Overview

Our full-day tour of Edinburgh and Rosslyn Chapel is a great combination of our Edinburgh Highlights and Rosslyn Chapel tours. On the trip you will experience a comprehensive narrated tour of Edinburgh's history, through the old town and new town. See many of Edinburgh's famous landmarks but also go off the beaten path to explore some areas we know and love. After a late lunch take the short hop out of the city to Rosslyn Chapel, one of Scotland's most important religious sites. Almost destroyed by the elements a chance visit from Queen Victoria reversed Rosslyn's fate and a more recent visit by Tom Hanks put the church on the world-stage. Your kilt-wearing private tour guide will explain the history of the places you visit and will regale you with stories and folklore as you travel. Our premium Mercedes minivans are ideal for the journey, offering unrivalled comfort for up to 7 guests. Bottled water, wee treats and wifi is complimentary onboard.

Memories to last a lifetime.

Published on May, 2025

Our tour guide Rob was absolutely incredible. He told the history of each place in such a detailed and incredibly interesting way. He was genuine, funny, and very knowledgeable. The coach was luxurious and extremely comfortable. The locations were beautiful and so rich in history. I will be booking through this company in the future.

Wonderful way to see Edinburgh!

Published on May, 2025

This tour was a fantastic tour! Our guide Sandy was wonderful. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and the history of Scotland. He took the time to take us to some very special little places throughout the day and was very flexible and adapted the tour to us. What a great way to see the city, we had a really great time!

Use This Company If You Want To See Rosslyn Chapel

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a fantastic tour with Ben as our guide. Edinburgh was one of our cruise port stops. We tried to book a shore excursion through the ship to see the chapel but it was already fully booked. We were able to book with Experienced Tours before the cruise began and it was easy to do. Ben was very knowledgeable and showed us the highlights of Edinburgh and then off we went to Rosslyn Chapel. He got us the best seats in the chapel for the presentation and we were much better off than the other passengers from our ship. We couldn't have had a better time and made it back to the ship with no problems.

Limited time in Edinburgh

Published on Aug, 2024

Laura was fantastic. Our cruise ship changed the itineraary and Laura made sure that she was there waitng. Edinburgh doesn't a cruise ship dock so you must tender. The ship was slow in allowing guest off, we were in contact with her throughout the process. We only had a limited time in port, so she adjusted the schedule and made the most of out time. Rosslyn Chapel is unique. Lots of hidden art within the framework. Laura took the time to point out the stories in the artwork we might have overlooked. I highly recommend Laura.
