Edinburgh Self-Guided Day Trip

At the indicated time, head to King's Cross train station and hop onboard a train that will take you to Edinburgh, the Scottish capital.

During a 4.5-hour journey, you'll cross England enjoying the beautiful views of the British East Coast and the authentic Scottish countryside.

As you arrive in the city, you'll have around 6 hours to see the main points of interest at your own pace.

The trip includes tickets to Edinburgh Castle, Scotland's most visited attraction, and unlimited use of the tourist bus, meaning you can get on and off as many times as you like at whichever of its stops.

Si bien el precio era razonable y el hotel de recepcion aceptablemente bueno, el viajero se encuentra con poca asistencia y librado a su suerte desde la partida en King Cross. Las instrucciones de viaje son insuficientes y ya en Edimburgo ausencia total de asistencia. No obstante el viaje a Edimburgo me resulto satisfactorio por la hermosura de la Ciudad y a pesar del intenso frio. En conclusion: no se que cual es la ventaja de tomar el Tour cuando podría haber hecho lo mismo por mi cuenta.

Un viaje largo que yo le agregaría la opción de pagar para ir en primera clase , pero realmente vale la pena las 4 horas de ida y vuelta , si tienen un poco más de tiempo es mejor escoger la de dos Dias allí . Translate this opinion into English.

A long trip that I would add the option to pay to go in first class, but it is really worth the 4 hours round trip, if you have a little more time it is better to choose the two day there. Opinion translated. Show original.
