Tours from Edinburgh
Journey to England From Scotland’s Capital
Why visit one country when you can easily do two? Cross the border from Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, and tour parts of England in as little as a day. As a creative - yet historic - hub, housing castles, annual comedy festivals, and open green landscapes, you may wonder why you’d want to visit anywhere outside of Scotland? But believe us, there is so much more to uncover beyond a city's walls. Maybe the calming whispers of The Lake District are calling your name, or you want to re-enact your favourite Harry Potter scenes on a castle tour of Alnwick Castle? Taking a trip around England turns these dreams into a reality, and it starts when you depart from Edinburgh.

Travel Responsibly from Edinburgh
We love touring England from Edinburgh and experiencing the sights beyond the Scottish borders. From the Yorkshire Dales, to Roman Britain, each day tour from Edinburgh has something special to offer its guests. Through our responsible travel initiative, we donate, volunteer, use small mini-coaches, and do as much as we can to protect locations for future generations to enjoy.
