How much luggage
can I bring?
Luggage space on the tour is restricted so the amount of
luggage that you can bring is limited to 1 bag per person that weights no more
than 15kg and has maximum dimensions of 55 x 40 x 20cm. Luggage larger than
this will only be carried if space is available.
What meals are
included?
A full Scottish breakfast is included from day 2 onwards.
This hearty meal consists of fruit juice; a choice of cereal; bakery basket;
cooked items such as eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomato and, maybe, a
taste of haggis! plus tea or coffee. Vegetarian and lighter Continental options
are always available. Lunch and dinner are not included in the price. During
the touring day there will be a stop where you can enjoy lunch in a local pub
or restaurant. Your driver/guide will be happy to suggest a conveniently
located restaurant where you can enjoy good food for dinner.
What kind of accommodation
do you use?
We offer lodgings that have been specially selected to
enhance your touring experience. You can choose between Guesthouse/B&B or
Hotel accommodation:
Guesthouse and
B&B
The guesthouses and B&B’s are family run and offer comfortable
accommodation in bedrooms that have en-suite bathrooms, tv, tea/coffee making
facilities and other facilities. Bedding, towels and basic toiletries are
provided. Some guesthouses and B&B’s offer enhanced facilities such as a
resident’s lounge where you can relax with other guests.
Hotel
We select comfortable and characterful inns and hotels.
Generally they are a minimum of 3 stars with bedrooms featuring en-suite
bathrooms, television, tea and coffee making facilities and other amenities.
All our hotels have comfortable lounges where you can enjoy morning coffee.
Most have restaurants offering a selection of Scottish and international dishes.
Many have lively bars where you can relax and re-live the days experiences with
your fellow passengers.
Accommodation is spread throughout the communities that
we stay in. Hotels are normally centrally located and the guesthouses/B&B’s
seldom more than a 10/15 minute walk from the town or village centre. The coach
will drop you off at or close to your accommodation each night and will pick
you up in the morning, after breakfast.
What type of room
should I choose?
Selecting the right sleeping arrangements can be a little
bit confusing so here is a description of what you can expect whether you
choose guesthouse/B&B or hotel accommodation:
Single room - this is a room for one person sleeping in a single bed.
Twin room - this is a room for two people sleeping in two
separate beds
Double room - this is a room for two people sharing one
large bed
Family room - this
is a room for three people sleeping in one large bed (2 people) and one single
bed (1 person).
You should note that a family room (particularly when
using hotel accommodation) can be a standard double room with either a sofa bed
or a rollaway bed.
All our accommodation, whether you choose Guest House/B&B or Hotel,
features en-suite facilities (the toilet and shower are located in your bedroom
for your exclusive use.
How many people
will be in the group?
The group size is normally between 16 and 29 passengers.
At times of peak demand (such as on public holidays) larger coaches may be
used.
Can I join the tour in Edinburgh and leave in Glasgow?

great way of travelling between our two great cities. The tour is scheduled to

midi touring coach which is equipped with air-conditioning, comfortable
reclining seats, large picture windows and seat belts.
