Overview

Edinburgh is a city full of mystery and and intrigue, eight hours will fly by as your hear about grave robbers and the famous dog that lay by his master grave for many years. We will visit the extinct volcano in the heart of the city that some say could be King Arthur’s Camelot! We can have a dram or two at Edinburgh’s newest whisky distillery and you visit some of the most breathtaking scenery you have ever scene.

You will the inspirations for Harry Potter and the filming locations used in Outlander!

If your feeling brave enough we will try the infamous haggis or there is the vegan option.

We drive around Edinburgh in a luxury eight seater vehicle that can seat up to a maximum of seven passengers comfortably. This vehicle is only used for tours and is immcaulate inside and out.

A warm welcome and I look forward to meeting you soon!
