Itinerary
Day 1 London to Edinburgh
An early start today as we drive up through the beautiful English country side towards Scotland's historic capital, Edinburgh. On reaching Edinburgh we have time to check into our centrally located, 5 star hostel before our first night to enjoy the city’s vibrant nightlife and get to know our fellow travellers.
Day 2 Edinburgh
This morning is our half day sightseeing tour of Edinburgh with a local Scottish Blue Badge guide. Afterwards there is free time to visit some of these sights you have viewed or you might even want to visit some of the performances of the famous Fringe Festival. Tonight we make our way to Edinburgh Castle for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo performance, a world famous spectacle culminating in a spectacular fireworks display. (B)
Day 3 Edinburgh
Today is a free day for you to explore more of Edinburgh, or perhaps join our optional half day trip to the breathtaking Stirling Castle. Tonight is our last chance to sample the vibrant nightlife of Edinburgh - why not join our optional pub crawl this evening for our final night together? (B)
Day 4 Edinburgh to London
All good things must come to an end, and so must our trip. Heading south we return to London, where our trip finishes in the early evening, and we say our fond farewells to our Topdeck crew and travelling companions! (B)
