OVERVIEW

Enjoy the freedom to explore Scotland’s capital city at your own pace with a convenient round trip transfer from the port. Travel by comfortable motor coach from South Queensferry to central Edinburgh, where you’ll be dropped off near the historic Royal Mile. From there, the city is yours to discover. With nearly five hours of free time, you may choose to stroll through the Old Town’s winding streets, admire historic landmarks, browse charming shops, or relax in a café or pub. A tour escort will accompany the group to and from the city and will be happy to answer questions or offer general guidance. At the designated time, rejoin the motor coach at the same central location for the return drive to the port.
