Our best and long-lasting memories are made on family holidays.  However, travelling with children of all ages, or older family members, is as challenging as it is utterly rewarding. I Love Edinburgh Tours will therefore tailor your family friendly tour from Edinburgh to ensure that everyone in your group is catered for and will work with you to provide a bespoke itinerary for your group.

So what would your family like to do?

  • Get some sea air – explore beautiful beaches, go hunting for crabs in rock pools, take a boat trip to see local wildlife, discover traditional fishing harbours or walk out to a tidal island
  • Sample our local produce – go berry picking in the summer months, see how cheese is made, join a whisky distillery tour (some of the distilleries will allow children to do the tour depending on their age, if not, we can entertain them with a wee game of football or a scavenger hunt in the distillery grounds while the adults do the tour)
  • Family friendly cookery lesson – be wowed by the stunning Colstoun stately home and the delightful staff at their cookery school. As a family you can forage in the grounds for your ingredients (or have them handed to you on a plate!) and work together to create a lovely picnic or afternoon tea which you can take outside and eat on the lawn. There’s plenty of room in their 2000-acre grounds to explore and walk off your feast. https://www.colstoun.co.uk/
  • Burn off some energy with an activity – from toddlers to teenagers there’s some tremendous ways to use up some of that pent-up energy. Outdoors we could do snow tubing, ropes courses, farm parks or wake boarding. Or how about a family sea kayaking session on the stunning Firth of Forth with https://www.duneideannseakayaking.com/ where you’re likely to come across some of the local wildlife.  And indoors we could take you rock climbing or trampolining to name just a couple. Don’t worry there’s always a café nearby for those not feeling quite so adventurous!
  • Discover some hidden history – from castles to stately homes, or beautiful chapels to the battlefields of Bannockburn.  They’re always full of nooks and crannies that little ones love to explore.
  • Take in a museum – there are some original and interactive museums in the area covering everything from coal mining to the secret bunker from the cold war
  • Follow in the footsteps of JK Rowling – with a Harry Potter tour you can explore the sights of Edinburgh that were the inspiration for the Harry Potter books and films
