This full-day bus tour from Edinburgh lasts about nine hours and includes admission to Alnwick Castle. The tour departs in a 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach with an English-speaking driver-guide. The first stop is Kelso, a Scottish Borders town, where visitors have around 40 minutes to walk through the cobbled market square, browse boutique shops, and see the ruins of Kelso Abbey. After Kelso, the tour crosses into England and continues to Alnwick Castle near the Northumberland Coast. Visitors spend about three hours at the castle, which is included in the tour price. Alnwick Castle was used as a filming location for the Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey. An upgrade ticket for access to the Alnwick Gardens can be purchased on arrival, although the gardens may be closed on certain dates. After the castle visit, the coach travels along the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a brief 10-minute stop to view the coastline. The return journey crosses back into Scotland, stopping for about 25 minutes in Dunbar, a town in East Lothian known as the birthplace of naturalist John Muir. Guests can briefly explore Dunbar before heading back to Edinburgh. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. The tour is limited to 16 passengers, with no more than eight from any one party. Children under five are not allowed, and luggage restrictions apply. Tickets for Alnwick Castle are reserved in advance, while garden access may be purchased separately on site.
