Is the food in Scotland weird or are there options for picky eaters?
You will definitely have plenty of recognizable and delicious options! While we encourage you to try traditional dishes like shortbread or even haggis (the vegetarian version is often available and surprisingly tasty!), our itineraries always include options teens love, like great local cafes, fish and chips, and plenty of places with familiar food choices.

How much free time will I have to explore on my own?
Our trips strike a balance between guided activities and supervised free time. You will have opportunities for independent exploration in places like Edinburgh’s Old Town, typically in small groups, with clear boundaries and a check-in system to ensure safety. It’s the perfect way to practice independence while still being fully supported by our staff.
