Itinerario

We leave Edinburgh and head towards a hidden gem beyond the city's hustle and bustle. Your driver-guide will take you to Roslin, a picturesque village in Midlothian surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Nestled in the serene village of Roslin is the famous Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by Dan Brown's book, The Da Vinci Code. With its intricate stone carvings and stunning stained glass, this 15th-century chapel captivates all who visit. From pagan symbols to legends of the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail, the chapel sparks the imagination of everyone who walks through its doors. You can explore the chapel to uncover its mysteries or wander through the lush woodlands of nearby Rosslyn Glen.

Next, we explore the scenic Scottish Borders, following the Tweed Valley, surrounded by rolling hills, ancient abbeys, and quaint villages. While the area may seem tranquil today, it has a rich history marked by conflicts and skirmishes.

We stop for lunch in Melrose, where you can visit the 12th-century Melrose Abbey, linked to the Knights Templar and rumored to hold Robert the Bruce's heart, brought back from the Crusades. * Due to some works, a visit may be not possible.

Afterward, we'll explore the region, see the statue of Scottish patriot William Wallace, and visit Scott's View, a stunning landscape that inspired Sir Walter Scott, before returning to Edinburgh.

You return to Edinburgh at approximately 5.00pm.

FAQs:
Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
- The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
Is there parking close to the departure point?
- We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
When should I get to the departure point?
- Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
- If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
Can Itineraries change?
- Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
Can I pre-book a specific seat?
- Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
Are there toilets on the bus?
- Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
- We aim to accommodate everyone.
How much time do I get off the bus?
- We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
- We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
Do we need to bring our own lunch?
- You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
Should I tip the driver-guide?
- Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
What about travel insurance?
- We advise you take out travel insurance.
What is ABTOT?
- You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
