Itinerario

Leaving Glasgow, we journey through the tranquil countryside to visit the striking Kelpies Monument. Named after the legendary shape-shifting creatures that often appear as horses and lure people to a watery fate, these giant sculptures have a different tribute in mind. Created by artist Andy Scott, the Kelpies are modeled after two Clydesdale horses, Duke and Baron, symbolizing the important role of heavy horses in shaping the Falkirk region's history.

Next, enjoy a scenic drive through the rolling countryside of the Kingdom of Fife to reach Falkland. Dominating this historic village is Falkland Palace, once a principal residence of Scotland's royal family. Beyond the palace, Falkland itself is one of Scotland's most beautiful villages, with charming old cottages and narrow, winding streets. Notably, this place was also chosen to represent 1940s Inverness in the popular TV series Outlander. Explore Falkland Palace and visit the world's oldest tennis court, where Mary, Queen of Scots, once played. Or stroll through the streets lined with ivy-clad houses, seeking out familiar Outlander filming locations.

Next is the highlight of the day: the medieval town of St Andrews. St Andrew is the patron Saint of Scotland, and according to legend, his remains were washed up on the Fife coast. St Andrews is also home to the third oldest university in Britain, an ancient golf course, and a beautiful, ruined castle perched on a cliff. We stop here for lunch, so you can decide how to spend your time. You might try local specialties like ice cream at Jannetta's Gelateria. You can also visit the iconic Old Course, explore the ancient ruins, or stroll along the beach. Departing from St Andrews, we begin our journey to Glasgow, traveling through the scenic landscapes of Fife.

As we approach the Queensferry Crossing, we're treated to stunning views of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Crossing over the Firth of Forth marks the last leg of our journey westward, as we head return to the vibrant city of Glasgow.

You return to Glasgow at approximately 6.30pm.

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.
