Overview of your Edinburgh tour

Come with me on this full day tour to the Scottish Borders! I will take you to Rosslyn Chapel, home of the Holy Grail. I am sure you will wander around the Chapel and marvel at the stunning architecture. We then make our way to traquair house. The oldest enhabitted house in Scotland. From here we will also head to Melrose, another extraordinary historical site, where we will have a break for lunch. You can even choose if you prefer more surroundings of the Borders, exploring the beautiful towns and villages that the Borders has to offer, This is one of my favourite tours as we visit some of Scotland's lesser known locations. We will explore together all the history of the country. I love answering questions, and that's the reason behind I love so much being a tour guide. I look forward to meeting you on this tour for a fun packed and informative day!
