Edinburgh Tours & Holidays

Edinburgh will show you how to have a good time, the Scottish way

Edinburgh is easily one of the UK’s most beautiful cities. But beneath the enchanting medieval wynds and buildings in Old Town lies a fascinating history and stories waiting to be told. Our Edinburgh tours are a perfect mix of adventure, history and culture. Follow your local guide as you step back in time at Edinburgh Castle, climb the rolling hills of Arthur’s Seat for incredible city views, and have a dram of whisky (or two) in centuries-old pubs. Continue your adventure in the Highlands or the Orkney Islands to fall even deeper under Scotland’s spell.

My second Intrepid trip. I mostly signed on for this one for nature and scenery vs. history, but enjoyed that both were included. I also appreciated a bit of time in the cities, but I booked extra days separately at either end to actually see Glasgow and Edinburgh for myself (I'd consider this a must-do for anyone traveling to Scotland for the first time). Our tour leader, Lara, was excellent, and extremely adept at dealing with some of the impromptu scheduling difficulties due to our itinerary operating at a different schedule than the typical one (read: different starting day of the week = some train/taxi issues). She also gave us our space, and we did indeed have many free afternoons and evenings as the itinerary suggests. I like not being hand-held through every single element of every day-- the balance of scheduled activities and free time was very nice. Also- please pack rain gear. Why would you not pack rain gear for Scotland? It's going to rain.

Best of England, Wales and Scotland

Fran · Traveled July 2024
A great trip that covers a lot of must see locations. Given it is rated as an ‘original’ tour, we were pleasantly surprised by the standard of accommodation included. Given we are both in our 60’s and this being our first ever organised tour, we did find it a little too long and hectic. But well worth it nonetheless! We now know where we would love to visit again sometime in the future.
