Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : St Andrews & Ballater

  A nation filled with endless natural beauty, vast history and hidden streets begging to be discovered, Scotland is hard to disappoint. This morning we depart Edinburgh and head North crossing the Firth of Forth to visit the famous town of St Andrews. We'll see the University where a young Prince William and Kate Middleton first met, here you will have free time to stroll around the compact city and see the golf course before we continue to Loch Muick in Ballater – the picnic site of Queen Victoria and somewhere where our Royals still frequent. In the evening, we sit down for dinner where you will enjoy a traditional bagpipe performance before retiring for the evening.

• Day 2 : Balmoral, Crathie Kirk and Braemar Castle

  Today get ready for an example of stunning architecture and jaw-dropping scenic views. Our first visit is Balmoral Castle*, the summer residence of the Queen Elizabeth II herself; at the nearby village we visit Crathie Church and its intriguing graveyard, the Royals still attend services here when in residence at Blamoral. Later on in the day, we continue to Braemar Castle for more breath-taking beauty. In the afternoon, we take a walk around the site of the traditional Highland Games and later in the afternoon we make our way to Lochnagar Distillery, where you can sample a wee dram of whisky if you wish before enjoying an evening at leisure.

• Day 3 : Edinburgh City, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Yacht Britannia

  Today, after a hearty full Scottish breakfast, we embark on a tour of Edinburgh Castle home to the Scottish Crown Jewels, the Stone of Destiny and St Margaret's Chapel before enjoying a stroll along the famous Royal Mile. In the afternoon, we head to the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith docks – this elegant boat was used by the Royal family until it was de-commissioned in 1997; discover what life was like on board Her Majesty's floating Royal residence and trace the footsteps of world leaders such as Sir Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela. Later we proceed to our hotel where we will enjoy an evening meal as a group.

• Day 4 : Rosslyn Chapel and the Road to York

  Today, we turn our attention away from the lovely Edinburgh, as we make the short trip to Rosslyn Chapel an utterly unique historic church shrouded in myth and legend – you may recognise it from its feature role in the film The Da Vinci Code. Later we head south through the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders and the far North of England including the rugged landscapes of Northumberland and North Yorkshire; there's plenty of time to enjoy a flexible itinerary with multiple potential stops. Finally we arrive in York where you can enjoy time at your leisure before meeting by evening to dine together.

• Day 5 : York, the Shambles and York Minster

  Today, we begin with brief walking tour of the magnificent city of York; we'll see city walls, the Shambles and the city's undoubted highlight at the iconic York Minster. Thereafter, the day is yours to explore this gorgeous city. York is home to a wealth of historic and cultural sites from the cobbled Shambles, Britain's first shopping street, to Viking heritage at the Jorvik Center. Perhaps take a stroll along the remaining medieval city walls, gates and towers or visit the National Railway Museum, current home of the Flying Scotsman, or enjoy a traditional afternoon tea at the famous "Betty's Tea Room".

• Day 6 : Shakespeare's Stratford - Upon - Avon and Leamington Spa

  Our first stop today is one for the literary buffs with a visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon; a picturesque, medieval town of Tudor timberwork buildings, open greens and boats bobbing on the river Avon and a wealth of heritage sites dedicated to the town's most famous resident William Shakespeare. Stratford-upon-Avon is the birthplace of the famous playwright and you can visit places including Shakespeare's Birthplace and Anne Hathaway's Cottage. Later we depart this charming town passing through the Cotswolds countryside and some of its villages such as Shipston-on-Stour, before arriving at the hotel to indulge in dinner in a local restaurant.

• Day 7 : Historic Oxford and Onwards to London

  With your eyes set on the South East, we head for the historic university city of Oxford. In this ancient town you can soak up the unique academic ambience as we explore the lawns, quads and spires of renowned Oxford University which once inspired the likes of Tolkien and Oscar Wilde. Enjoy a tour of the surrounding colleges where members of the Royal family studied before we are head for the fantastic capital of London home to a wealth of Royal History.

• Day 8 : Royal Palaces of London

  A trip to England wouldn't be complete without a day sightseeing in the magnificent capital city of London. We'll take in a wealth of Royal Palaces and locations with connections to England's famous monarchy; we start with a tour of the Mews or State rooms at Buckingham Palace**, before passing by St. James's Palace, Clarence House, the Banqueting House and more. Then, take a tour of Kensington Palace and visit the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain and Albert memorial. In the evening, we meet for our farewell dinner at Goring, a Michelin-starred restaurant adorned with Swarovski chandeliers – occasionally frequented by royalty!

• Day 9 : Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace

  Before we say goodbye, we have one final tour of two sites located to the West o this great city. First stop is the world's largest inhabited castle at Windsor Castle, the Queen's favoured residence.
