London and Edinburgh is a seven-night trip across two bases. You spend four nights in London and three nights in Edinburgh, so you see the English capital's landmarks and then Scotland's castle and historic Royal Mile. It suits first-time visitors, couples and friends who want more than one city.
Days one to four cover London, including the British Museum, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and the West End. On day five you travel to Edinburgh, where day six is for Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. Day seven is free for you to explore, and you leave on day eight.
Flights are not included and are booked separately. Visa fees, travel insurance and GST are extra, while visa assistance is part of the package. For planning help, read how to reach the United Kingdom and things to do in the United Kingdom.
