Day 1: Start Edinburgh

EdinburghWhen we join forces in Edinburgh today our good spirits will be flowing. Home to William Wallace, this city is all about historical cool. We’ll be welcomed by an orientation of the city, guiding us past kilt-clad locals & on to castles down cobbled lanes. No doubt the capital of the land of haggis and whisky will impress. Next up, the celebrations kick off with fire torches and a procession of the oh so keen marching down the street, so grab one and join in the party! Look up and you’ll see a viking ship burning on Carlton Hill and with music, street performers, and a drink or two, it’s a night to remember.

Whisky Tastes and TalesIgnite your palate with a locally guided tasting of the national drink of Scotland. The Scots have traditionally called their whisky ‘aqua vitae’ quite literally translating to the ‘water of life’ & giving us an appreciation of the reverence in which whisky is held here. Here you will sample some of the finest local whiskies all while your local guide recounts the legendary tales of the people who helped to turn whisky from a locally produced drink into a national treasure.

Edinburgh

Though the parties will still be kicking on across the city, this day is yours to ring in the new year as you see fit. A late breakfast, a city stroll and a spot of shopping might be all your danced out feet can muster. If you’re not tired out, then channel your Scotsman and head for a stroll to Arthurs Seat for the city’s best views. Ahh Edinburgh, we’re in love. Tonight, why not join the group for dinner and a show and hear bagpipers do their thing over some delicious local eats.

(Partially) travel with a nice group or entirely travel solo?

By booking an organized Scotland | England | UK tour for young adults or other Europe trips for young people you can not only reduce planning hassle, but often also save money, as tour operators can buy accommodations, transportation, etc. in larger contingents in advance and thus get special conditions. You will also benefit from the experience of the tour operator, professional tour guides (whose stories you can enjoy…) and have the easy opportunity to meet nice fellow travelers when traveling in a group. Anyone who has traveled before will know that travel companions or other traveling acquaintances are one of the most essential factors for unforgettable experiences. In addition, you usually have enough individual freedom even with organized tours and you can, if the arrival and departure is not included, additionally extend your stay individually before or after the group tour with young adults. If you still prefer to organize your trip completely on your own and travel independently, then you’ll find all the practical tools you need to plan and book quickly & cheaply on our individual travel page.
