DAY 1:
Arrive Edinburgh
Edinburgh
Royal mile, old Castle, home of the brave, Edinburgh is going to turn it on from start to end. With days of good time ahead, go out in search of haggis, a whisky bar and join the jolly locals before meeting up with the crew tonight, in anticipation of the good times that are yet to come.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Scottish Evening
GBP 36.00
Edinburgh
DAY 2:
Edinburgh
Edinburgh
Today is yours to roam free - but if you want to get the low down on the history of this city why not join our local guide for an optional tour of Edinburgh Castle (which is resting on an extinct volcano!!) to kickstart your love affair with this city. Or maybe you'll do a spot of tartan shopping on Princes Street. Strictly for the purpose of being cultural, you should probably make time for a traditional deep fried chocolate bar during your day. The things we do for cultural immersion...
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Edinburgh Castle Experience
GBP 19.50
Whisky Tastes and Tales
GBP 22.50
Edinburgh
DAY 3:
Edinburgh to Scottish Highlands via St. Andrews
Edinburgh
Wake from your fried chocolate food coma crazy travellers, it's time to blaze a trail out of Edinburgh & head for the Scottish Highlands.
St. Andrews
On the way to the main affair of the day we'll stop by St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf, would you believe? As well as Scotland’s oldest university town.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit St. Andrews, the home of golf
Scottish Highlands
Already blown away by the beauty of the rugged mountain scenery en route, we'll arrive in the Scottish Highlands amped up for mystical tales and a lake cruise on Loch Ness.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Spot 'Nessie' on a boat cruise of stunning Loch Ness
DAY 4:
Scottish Highlands to West Highlands via Isle of Skye
Scottish Highlands
We might be coming down from a high (geographically speaking) this morning, but as we seek out the stunning Isle of Skye, the mood will only be rising.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
See the spectacular Eilean Donan castle
Isle of Skye
Time to explore an island famed for its pastel houses that fringe the coastline like a giant selection of marshmallows. We'll look around a fishing port and the seaside town of Portree, all the while learning how people live in this dramatic environment.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit the seaside town of Portree
West Highlands
Before the day's out we'll set our eyes on Britain's highest mountain. Whether capped by snow or overflowing with green, it's sure to take your breath away & leave you more than content with your day's discoveries.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
See Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain
DAY 5:
West Highlands to Glasgow via Stirling
West Highlands
After a few days of remote and rugged goodness, a change of pace in Scotland's biggest city is sure to fire things up a notch.
Stirling
We make a stop in Stirling, known for it's famous Castle nestled right on a hill, and the town where William Wallace took on the English and yelled "Freeeedom!"
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
See the William Wallace Monument
Glasgow
Get involved with everything great about Glasgow. Live music on every corner, a gothic cathedral & plenty of quirky characters make this city unique.
DAY 6:
Depart Glasgow
Glasgow
Our trip ends this morning after breakfast. Say goodbye to your travel squad, and get started on planning the next big travel adventure.

FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Add even more oomph to your trip with our epic Free Time Add-Ons, like a traditional Scottish evening and a trip to the super cool (and probably super haunted) Edinburgh Castle.

More About Travel Styles
It would have been nice if we could have seen more castles and battlefields, and had more time in the little towns we stopped in. An hour for lunch and exploring is not enough time.
I was promised a fun time with like-minded, young individuals who are respectful instead I recieved insults, threats, and isolation from other travelers. A rumor about me was spread to the entire group which was false. I was constantly harassed, insulted, threatened, and ostracized. I experienced several moments where I wanted to leave the trip and go home.
Besides being harassed during my vacation, the trip itself had a poor choice of meal inclusions. Also, it lacked sufficient background information while traveling on the bus from one site to another. I longed for Scottish history, culture, and current event information which I was robbed of.
I felt as though I could have gotten more for my money travelling on my own. Many events were not included in the price and some things that were included (some food choices in meals etc) I would not have chosen to spend my money on given the choice.
Generally this was good, I enjoyed meeting the other travellers and the stops where we had time to enjoyed getting to know the place. I was disappointed with the amount of time (or lack of) that we spent in Portree.
Although advertised as an "indepth explorer" majority of time was spent on the bus, with limited time during stops to be able to see or do much, in most cases only leaving time to grab a meal before it was time to get back on the bus. Instead of seeing and experiencing the culture (outside of the pubs and clubs) it appeared to be that getting from drinking point A to drinking point B was more important. If you're mainly interested in an international pub crawl this tour company is for you, if you're interested in seeing and experiencing more, better off going without Contiki.
Many of the sights and activities listed as inclusions ended up being an additional cost.
I wish this trip was a little longer. It felt rushed, and I did not get a chance to see everything I wanted to see. But I will definitely be going back!
