Your adventure begins as you arrive in Edinburgh, where you’ll pick up your rental car for the next four days. After settling into your accommodation, start your journey with a tour of Edinburgh’s historic city center. Visit Edinburgh Castle, perched atop Castle Rock, and explore its fascinating exhibits, including the Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny. Wander down the Royal Mile, a vibrant street filled with shops, cafes, and historic landmarks, leading you to Holyrood Palace, the official residence of the monarch in Scotland. In the evening, enjoy dinner in one of the city’s traditional Scottish pubs or try some modern Scottish cuisine.
After breakfast, take a drive to Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano offering panoramic views of the city and beyond. If you enjoy hiking, take the opportunity to reach the summit, which provides a stunning view of Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth, and the surrounding countryside. In the afternoon, visit the National Museum of Scotland to explore exhibits on Scotland’s history, culture, and natural heritage. Alternatively, head to Calton Hill for another incredible view of the city, or explore the charming Victoria Street and its colorful shops. End your day with a leisurely stroll along the picturesque streets of the Old Town or New Town.
For your final day, take advantage of your rental car and venture to either the Scottish Highlands or the East Lothian coastline, depending on your preferences. If you’re drawn to rugged landscapes and dramatic scenery, head north toward the Highlands to visit Cairngorms National Park or Loch Ness. Alternatively, if you prefer a coastal experience, drive east to explore the beautiful beaches and historic towns along the East Lothian coast, such as North Berwick or Dunbar. Conclude your tour by returning to Edinburgh in the evening, where you can enjoy a farewell dinner and reflect on your unforgettable Scottish adventure.
After breakfast, meet your driver for a smooth transfer to the airport. We recommend scheduling your hotel pick-up at least 4 hours before your flight departure to allow ample time for check-in. Please note that hotel check-out is at 12:00 noon. Late check-out requests will be subject to availability, so be sure to confirm with the hotel in advance if needed. Safe travels!
