What to expect

Head south towards the border between Scotland and England to discover the magic of this area. Soak up the history at Melrose Abbey, step into the magical world of Harry Potter as you explore Alnwick Castle and breathe in the sea air at North Berwick.

You'll kick off your day driving south through the scenic Scottish countryside. Your first stop of the day will be Melrose Abbey which is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful ruins in Europe. You'll have time to explore and search for the heart of Robert the Bruce!

As you cross the border into England you will reach the star of this tour, Alnwick Castle. You'll feel like you've stepped into the world of Harry Potter or Downton Abbey as you discover this incredible castle and the stunning gardens that surround it. You can even take part in a broomstick training session! No matter what age you are, you'll feel the magic! For those who want to keep both feet on the ground, there are various museums and exhibitions to discover inside the castle.

If you have some spare time, you can venture into the bustling, medieval market town of Alnwick and stroll through the cobbled streets, admiring the electric array of shops, pubs and cafes. If you're a bookworm, be sure to swing by the UK's largest second-hand bookshop!

Then it's time to head back to Scotland and to the final stop of the day, North Berwick. With its picturesque sandstone harbour, views to the islands and delicious fish and chips, there's no shortage of things to do!

    Our Driver Alex was funny and so accommodating. He told us everything he knows and more. He also tried to add a couple more stops along the way as long as we were still on time to our next destination.

    The trip was just perfect, perfect mix of time on the bus and places to visit. I just loved Alnwick Castle and the stop on the coast. To top the experience, we had a great guide, Alex, super attentive to our needs and wants, funny and with a great playlist! I would strongly recommend this tour.
