British Pullman Train: London - Edinburgh

London to Edinburgh on the British Pullman with Windsor Castle and guided tours

Firebird Tours operates this 8-day private tour blending luxury train travel with guided discovery of British heritage. Starting in London and ending in Edinburgh, the itinerary spans four nights in central London and three in Edinburgh. The centerpiece is Day 3 aboard the British Pullman, a luxury heritage train that departs London Victoria on a round-trip through the Kent countryside, featuring a champagne reception, five-course lunch prepared by Head Chef Jon Freeman, and an interactive murder-mystery experience. Between London-based days exploring Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and Windsor Castle (including the State Apartments and St. George's Chapel), guests enjoy an evening Jack the Ripper walking tour of the East End. 5 hours. In Edinburgh, a guided walk covers the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle before an evening Ghost Tour of the Old Town. Day 7 is left free for independent exploration. The pace is relaxed, with a private guide or driver handling most logistics.

Price history

Across 4 checks, this price has risen US$132 since 4 Jul, to US$5,176.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 1 of 4 point is a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.

What to know before you look closer

The Jack the Ripper walk on Day 2 is a group tour of up to 16 people, not a private experience like most other activities on the itinerary.
Day 5 travel to Edinburgh is by standard 2nd Class rail service, not the luxury British Pullman; the Pullman operates only from London Victoria through Kent.
The single supplement is minimal (USD 5058 from-price versus USD 5044 double), suggesting single availability is limited or highly priced in certain departures.
