Can we book the hotel in Edinburg the night before the tour begins? If so what hotel please - we will be arriving day before from US

Once you have a reservation built, we can request a pre-night with the same hotel that the tour starts in. The first hotel is The Murrayfield Hotel on our Scottish & Irish Sampler - 7 Days/6 Nights! This is an approximation based on the hotel's contract rate: $379.00 total. However, at the time that the hotel confirms the booking, the rate may increase based on seasonality and availability.
