Japan Unveiled Itinerary

Day 1: Fly to Scotland

Make your own way or fly to Glasgow.

Transfer to your centrally located hotel in the late afternoon where you’ll be welcomed by your tour manager.

You’ll then have the rest of the day to explore Glasgow at your leisure, perhaps enjoying dinner at the hotel or one of the nearby restaurants.

Day 2: Included Edinburgh orientation tour and Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

This morning, you’ll set off to Edinburgh, a beautiful historic city that really buzzes during the famous festival season. Upon arrival, your tour manager will introduce you to the most famous sights before there’ll be free time to explore at your own pace. Seek out Princess Street, the historic Edinburgh Castle set atop Castle Rock, St Giles Cathedral, the Sir Walter Scott monument and the Royal Mile. You might also like to visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the King’s official residence in Scotland while you’re here (entrance payable locally).

To get into the spirit of things, why not call at the Spirit of the Tattoo? This interactive exhibition reveals the story and mythology surrounding the Tattoo and is an ideal way to learn a little more about the history of the famous event.

Later, you’ll return to your coach to make your way to the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle for the performance of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo - it’s a dazzling and unforgettable spectacle.

Highlights include the sight of the massed pipes, drums and military bands as they emerge from the huge castle gates and fill the air with stirring music, and the iconic sight of the lone piper silhouetted against the backdrop of the sky as he patrols the battlements above.

Day 3: Included orientation tour of Glasgow, day at leisure or optional excursion to Trossachs and Loch Lomond

Join your tour manager this morning on a short walking tour of Glasgow, followed by some time at your leisure. Spend some time exploring all that Glasgow has to offer, perhaps visiting the Glasgow Cathedral or City Chambers and strolling through George Square with beautiful views of the historic buildings in the centre of the city.

Alternatively, take an optional excursion to the Trossachs and Loch Lomond, an outstandingly beautiful area of mountains, lochs, rivers and woodlands steeped in history. Later in the day, enjoy an hour-long circular cruise on one of the most scenic parts of the Loch, taking in Ben Lomond and surrounding area. The live commentary on board will ensure that you don’t miss a thing.

Day 4: Return journey

Check out of the hotel and return to Glasgow airport today for your journey back home or make your own way.
