School Trips To Edinburgh

Scotland’s dynamic, breathtaking capital.

Did you know that Edinburgh Castle sits on a volcano?

Don’t worry, it’s long-since extinct. You’ve missed the action by about 350 million years, so there’s no chance of an eruption on your next school trip to Edinburgh. But the volcanic past makes it the perfect site for an awe-inspiring, powerful castle that towers into the sky. It sets the precedent for a beautiful, old city that’s still full of life, as you would expect from a modern capital.

As far as school trips go, this is one of the best destinations in the UK. There’s a huge range of educational options – history, medicine, art, politics, geography, and more. And there’s great fun to be had too (ghost tour, anyone?).

Why Choose Edinburgh For An Educational Tour?

There's Plenty To See

From the winding streets of the Old Town to the grand buildings of the Georgian New Town, Edinburgh is packed with attractions.

A visit to Edinburgh Castle is a must – you’ll hear tales of monarchs, sieges and battles. Down the road, the Palace of Holyroodhouse gives a glimpse into royal life, past and present. There’s also the National Museum of Scotland, where you can take part in workshops and guided tours.

We’ve only scratched the surface here. Edinburgh has plenty to offer – all you need to do is tell us what you’re interested in, and we’ll build the perfect trip.

It's Easy To Reach & Budget-Friendly

Staying in the UK makes Edinburgh a practical choice. There’s no need to worry about passports or border checks, and the city is well connected to the rest of the UK.

Most of our groups travel by coach, meaning you have your own personal transport around the area (ideal if you plan on visiting Arthur’s Seat). We also have group-friendly accommodation options in the Old Town and outside of the city, depending on your needs.

For value, simplicity, and quality of experience, it’s hard to beat.
