Itinerary

Day 1

DAY ONE:
Day one:
We travel north to arrive in Scotland's capital, Edinburgh by 11.15 am. The normal journey time from London is just under 5 hours, which means you can have breakfast in England and Lunch in Scotland!

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 2

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.

If you are taking our Edinburgh "Free & Easy" option (tour A), you will have the day free to explore Edinburgh independently. Your Edinburgh guide is full of knowledge on the city and will be happy to give you lots of information so you can make the most of the day.

Day 3

DAY THREE:
A full day to enjoy Edinburgh's city sites, before we take our train back to London at 5pm.
After an early breakfast, we sadly have to say goodbye and travel back to England.
Our train passes past some wonderful coastal scenery so if you are quick enough you may get some good photos of the the journey home. We arrive back in London and Cambridge by mid-afternoon.

Travel
Travel to Edinburgh by comfortable high-speed train from London and Peterbourgh. The journey time from London is just under 5 hours and from Peterborough just over 4 hours. This compares to approximately 10-12 hours if you travelled the same journey by road and the city centre to city centre time is also slightly faster than travelling by air!


Your guided tour of Edinburgh and hotel transfers are by luxury coach for maximum convenience and comfort!

If you are taking tour B to Loch Ness and The Scottish Highlands - which is highly recommended, you will also be travelling on a modern luxury coach with a very knowledgeable driver/guide. We promise, you will return home with fantastic memories!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
