Presbyterian Heritage Tour This tour combines the principal Scottish sites connected with John Knox with a visit to the isle of Iona which is, in our opinion, the most spiritual and peaceful of all of the pilgrimage destinations that we have visited. As far as we know, we are the only tour operator that offers a two night stay on the island, all others offering either a week's retreat or a day trip (which, after crossing Mull, allows the visitor only a couple of hours on the island). We can amend the itinerary to suit your own preferences. For example, if you would like to visit the church in Perth where John Knox preached, we could visit there instead of Dunfermline.
