Escorted guided tour and live commentary en route...
A town steeped in history. In 75 AD, Isca Silurum, was established as a permanent garrison for the Second Augustan Legion at 5,600 strong, now called Caerleon, which translates to 'Fort of the Legions'. This area hides a wealth of Roman remains, along with Chester and York, Caerleon was one of the principle Roman military bases in Britain. The elite of the Roman army were based here, in what became a large Roman town. The extent of the remains here are impressive and Britain's most revealing Roman site. Guided tour of amphitheatre built in 90AD, Fortress Baths, and museum.
Our journey from Caerleon travels the route used by stagecoach passengers before railroads were built, along narrow roads with quaint stone cottages and coaching inns to our next stop, 5-star Celtic Manor Resort, host of the prestigious 2010 Ryder Cup (exterior view).
Built on the banks of the River Wye, Chepstow has the distinction of being the first castle in Britain to be constructed of stone, founded in 1067AD. Medieval town walls enclose Chepstow's narrow streets and the main road is straddled by the battlemented 13th century town gate which adds further to the town's charming historic character. Guided tour of the castle.

The Wye Valley, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visit in spring and you will find woods carpeted with bluebells, wild garlic and wood anemones, summer time the meadows come alive with wild flowers and autumn's cascade of golden colours. LUNCH STOP: Tintern Parva, a riverside village which nestles amongst the wooded slopes of the Wye Valley.

13th-century Tintern Abbey is one of the UK's top attractions. The medieval builders did an amazing job, truly a masterpiece of decorated Gothic architecture. The Cistercian abbey, now a majestic ruin, was founded in 1131 by Walter de Clare and was active until the Dissolution of the Monasteries enacted by King Henry VIII. It is easy to see why this abbey, in its splendid setting, inspired poetry from William Wordsworth and was painted by Turner. Guided tour of the Abbey.

Our final stop, is the picturesque small town of Usk, set on the banks of the river from which it takes its name. Photostop and orientation driving tour of the town.

Escorted guided tour and live commentary en route.....

Wales’ largest fortress, the 13th-century Caerphilly Castle, one of the greatest surviving medieval castles in Britain. With its massive gatehouses and water defences, its design heavily influenced the course of medieval architecture and is one of the truly great strongholds of medieval Europe. Working replicas of siege engines are on display. Guided tour of the castle.

The Brecon Beacons National Park is a jewel in the crown of the UK's protected landscapes. It boasts some of the most spectacular upland formations in southern Britain, yet still remains one of the UK's best kept secrets. We travel along the mountain road through the village of Ystradfellte, descend into the head of the scenic Senni valley. The tour delivers diverse landscapes from lush wooded valleys and gentle rolling hills to craggy mountains and imposing reservoirs, and grazing Welsh Black cattle, Welsh Mountain ponies and plenty of sheep.

Lunch stop at Libanus Visitors' Centre, built on the ancient common of Mynydd Illtud, offering superb views over the common to the Beacons and Fforest Fawr, and Pen-y-Fan, the highest mountain in southern Britain.

The historical market town of Brecon, positioned on the banks of the River Usk and confluence of the Rivers Honddu and Tarrell Brecon evokes its historical past in many ways. Grand Georgian architecture lies around nearly every corner of its narrow winding streets, its ancient cathedral dating back from Norman times, and home to the terminus of the Monmouth and Brecon Canal.

Castell Coch, (The Red Castle), the former hunting lodge of the Marquis of Bute, sited on a craggy limestone escarpment in the quaint village of Tongwynlais. The Victorian architect William Burges was commissioned by the 3rd Marquis of Bute to re-create a castle from the earlier foundations of a medieval structure. Stone cobbled courtyard, exquisite wooded carvings cover the interior, and lavishly furnished rooms. Guided tour of the castle. (Exterior castle tour only in January & February 2010).

Depart Edinburgh at 09.30 and travel west, past Stirling castle to your first stop at Doune Castle. This area of Scotland has certainly seen its fair share of fighting and warfare. Stirling castle was once known as the 'Key to Scotland', and it was here that William Wallace (immortalised by Mel Gibson in the film Braveheart) defeated the English army in 1297. After William Wallace's death it was Robert the Bruce who continued the fight for independence and you will pass the site of his most famous victory in 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn.

Then you arrive at the fantastic medieval stronghold of Doune castle. Built for Robert Stewart, the Duke of Albany, over 600 years ago the castle is still in great condition and you will have time for photos. You might even have seen the castle before, it was made famous by the film 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail', with many scenes filmed here.

You then continue a little further on to Callander. After a short coffee stop you cross the Highland boundary fault line leaving the rolling farms for the wild mountains and forests of the Highlands. You will make a short stop at Loch Luibnaig before you continue over the Braes of Balquhidder, the final resting place of Highland outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor. Made famous by Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy was a sort of Highland Robin Hood, he stole from the rich, but never quite got round to giving it to the poor.

From Balquhidder the tour winds its way through the tough knot of mountains known as Breadalbane (meaning the 'high country of Scotland') before we stop for lunch in a small West Highland village. Shortly after lunch you will see Kilchurn Castle, a magnificent ruin situated in the middle of Loch Awe and former home of the Campbells of Breadalbane. You will continue along the banks of Loch Awe through Campbell country to the picturesque town of Inveraray on the shores of Loch Fyne. Here you can visit the 18th-century castle and home of the Duke of Argyll, chief of the Campbell clan. The town was built at the same time as the castle and has the air of a classic 18th-century planned village with its straight wide streets and dignified Georgian houses. You can take time to explore the town and maybe call at the Old Jail or the maritime museum, the Arctic Penguin.

Leaving Inveraray, you take a drive up through the steep-sided mountains known as the Arrochar Alps to the great viewpoint at 'Rest and Be Thankful'. It was given its name in 1753 by the weary soldiers who had just finished building the old military road up through Glen Croe. From here you skirt around Loch Long and down to the Bonnie, Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. This is Scotland's largest loch and it takes its name from the mountain Ben Lomond on the eastern shore. You make a short stop at the conservation village of Luss, with its quaint houses and stunning views across the loch. At 17.30 you make your way back to Edinburgh, with a short photo stop underneath Stirling Castle.

Return time - approx 19.30

This tour offers the unique possibility to visit Old Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral, to take a Seine river cruise and visit the second floor of the Eiffel Tower with guided commentary in the space of one day. Enjoy no waiting in line on your tour with Gray Line Paris. We offer perfectly combined tours to discover Paris from east to west and to go back to Paris birth.
Paris was created some 2000 years ago and began at the Cite Island (Ile de la Cite). With emphasis on the history and art of the Capital this tour includes: a drive through the oldest part: the Marais district and its "hotels", private town-houses of the nobility 3 or 4 centuries ago, the Latin Quarter with the Sorbonne, the Luxembourg gardens, Saint-Germain-des-Pres district with its old church and its famous cafes, a guided visit to the interior of Notre-Dame Cathedral* and a short short transfer by boat to approach and leave the Cite Island (unless the river is too high). Before returning back to Place des Pyramides, you will admire the rigorous geometry of the Vendome Square and the surprising architecture of the "Garnier" Opera, near the department stores.
A strong characteristic of the French people is the respect they have for their history and the restoration of their national monuments. The result of this preservation of the past has greatly contributed to the beauty of Paris today, with its unique perspectives, geometric squares, sculptures and monuments. This tour concentrates on showing Paris to the visitor from two different angles : Above and below. From the Eiffel Tower we enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view of the capital from on high. From the River Seine cruise, visitors will be captivated by an original viewing angle of the monuments and bridges from below.
