Itinerary

Day 1 Meet your coach at your chosen pick-up point and travel to Belfast for the early morning ferry crossing to Cairnryan. Upon arrival, we’ll continue to Glasgow. After checking into your hotel, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure. Explore the city, soak up the festive atmosphere, and shop ’til you drop in Glasgow’s bustling streets and markets.

Day 2 Today, after breakfast (departure times will be confirmed by your tour manager) travel to Edinburgh to visit the Christmas markets – get into the festive spirit. One of the best places to be during the festive season – wander the cobbled streets and take in the sounds of laughter and sights of twinkling lights from the stalls, or enjoy a drink in front of a roaring log fire in one of the many cosy pubs. Enjoy the great shopping, unbeatable festive atmosphere, and iconic views from the top of the Big Wheel. Have a go on the old-fashioned carousel in Princes Street Gardens, browse the stalls in search of that perfect Christmas gift or just soak up the buckets of atmosphere. Later, meet your coach (departure times will be confirmed by your tour manager) and make your way back to your hotel in Glasgow to enjoy the rest of the evening at leisure.

Day 3 After breakfast and check-out, enjoy some more free time in Glasgow to finish your Christmas shopping or take in a few more sights. Later, board your coach and travel onwards to Cairnryan for the evening ferry crossing to Belfast. Upon arrival, you’ll return to your original departure point.
