Make it your day

Every Tour Britannia tour is private, so the itinerary is a starting point, not a script.

This is the route most of our guests take, but you can change any of it. Your guide plans the day around you before you travel and stays flexible on the day itself. You can linger longer wherever you’re enjoying yourself, skip anything that doesn’t appeal, or stop wherever something catches your eye.

Stop at the Kelpies, the giant horse-head sculptures near Falkirk
Add Doune Castle, Castle Leoch in Outlander and Winterfell in Game of Thrones
Visit Blackness Castle, Fort William in Outlander
Swap Linlithgow for a whisky distillery near Stirling
Get picked up from Edinburgh Airport, or from your cruise ship at South Queensferry or Leith
Spread it over two days and continue into the Highlands
