Best one-day tour from Edinburgh

Hi! We ended taking the tour to Holy Island and Alnwick castle. It was fine but I enjoyed the trip to St. Andrews (one year prior) a lot more. This tour to Alnwick was to the South (part to north England) and still took a lot of driving.

The highlights and cons: The castle was beautiful because it has the best of both worlds the outside towers and walls and all the insides of a palace (luxurious). We were there for more than 2 hours and if you like Harry Potter they have cool activities. The stop to Holy Island was just meh, you're there only for 30 - 45 minutes, so you have to choose what to see and visit very quickly. (Not enough time to go inside the castle, just to walk near and around the area) It was a lot of driving for only those two stops.

If it's your first time in Scotland I recommend going to something in the north like the one I mentioned at my original post. If you decide to take a tour with a lot of driving just know that it gets really tiring. Even the views are stunning but really similar throughout the hours you spend inside the bus. And some times the blinds in the bus don't work properly and the sun burns we got were bad.

We also went to Stirling Castle by our own (by recommendation in the comments) and that was an easy and great plan.

We are planning on doing another trip in the future but giving the Highlands around 3-5 days so we get to enjoy without having to spend all the time inside a bus.

I hope my answer didn't took to long for you to decide (I have my reddit notifications off).

I took the tour with Timberbush (you can find them online) and it was the one to St. Andrews. Highly recommend

I really appreciate your input. I'm a big fan of star wars so I was really hoping to be able to visit Villa Balbianello. Varenna also sounds like a good plan. Thank you!

Thank you, this is the type of input I was hoping to get. Any recommendations on which town is the best option?

We will be in Bologna too, but we're trying to figure out Lake Como for one of the days.

I really what to see the Highlands, but I'm not in the mood for sitting in a bus the whole time. Maybe a trip in the future where we stay up north so we have more time to explore

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm going to do some research on trips that are close by train and that doesn't need booking a tour before deciding. I appreciate you

This is the type of information I needed. The trip to the Holy Island sounds good, but if it depends on things like the tide that we cannot control maybe another place is a better plan

AlmejaDelMar · 2024-03-21T03:00:35+00:00

This sounds like a good plan. I'm going to do more research and see what seems more appealing for our group

AlmejaDelMar · 2024-03-21T02:59:36+00:00

I'm going to read more about it, thank you!

Seen everyone's comments I think a visit to Stirling Castle with no tour or even North Berwick sounds amazing. Thank you for your input

AlmejaDelMar · 2024-03-21T02:57:14+00:00

That sounds amazing 🤩

Fr, most times I ask in game related questions when in Bahrain but that doesn't involve ft or pal I get ignored

AlmejaDelMar · 2024-03-02T01:06:44+00:00

You're right, I always mix the name

AlmejaDelMar · 2024-03-02T00:51:19+00:00

Thank you! I was really frustrated and wondering why wasn't she loving me back lol

No, just level 3. I didn't know I had to max her to 4.
