Itinerário
Do nosso ponto de partida do Castelo de Edimburgo, saímos da cidade até a vila de Rosslyn, fazendo nossa primeira parada na Capela de Rosslyn. Descrita como a "Biblioteca na Pedra", as paredes internas da Capela de Rosslyn estão cobertas de milhares de esculturas antigas, cada uma com sua própria história. Você também pode aprender sobre os mitos e lendas que cercam a capela, incluindo contos dos Cavaleiros Templários. A fama mundial da Capela de Rosslyn aumentou graças ao romance "O Código Da Vinci", sucesso de vendas de Dan Brown.
Viajamos para a cidade histórica de Melrose, local de nascimento do jogo de Rugby Sevens e localização da Abadia de Melrose, fundada em 660, supostamente o lugar de enterro do caixão que contém o coração de Robert o Bruce. Aqui paramos para o almoço e temos tempo livre para explorar Melrose e sua Abadia. Devido às inspeções de muralhas, atualmente não há acesso de visitantes à igreja da abadia.
No caminho de volta para Edimburgo, apreciaremos o cenário deslumbrante das Fronteiras antes de chegar à nossa parada final: Glenkinchie Distillery, uma das últimas destilarias restantes nas Lowlands e a casa de Johnnie Walker nas Lowlands. Aqui, você embarcará em um passeio relaxante para aprender sobre a arte tradicional de fazer uísque, seguido por uma sessão de degustação (extra opcional) de alguns dos melhores single malts 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.
