From Private Tours to Whiskey Tastings, Get a True Taste for Edinburgh, Scotland (Europe) for Seven Days & Six Nights at the Apex City Hotel for Two, Including a City Tour of Edinburgh with a Visit to the Castle, Scotch Whiskey Experience and Your Choice of Two Legendary Scottish Tours (Land Only)

Take a fantastic journey to the region of iconic landmarks, world-famous festivals and exciting possibilities - Edinburgh, of course, where heroes and history, myths and medieval stories combine! Get a true taste for Edinburgh with your private half-day city sightseeing tour, which will take you past all the major tourist attractions, including Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace and more, as well as a whiskey experience! You'll also get to choose two of seven fascinating full-day tours to complete your Scottish experience, all with the comfort of staying at the 4-star Apex City Hotel in central Edinburgh.

Your Scotland experience includes two full-day tours to the various Scottish destinations, from lochs to glens, and villages and to castles. A tour to Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlights takes you through some of the most spectacular and haunting scenery. You can travel by Stirling and on past Doune Castle toward the village of Luss, set on bonny, bonny banks. Spend a day in the land of Scottish heroes Rob Roy, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace, as you tour Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and Stirling Castle. Stunning waterfalls and the country's tallest trees dot the route between Highland Loch, Pitlochry, Loch Tummel and Loch Tay. View the "eighth wonder of the world" in South Queensferry, before traveling into the medieval kingdom of Fife, and then the historic city of St. Andrews, where you are free to explore! Uncover the myths and legends surrounding the Da Vinci code, the Knights Templar and the heart of Robert the Bruce as you visit Rosslyn Chapel and the Scottish Borders. Or follow the ancient Roman Dere Street that connected Scottish Caledonia with Roman Britannia through the Scottish Borders, including a visit to Alnwick Castle and Berwick.

Find out how whiskey, the water of life, is produced in Scotland as an experienced tour guide explains the different characteristics between whiskies from the Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside and Islands. Your tour also includes a private viewing of the Diageo Claive Vidiz Scotch Whiskey Collection (the largest in the world); comparative tastings of one blended, one single grain and two single malt whiskies; boxed crystal whisky tasting glass; a copy of Whiskey Magazine; and tea or coffee and shortbread.
