Day trip from Edinburgh to Alnwick Castle, Rosslyn Chapel and more.

What a lovely trip with our guide, Derek who shared his knowledge and enthusiasm throughout the day. The bus was super comfortable, we got to know our fellow passengers (total 7) enjoyed all the information and Irish music. We could have stayed twice as long at Alnwick and Rosslyn. Enough stops on the way and thank you for accommodating an extra bathroom stop.

A wonderful day trip

Rayos d, Jun 2026

Aila was a wonderful guide. There were only five of us in a van, so it felt more like a personal excursion rather than an impersonal tour group. Not enough time at Rosslyn, despite local onsite guide. You might want to research ahead of time to focus on what you want to look for in the elaborate carvings. Alnwick was a total treat, best castle to visit, I’m told. I went o the local tour about various film locations in the castle esp Harry Potter. Lunch break there ok but not the best. Consider bringing a lunch so you have more time to explore. I will definitely be traveling with Scotland’s Wild again.

Excellent!

Our guide Pete was wonderful, enthusiastic, and friendly. He had great information to share during the trip and made us feel comfortable the entirety of the tour. He gave us recommendations for restaurants and bars in Edinburgh and did not hesitate to help us when needed. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Great small group tour stopping in areas the big buses can’t access.

Great small group tour stopping in areas the big buses can’t access. Pete was a wonderful guide to our group, providing insight and just enough conversation to keep the travel time short. The stops were great, it was nice to get out of the city and see the wonderful landscape and pieces of history.
