinburgh and seen a little of our sexy country along the way – think impressive waterfalls, a mythical glen, ancient woodlands, and a charming Highland village.
Pack your essentials and travel back to the 18th century on an Outlander-themed tour from Edinburgh to charming villages and iconic historic attractions: a dream day out for any Outlander fan!
We can’t guarantee any time travel through standing stones, but your guide will immerse you in real-life tales from the past which inspired Diana Gabaldon’s world-famous books. When you experience these stunning locations, you’ll understand why they were chosen to feature in the hit TV series.
A splendid introduction to Scotland. This tour fuses the remarkable beauty of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park with the majestic sight of the Kelpies and the savage history of Stirling Castle. On this trip there is plenty of time to examine amazing architecture and ponder over breath-taking natural and man-made wonders while immersing yourself in myths, legends, and stories.
Scotland's natural beauty and its historical legacy were the highlight of the trip. Many photos of the countryside were taken and will be used in creating original paintings. I appreciated as well the many occasions we had to hear history from the point of view of the Scots. An excellent balance between nature and human knowledge.
