We visit The Chapter House home to one of only 4 surviving copies of The Magna Carta and see the oldest working clock in Europe, dating back to 1386.

Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago the huge 40 tonne stones were dragged from over 280 miles away in Wales. Who built it and why remains a mystery today. Some say that it was built as a religious temple, or an astronomical clock. Stonehenge continues to enthrall the imagination and captivate the heart of every visitor.

Bath
This beautiful Georgian city justly deserves its status as a World Heritage Site, with its delightful terraces, elegant crescents and stunning architecture, on our panoramic tour of the city we will show you the crescents, Pulteney Bridge modeled on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence and Bath Abbey. Then into the Roman Baths built over 2,000 years and still in perfect working order.

This tour offers the unique opportunity to visit Old Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral, a Seine river cruise and a visit to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower -- all in one day with guided commentary!

Another benefit of this fantastic tour is no waiting in line, thanks to Gray Line Paris. We offer perfectly combined tours to discover Paris from east to west, and which bring visitors back to the origins of the city. This tour is a combination of two half-day tours. Below are the descriptions:

Paris is an ancient city, created more than 2,000 years ago at the City Island (Ile de la Cité). This tour will enlighten and entertain, as it captures the soul of Paris. With special emphasis on the history and art of the capital, this tour includes:
•A drive through the oldest part of the city, the Marais District, and its hotels (private townhouses occupied by nobility during the 17th and 18th centuries)
•The Latin Quarter and Sorbonne, the University of Paris
•The Luxembourg Gardens
•Saint-Germain des Prés, ancient cathedrals, and famous cafés
•A guided visit of the interior of Notre Dame Cathedral)*
•A short cruise to the Cité Island. (This part of the tour will be unavailable if water levels are too high.)

*In the case of mass at Notre Dame, the guide will provide commentary along the three portals but will not be allowed to speak inside the Cathedral.

One of the best characteristics of French culture is the monumental respect for history and commitment to the restoration of their national monuments. The result of this preservation of the past has created the beautiful and historic city as we now know it, with its unique perspectives, geometric squares, sculptures and monuments. This tour concentrates on showing Paris from two different angles: from above and below. From the Eiffel Tower, enjoy a 360-degree panoramic aerial view of the capital. From the Seine river cruise, visitors will be captivated by an up-close-and-personal view of the monuments and bridges.

•Marais District
•Latin Quarter
•Luxembourg Gardens

Depart Edinburgh at 09.30 and travel north over the Forth Road Bridge, passing one of Scotland's great engineering wonders - the Forth Rail Bridge. Continuing north into the Kingdom of Fife you pass Loch Leven castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in 1567 and forced to abdicate from the throne.

Further on you will also pass Perth, the medieval capital of Scotland, before crossing the Highland Boundary Fault line, and the point where the scenery changes from the rolling farmland of the Lowlands to the forested hills and mountains of the Scottish Highlands. Surrounded by this beautiful scenery and on the banks of the River Tay is the Cathedral town of Dunkeld, your first stop of the day. Dunkeld was for many centuries the capital of the Christian Celtic Church, and its 13th century Cathedral reflects the once great importance of this quaint Highland village. From Dunkeld it's a short drive to the Hermitage, a fantastic woodland walk leading up to the Black Linn Falls where the River Braan cascades into a narrow gorge. Surrounded by some of Scotland's tallest trees and changing spectacularly in appearance throughout the seasons it's a great place at any time of year. You may even have the chance to see the spectacular sight of Salmon attempting to leap up the falls and on towards their spawning grounds.

Leaving the Hermitage you follow the wide valley of the River Tay towards the Victorian resort town of Pitlochry. You will spend around 1 hour here and you can visit the many great shops and restaurants or maybe even take a walk down towards Loch Faskally.

After lunch you take a scenic drive through the mountains of Highland Perthshire, first crossing over the Pass of Killiecrankie before a short stop at the Queen's View overlooking Loch Tummel. On a clear day the view here is stunning, looking over to the unmistakable peak of Schiehallion and beyond to the mountains of Glencoe. Continuing alongside Loch Tummel you then head over the hills and past the spectacular sixteenth century Castle Menzies towards the town of Aberfeldy and Dewars Whisky distillery*, where you can discover the secret of how Scotland's national drink is made. No visit to Scotland is complete without sampling a 'wee dram' and you will get the chance to taste some of the finished product. Known in the Gaelic as Uisge Beatha (or 'water of life') whisky has been produced for centuries in Scotland and the art is now close to perfection. Later you travel West into the ancient lands of Breadalbane, or the ‘High Country’ surrounding Loch Tay and make your way along the loch towards Killin. The small town is situated on the edge of the River Dochart and has the fantastic Falls of Dochart at its heart, flowing under the old bridge and past the ancient burial ground of the Clan MacNab who once dominated the area. After Killin you take a drive over the Braes of Balquhidder, the resting place of Highland outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor before passing Stirling Castle and Linlithgow Palace on your return journey to Edinburgh.

Return time - approx. 19.15
