Our main goal for the day was Lindisfarne Island. This tour from our research had the most time on the island. Be warned the que for the ladies loo takes time!! You don't have time to visit both the "castle" and the priory or the town. I was walking a bit slow as wanted to soak in the vibes. (Possibly for my purposes I should have hired a car so I could spend all day) The driver once understanding my purpose and link to the island was amazing and tired to point out specific information for me ( I was sitting at the front) both at the island and in the surrounding area - including pointing out road signs with our family name on, which was appreciated. Alnwick castle was good - but again time is limited here and you could easily spend a whole day.

This tour was a wonderful day trip out of Edinburgh! Howard was a knowledgeable and accommodating guide. There was just the right amount of time at each stop. We enjoyed walking across the border into Northumberland, and Alnwick castle in particular was spectacular. Keeping on schedule was important because crossing to Holy Island is dependent on the tide, but Howard did a good job or organizing the schedule. The day sped by because there never seemed to be overly long stretches on the bus. The small group configuration worked well for us, and we would highly recommend this tour.
