The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then continue to Scotland and your chosen hotel where we enjoy a four-night stay.

After breakfast we enjoy a leisurely morning before making our way to Edinburgh for the highlight of our trip.

Arriving in the afternoon, there will be some free time to explore – why not enjoy the atmosphere of the Royal Mile, hit the shops on popular Princes Street or see the sights in the delightful Old Town. There are plenty of dining options through the city as well as cosy pubs and charming cafés to enjoy.

Later in the evening we take our seats for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo**. Drawing together a host of creative talent from across four continents, the innovative production features heart-stopping sounds, imaginative graphics, state-of-the-art lighting, specially commissioned fireworks and almost 1,000 performers! After the show we’ll make our way back to the hotel.

Dinner is not provided on the day we visit the Edinburgh Tattoo. ** The Edinburgh Tattoo is an evening performance and we recommend wearing suitable clothing in case of changeable weather. The Edinburgh Tattoo is reached by a steep walk on a mainly cobbled approach and there are steps to seats - if you have concerns about access please contact us for further information.
