  • Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - You have the option to experience a bit of serenity in the city with a visit to the Botanical Gardens
  • Dean Village - This millers town on the edge of the Water of Leith is like it’s own forgotten village.
  • Leith - Wander the old harbour town of Leith or stop for a quick refreshment in one of it’s many traditional bars
  • Duddingston Kirk - This time capsule of a village is home to the lovely Duddingston Kirk along with Dr Neil’s Ornamental Garden and of course, Scotlands oldest pub, The Sheep Heid Inn reported to have been here since 1360 where we can stop for lunch and play some ancient 10 pin bowling.
  • Arthur’s Seat - This volcanic mountain can be seen from every part of Edinburgh and if possible we will venture, almost to the top, via Queens Drive for some fantastic views of the surrounding area.
  • South Queensferry - This lovely village on the banks of the Forth River has been trapped in time so wander the lovely cobbled streets and grab some awe inspiring views of the iconic Forth Rail and Road bridges and our shiny new Queensferry Crossing

Excellent Time - We had the most amazing time! We went at our own pace, packed in so many sites and ate at a great old spot. Keith was so nice, informative, and welcoming to any of our needs. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Great Company! - We booked the 1/2 day Edinburgh tour. My mom (age 95) did not want to do a full day tour. Sean was a wonderful guide. We ended up going to St. Andrews after Sean found out my sister is a big golfer. What a great day and the company was very easy to work with. Thanks for a memorable tour.
