Highlights: Return Rail Tickets with Reserved Seating * Open top tour of Edinburgh * Entrance to Edinburgh Castle * A Free Map and Information Guide
The train from London's King Cross Station arrives at the Royal City of Edinburgh at around 11.30.
Right by the station you board the open-top sightseeing bus where you'll get a bird's-eye view of this majestic city! The hop-on hop-off ticket allows you the freedom to leave and re-join the bus as often as you like.
You will see the Old Town quarter, the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, the gloriously intricate Scott Monument, the Palace of Holyrood House and the brand new Scottish Parliament building. You might want to wander through the cobbled city centre streets or stroll along Princes Street checking out the tartan, whisky and shortbreads that have made Scotland famous!
Your tour includes tickets to Edinburgh Castle.
We reboard our late afternoon train back to London arriving at Kings Cross Station at approximately 22.15hrs.
Please note, this tour is unescorted.
Departs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday (6.30 AM from Kings Cross Station)
![Edinburgh Castle is an ancient stronghold which dominates the sky-line of the city of Edinburgh from its position atop Castle Rock. It is Scotland's second-most-visited tourist attraction.[1] Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC. As it stands today though, few of the castle's structures pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, with the notable exception of St Margaret's Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, which dates from the early 12th century.](images/st-giles-cathedral-small.jpg)
