London, Edinburgh & Dublin

Self-guided Dublin, Edinburgh, and London trip with an overnight sleeper train

Authentic Europe's London, Edinburgh & Dublin is an 8-day, 7-night self-guided trip that starts in Dublin and ends in London, taking in Edinburgh along the way. The first two days are spent in Dublin at leisure, then day 3 is a flight to Edinburgh that is not included in the tour price, followed by a day exploring Scotland's capital. Day 5 is the trip's centerpiece: an overnight ride on the Caledonian Sleeper from Edinburgh to London, with a Club Room and breakfast included, a service that does not run on Saturdays. The final days are spent visiting London, with a day at leisure before departure. Outside the sleeper train, the trip has no guided activities, and the description invites travelers to customize the route with extra nights in any of the three cities. This suits independent travelers who want a light itinerary framework and an interest in each city's history and attractions, rather than a fully guided tour.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has risen €112 since 4 Jul, to €1,212.

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. 2 of 5 points are 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

Day 3 of this self-guided trip is a flight from Dublin to Edinburgh, and that flight is not included in the tour price.
The Caledonian Sleeper does not operate on Saturdays, so the overnight train from Edinburgh to London depends on your travel dates.
The evidence gives a city location for the Edinburgh hotel, Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge, but not for Market Street Hotel or The Merrion Hotel, so which city each of those two serves is unclear from the evidence alone.
