Itinerario
Desde nuestro punto de partida en el Castillo de Edimburgo, nos dirigiremos a la localidad de Roslin para hacer nuestra primera parada en la capilla de Rosslyn. Descrita como la "biblioteca de piedra", los muros interiores de la capilla Rosslyn están recubiertos de miles de antiguos grabados, cada uno de ellos con una historia propia. También podrá conocer los mitos y leyendas que rodean esta capilla, incluidas las historias de los caballeros templarios. La capilla de Rosslyn vio incrementada su fama a nivel mundial gracias a la exitosa novela "El Código Da Vinci" de Dan Brown.
Viajamos a la histórica ciudad de Melrose, lugar de nacimiento del juego de Rugby Sevens y ubicación de la Abadía de Melrose, fundada en 660, que se dice que es el lugar de enterramiento del ataúd que contiene el corazón de Roberto el Bruce. Aquí paramos para almorzar y tenemos tiempo libre para explorar Melrose y su Abadía. Debido a las inspecciones de mampostería, actualmente no hay acceso de visitantes a la iglesia abacial.
De regreso a Edimburgo, contemplaremos el impresionante paisaje de los Borders antes de llegar a nuestra última parada: la destilería Glenkinchie, una de las últimas destilerías que quedan en las Lowlands y el hogar de Johnnie Walker en las Lowlands. Aquí, emprenderá un relajado recorrido para aprender sobre el arte tradicional de la elaboración del whisky, seguido de una sesión de degustación (opcional) de algunos de los mejores whiskys de pura malta de Glenkinchie.

Had a lovely day with Gary at Rosslyn chappel, Melrose for lunch and glenkinchie distillery. He's very knowledgeable. I just didn’t know that Johnny walker now owns it. But very nice tastings and learned about whisky.
As a solo traveler in a group of 11, I had a wonderful experience on this Edinburgh to Rosslyn Chapel Highlands tour. Our driver/guide was the star — fun, smart, and incredibly engaging. He kept everyone learning and laughing throughout the day while making sure we all felt included. The scenery was stunning and his storytelling made every stop special. Highly recommended!
Gillian was excelente with us, she is very joyful, enthusiastic and was very patient. Very good customer service. Rosslyn chapel is wonderful to see. Throughout the entire trip we saw beautiful places and had very pleasant experiences.

Alístair was a wonderful guide. His cheery disposition and awesome playlist made this journey through the lowlands very enjoyable. You can tell he really appreciates the history of Scotland as he retells history on your way from site to site. Rosslyn Chapel is uniquely beautifully and in itself with the journey. Melrose Abbey is a wonder and the staff at Glenkinchie is the meaning of good hospitality.

Please don't be a stranger, we hope to welcome you back on tour with us someday soon! Best wishes, Elizabeth
Excellent tours. Great guide. Outstanding opportunity to get out of Edinburgh and see the borders. Only issue we had was feeling rushed in some of the areas - trying to stay on a tight schedule. Lorna from Timberbush was a delight.
Dear Chad, Thanks for taking the time to leave Lorna such a lovely review! She will be thrilled to hear about all the positive feedback, so we will make sure to pass along the kind words! Our Rosslyn Chapel and Glenkinchie tour showcases some of the reasons why Scotland is wonderful, from our beautiful architecture to the delight of our whiskey. It's great to hear that you agree! We hope we can welcome you on another tour soon! Kind regards, Fatima
Adam was our driver, guide, historian, and comedian for the day. Each of your stops are managed on your own or under the guidance of Roslyn Chapel, Melrose Abbey, and the distillery, with a view of the country along the day, which were all wonderful experiences. Two thumbs way up for Adam’s driving, music playlist, and dad jokes keeping us entertained and educated through the day.
Hi there, thank you for your review, We are very happy to hear that you had a brilliant time exploring the Scottish borders with our driver-guide Adam. We're very happy to hear that you appreciated Adam's safe and careful driving and that you also appreciated his friendliness and his informative commentary. We will be sure to inform him of your kind review. We hope we can welcome you on another one of our tours again in the future! Many thanks, Luisa
The tour was fantastic. Jillian was a wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable guide and made every effort to make sure everyone was having fun. The tour locations were close enough to Edinburgh that we never spent too much time driving and had plenty of time at each location. The tour van was also nice and clean and had usb ports for phones (a big plus for me!) Highly recommend- I’ll definitely book through the same company next time I’m visiting!
Dear Felicia, Thanks for the fantastic review! Gillian will be thrilled to know that you enjoyed your tour with her, and we will make sure to pass along the lovely feedback! We hope we can welcome you on another tour soon! Kind Regards, Fatima
The tour was excellent. Rosslyn Chapel was amazing. The Glenkinchie Distillery tour was very informative. We could not have asked for a better tour guide.
Thank you Paul Santa! You Sr. were an amazing tour guide. We had a great tour thanks to you and your knowledge of Scotland.
