Frequently Asked Questions
Can we get a price adjustment please?
Your chosen departure is currently fully booked. By securing your reservation back in March, you were able to lock in your preferred rooming, tour, and travel dates. As outlined in our booking terms, we're unable to apply retrospective discounts to existing reservations. Promotional offers are introduced from time to time to support sales on the limited remaining spaces, which may include multi-share hostel dorm options rather than the rooming you selected.
Can you help me with booking flights? Are breakfasts included?
Breakfast is included when booking our multi-day tours with B&B accommodation. We are unable to assist with booking flights but remain on hand to answer any further questions you may have.
Do you have this tour offered earlier in May [like May 2nd or even later April 2026]?
No, the earliest date is 17th May 2026 for this tour.
Is there any trip in scotland where fan share room with other singles?
I would recommend our sister company tours - Haggis Adventures for a 3 day or 5 day tour where we would stay in multi shared hostel dorm accommodations.
I would like to know how many people will be on our tour in the bus?
I did not see the cost of the trip you mentioned, could you please forward that information to me please. Also what are the days in September that are available? We prefer mid September if possible.
My cousin and I would like to book on the above tour with Split Payment for SALE2025 price. Prefer 2 single rooms (or twin room). Also require 3 nights accommodation in Edinburgh prior to tour.
We do not have two single rooms available on this tour, we can offer a twin room, but this depends on the dates you wish to travel and are subject to availability.
is airfare included
Airfare is not included, accommodation and breakfast are.
We are wondering what type of vehicle is used for this trip. Does it have lots of leg room for taller individuals and is it spacious for plus size passengers? As well, does the tour have a lot of walking.
There is enough space on our seats on our coaches but if you require a seat at the front of the coach or a seat at the back of the bus (which would have more leg room, depending on the coach), then please let us know, and we can ask you to request this and we can add this to your booking notes and it cannot be guaranteed.
What are your dates for March 2024
Our tour dates for 2024 will not be released until February/March of 2024
We are interested in dates for 2024 for this trip
Dates and prices for our 2024 tours should be released around January or February, however it may be a little later depending on when in the year when you would like to go.
