Absolutely breathtaking. Grant our guide was bright, amusing and very accommodating. Add humor to his descriptions of our tour. His warm spirit brought us all together for a full day of fun.”

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.”

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”

Rosslyn Chapel and Melrose Abbey were both amazing place to spend a few hours. Our lunch stop in Melrose, (I think) offered a variety of eateries to chose from. All in all a very pleasant day”

My wife and I visited this Chapel and learned a lot. I wish they allowed photos but the gift shop does sell some nice post cards to help you remember what you see. This place has some incredible stone carvings that were done hundreds on years ago.”

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.”

The tour was awesome. Our tour guide, keith, seems to know about his history. The trip was good where we having stop by at a nice small coffe. And he gave us a short walking tour in this beautiful forest to see William Wallace statue.”

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.”

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.”

Melrose Abbey was interesting but Rosslyn Chapel is the jewel. Da Vinci Code is a tie in but the chapel is outstanding regardless. Don't miss this opportunity. Beautiful way to also see a lovely portion of the countryside.”
