"Hogmanay" as it is known locally, has always been much more than an excuse to have a party for the Scots. It is more of a national festival that has to been seen to be believed.

OUR FOUR and FIVE DAY NON-STOP PARTY TOUR:

New Years Eve with PP is not only HUGE; it is quite a special day. We start the party first thing in the morning with our famous Kiwi/Aussie/SA New Years celebrations. At 11am and 1pm we crack the bubbly for midnight back in NZ and Oz, then party on well into the afternoon crossing the Aussie time zones until the WA new year. At dusk it’s your turn to join the thousands of mad Scots for the biggest street party in Europe - a real marathon. Will you make it to midnight?
It is not just New Years Eve that is a party marathon. With PP's Hogmanay tour, it is a 4/5 day party from start to finish!!
• On our coach tour - drive up to Edinburgh during the day on the 30th - with plenty of refreshments on board, it is usually a great warm up.
• On the train tour - a high speed train will whisk you from Kings Cross in London to central Edinburgh, only minutes walk from all hotels. TRAIN SPECIAL: Just £20 extra than coach tours secures your seat - hurry places limited!
• Or make your own way there and join us at your choice of hotel, B&B or hostel.

Immediately after checking into your city centre accommodation the real party begins with our exclusive PP pre-Hogmanay party at Edinburgh's top nightclub: the Espionage, which is open to 5am! Don't go too hard, it's a big day on the 31st, with the PP warm up party from 10am, and you need to last until midnight at least! New Years Eve is always special - who will you kiss at midnight? Then on the 1st we give you a few hours to clear the head with an excursion to Stirling, the famous "Braveheart" countryside, before returning to the city for our PP New Year's Day party at Edinburgh’s famous Frankenstein pub. 2009 will certainly start off with a bang! Finally on Friday January 2nd we all depart, and head home by either coach, train or your own means. The good news is you have the rest of the weekend to recover – and you are most likely to need it! This is one of the great tours after the famous Pamplona Tours, Running of the Bulls Tours, Oktoberfest Tours.
