Overview:  Join RTT Travel for the Diamond Jubilee of the foremost Military festival in the world – set against the backdrop of the world-famous Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland!  See the whole performance from your reserved seats – the military bands, choruses and gymnasts from all over the world who come to astound the spectators in front of Edinburgh Castle. For 60 years, this has taken place.  Every year over one million people view the Tattoo on television.  Be one of the 200,000 in 2010 privileged to watch it in person! 

RTT will delight you with a 3-day visit including free time to see many of the highlights of Edinburgh during the Military Tattoo. 

Day 1:  Travel directly from Ramstein Air Base with our RTT Tour Escort on the airport shuttle or meet the group at the Frankfurt Airport prior for check in.  Fly from Frankfurt to Edinburgh, departing at about noon, and transfer to your hotel in downtown Edinburgh. Since your planned arrival is about mid-afternoon, you will have plenty of time to explore!  Evening meal and overnight at your hotel.

Day 2:  After breakfast in your hotel, use your free time, with some guidance from our RTT escort, to experience the historical and cultural details of Edinburgh, along with tales of local personages and legends of Scotland.  The afternoon is also free to experience Edinburgh, as you wish.  From the Castle and the Royal Mile to the royal residence at Holyrood Palace, from the Dynamic Earth to the elegant shops on Princes Street, you will have the chance to explore Edinburgh and experience the exuberant lifestyle for yourself - in shops or in pubs, as you like it! Maybe you’ll decide to visit Edinburgh Castle – the formidable fortress which dominates the city, or Holyrood Palace at the other end of the Royal Mile.   Military Tattoo tickets for the event tonight are included in your tour package. Dinner and hotel overnight in Edinburgh.

Day 3:  After breakfast in your hotel and check out, transfer to the airport for your planned evening return flight to Frankfurt.  There may be time before your airport transfer to explore further the surrounding areas of Edinburgh and Scotland.
