Shore excursion Edinburgh Highlights half day tour

See the best of Edinburgh with a private driver and a private guide

This is the ideal tour for the discerning visitor who wants to make the most of their limited time in Edinburgh. Scottish born and bred, I have lived in Edinburgh since the age of 6 and can give you a unique insider view of my home city. You will be collected and returned to your port by a private luxurious limousine*. As your personal guide on this private tour, I will join you in the city centre and show you the main iconic sights with plenty of time to get out, take photos and admire my beautiful city. The history, culture and architecture, as well as what to eat and buy, will all be covered, plus anything more that interests you.
