Da Vinci Code & Scottish Borders - Kleingruppentagesausflug ab Edinburgh

Good tour, ample time at each venue, driver informative. We had to catch a bus back to our cruise ship and driver was kind enough to leave us off close to the bus departure point to save us time. Very considerate.

It was an item on my bucket list. Glad I went. Ian, the driver, was great! Van was very clean. Yada yada yada

Whether you're Da Vinci's code fan or not, this is a must see! Our guide Dug was great, fond of history, curious, talkative, knowing so many great stories and telling them with a passion! It was raining in the morning, but as soon as we were in melrose place the weather gave us time to make photos....the landscapes are beautiful so green, so full of scottish something :) Do this tour, nothing to regret! The mini bus is very comfortable, you can even charge your phone

Melrose Abbey and Rosslyn Chapel are brreathtaking and very definitely a must to see. The entire tour was great. The scenery you see on the way is beautiful,, even when it rains!. I had a great guide/driver, who knew a lot about the history of the Scottish Borders. He made every effort to share his knowledge with the group in a very pleasant way.

I would certainly recommend this trip to others. The driver was very friendly and informative and it was established a rapport with everyone. The only criticism is that when he talk to the passengers in the mini bus, he turned his hand around and removed his eyes from the road.

Our driver/guide Amy drove us safely to Roslyn Chapel where we paid for a visit to the grounds, which included a short tour with a guide. She then walked us to the ruins of a castle situated next to a stream and county park, Roslyn Glen. Along the way she gave commentary and answered our questions. She played Scottish music, too. We drove to Melrose Abbey where we paid for a visit to the grounds which included an audio guide. Climb the steps to the lookout in the abbey where you can get a close-up view of the bagpipe playing pig and dog gargoyles, and a scenic view of the abbey from above. We had time for lunch in the quaint town and then drove back to Edinburgh after stopping at a scenic view of the lowlands. The tour stops and starts near the North Bridge.

Excellent trip. Another 15 to 30 minutes in each place would have been nice but overall loved it. Driver Bob was excellent .

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR

I definitely would recommend this tour--I only gave it 4 stars, because we only spent a little over an hour at Roselyn Chapel and would have loved to stay longer--it was not enough time. The guide was entertaining and knowledgeable--booked through Viator and Rabbies was the name of the tour company--definitely recommend them!

Great tour! Our driver/guide was excellent. Only complaint is amount of time at Roslyn Chapel - could have used additional 30 minutes.

I had really looked forward to this tour and was not disappointed. Mr. Creighton the tour guide was very informative and funny with a lot of knowledge of the area and the history. Loved Scott's View - what a wonderful vista of the countryside! Rosslyn Chapel did not disappoint, either. What a beautiful old church. So much history and so many beautiful carvings. Well worth the day to see all this.

Grant Burns, our tour guide, was informative, enthusiastic, and funny. His mix of music all Scottish artists on the bus drive provided a wonderful backdrop to the bonny beautiful Scottish landscape. We visited Melrose, a delightful Scottish town, with a wonderful damaged Abby church for exploring. Finally, we visited the captivating, Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by the book and film The Da Vinci Code.
