How long are your private day tours?

Our tours run 8–12 hours depending on distance and stops. We normally leave Edinburgh around 08:00 and return in the early evening, but timing is flexible.

Can we customise the route?

Yes—every tour is 100 % private. Tell us your wish-list when booking and we’ll adjust the itinerary, photo stops and lunch breaks just for you.

What’s included in the price?

Price covers your driver-guide, private vehicle, fuel, and door-to-door pickup in Edinburgh. Entry tickets, food and optional activities are extra.

How far in advance should we book?

Weekends and summer dates can sell out 4–6 weeks ahead. If you have a specific day in mind, we recommend reserving as soon as your travel dates are fixed.

Why Choose a Private Day Tour?

• Total flexibility — stop for photos, coffee or a spontaneous detour whenever you like.

• Driver-guide expertise — hear local stories you won’t find in any guidebook.

• Door-to-door comfort — we collect you from your Edinburgh hotel or cruise terminal and drop you back after the tour.

• Private vehicle — travel in a modern Mercedes people-carrier with just your party on board.

• Tailored pacing — spend longer at the sights that interest you and skip the ones that don’t.
