Exploring Britain and Ireland featuring England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales

An overnight flight transports you to stunning landscapes, lively cities, and stirring history.

Arrive in Edinburgh, the historic capital of Scotland, where rocky hills tower in the distance and the shadows of history can be seen around every corner. With no planned activities today, settle in to discover Scotland's capital and see how medieval crossroads blend seamlessly with a vibrant modern energy. This evening, delve into Scottish culture with a whisky experience and dinner highlighting the flavors of Scotland, and meet your fellow travelers.

Today get acquainted with Scotland’s regal capital on a locally guided city tour exploring both the Old and New Towns. Explore the Royal Mile on foot and walk up the hill to Edinburgh Castle, home of the Scottish Crown Jewels. This afternoon is yours to further explore independently. Tonight, consider an optional excursion including dinner to Rosslyn Chapel, one of Edinburgh’s most remarkable medieval buildings – an after-hours private tour will take you deep into this well-known setting from The Da Vinci Code.

Depart Edinburgh, traveling through the picturesque countryside of Northumberland by motor coach. Visit a family farm situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, where sustainability and innovation are core to their business. Later on this evening, arrive in York, with its medieval city walls and snickelways.
