What optional excursions are available on day 3 of the tour?

We are interested in going to the Deanston distillery in Doune. Is there a bus that travels there? Would we have time to make a round trip to visit the distillery on day 3, and how much would the bus cost?

Which specific hotels are offered for the 3 and 4 star hotels? Upon arrival and drop off to hotel, if early morning, do we get to check in? Or a place to hold our bags til check in? Is the tour of the Edinburgh Castle included with this tour? What time does the train arrive In Edinburgh on the last day of tour (checking to coordinate flights). If we want to stay an extra day, are we able to book thru this tour?

We work with centrally located, quality hotels in both categories. The specific hotels are confirmed closer to the travel date, but all options are carefully selected for comfort, location, and guest satisfaction. If your flight arrives early in Edinburgh, please note that standard check-in times vary by hotel (usually around 2:00–3:00 PM). While early check-in cannot be guaranteed, the hotel will securely store your luggage until your room is ready so you can start exploring the city. Yes, a visit to Edinburgh Castle is included in your itinerary on Day 2. You'll have time to explore this historical landmark at your own pace. You'll take a morning train from Inverness back to Edinburgh, with arrival expected around midday to afternoon. This allows enough time to coordinate with your return flights. Final train timing will be confirmed closer to the date. Absolutely! We'd be happy to help you extend your stay by adding extra nights and adjusting the arrangements as needed.

- STM Tours LLCOperator•Written October 2025
  You will be able to enjoy the full experience and return on the same day, as the tour is designed for a same-day round trip. The cost of the bus transportation is already included in the original tour price, so no extra fees will apply for travel.
