About United Kingdom

This 8-day, 7-night tour combines England's capital with Scotland's historic capital, a routing widely offered by UK-focused Indian tour operators as the classic first-time itinerary. Spend three nights in London covering Westminster, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and a Thames river cruise, then travel north by train to Edinburgh for four nights exploring Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and a day excursion into the Scottish Highlands to see Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle.

The pace suits first-time visitors and couples who want a balanced mix of city landmarks and Scottish scenery without constant hotel changes — travel between London and Edinburgh is by train, and most sightseeing outside the cities is on day excursions that return to base each evening. Exact excursion order, train timings and hotel names may vary depending on the operator and travel dates.
