Tour A - 3 Day Break in Edinburgh (2 Nights) With Hotel Accommodation £159
Tour B - As tour A with full day tour of Scottish Highlands including Loch Ness £189


This short break tour gives you the chance to see Scotland's capital and even the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness - all in a weekend. Edinburgh is less than 5 hours away by high speed train from London's Kings Cross station.

There are two choices of itinerary. On the second of the three days you can either choose to take a tour of the Scottish Highlands including Loch Ness or you can choose to just spend your time in Edinburgh, freestyle doing what you want to do.


Train to Scotland
DAY 1
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 the hotel.

You may wish to join us for some causal 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
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.


Loch Ness
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
8.00 am Depart hotel for return journey back to England
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 by mid-afternoon.

Travel
