Join Plan it Travel on our journey to ancient Edinburgh. We will be guided on a private tour of the city, walk through the halls of Kings and Queens, learn the art of whisky making, and explore the scenic regions of the area. Your Tour Manager will be with you every step of the way. At Plan it Travel, we are dedicated to making your vacation one you will never forget.
With several planned and included activities each day, we built in some alone time. But of course, your Tour Manager will help you navigate your spare time, ask! Because Edinburgh is built on top of the first city and an ancient volcano, there are uneven roads, sidewalks, and many stairs to climb. The landscape can be tricky for those with uneven gait or mobility issues. On this tour, we will be walking at a moderate pace, up to 4 miles per day. Please keep this in mind when booking.
We look forward to having you on our Tour. Edinburgh is a special place. We can't wait to immerse you in the culture, history, and cuisine. Let's go to EDINBURGH!
