Day 1 - Edinburgh
Your train from London's King's Cross Station whizzes you due North skirting England's East coast to arrive at the Royal City of Edinburgh. Right by the station you can board your open top sightseeing bus where you'll get a bird's eye view of the city! Your hop-on hop-off ticket allows you the freedom to leave and re-join the bus as often as you like over a 24 hour period - frequent departures throughout the day mean you have total flexibility to plan your day the way YOU choose!
You will see all the main sights, attractions and landmarks of this lovely City, including the Old Town quarter, the gloriously intricate Scott Monument, the Palace of Holyrood House where state ceremonies and official entertaining take place when the Queen is in Scotland and the brand new Scottish Parliament Building. Your tour includes tickets to Edinburgh Castle where you can live like a King for a day! The Royal apartments include a tiny room in which Mary, Queen of Scots gave birth to the boy who was to become King of Scotland and England upon the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603. The dazzling Scottish Crown Jewels are also on view.
