Description

Set off early from London and journey north by train to the enchanting city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Your adventure begins at King’s Cross Station, where you’ll board a comfortable train for a scenic ride through the British countryside, arriving in Edinburgh by late morning.

Upon arrival, explore Edinburgh at your own pace with a hop-on hop-off open-top bus tour. Discover iconic landmarks along the Royal Mile, admire the historic Palace of Holyroodhouse, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of Scotland’s capital. The bus tour allows you to easily access all the city’s must-see sights.

A highlight of your day is included entry to Edinburgh Castle, perched atop Castle Rock. Step inside to view the dazzling Scottish Crown Jewels and enjoy sweeping panoramic views over the city’s skyline. Take your time to wander the castle’s ancient halls and learn about its storied past.

Enjoy free time for shopping or sampling local cuisine before your return journey. If you choose to travel first class, relax with food and refreshments served at your seat. After a memorable day, your reserved train whisks you back to London, arriving in the evening.

This tour includes round-trip train tickets, assistance at the station, a city map, and all tickets for sightseeing. Don’t miss your chance to experience the best of Edinburgh in a single day—check availability and book your spot now!
