The day at Rothiemurchus Estate is essentially an "on your own" day. Other than a tour of the estate, what is there really for adults to do? I can tell you there is nothing for my mom to do there. She's not interested in Archery and they don't offer the highland pony rides for the adults and I can tell you, those highland pony's are more than capable of carrying adults. I rode horses and ponies for over 20 years so I know that they are capable of carrying adults so why is this activity only offered to children? If we wanted to do this during our time here, we would have to go off on our own and do it.
Here's an interesting comparison for you. If you look at the South East Asia trip. It starts at $5,599/per adult and Disney has it "listed" as 12 days/11 nights. But when you actually really look into the trip details. You are only getting 9 days of actual guided touring time. You have no official guided tour time on your arrival or departure day and you have an on your own day in the middle of the trip with no guided touring that day. Break that down and it works out to a cost of $622 per guided tour day, since that's what I'm paying to go on this trip for, guided touring time. I'm doing South East Asia with
Nat Geo. We're paying $6,495/per adult and it's a 13 day adventure. We have activities with our guides on our arrival day and we are touring with our guides on our departure day. We have no on our own days anywhere on the trip. We have on our own time but no full days of on our own time. That breaks down to $499 per guided tour day. I think even though we have the bigger sticker price, we're actually getting the better deal for our dollar overall.
