A 4×4 Range Rover or executive vehicle, collected from your Edinburgh hotel door and returned there at the end of the day.
Tours From Edinburgh: Your Questions Answered
Quick answers on how long each tour takes, what it costs, where we collect you and how far you can realistically go from Edinburgh.
What are the best tours from Edinburgh?
For one day, the Highlands & Loch Ness tour covers the most ground: Rannoch Moor, Glencoe and Loch Ness in about 12 hours. For castles and whisky choose Stirling and Loch Lomond, and for golf and the coast choose St Andrews. With two or three days, a multi-day tour to the Highlands or the Isle of Skye lets you see far more without rushing.
How long are tours from Edinburgh?
Our day tours from Edinburgh last 8, 10 or 12 hours, door to door. Multi-day tours run for two days with one night away, or three days with two nights away, and bespoke trips can be as long as you like.
Can you do a 2 day tour from Edinburgh?
Yes. Our 2-day Scottish Highlands tour covers Glencoe, Ben Nevis, Loch Ness and the Cairngorms with one night in the Highlands, from £1,250 per vehicle excluding accommodation. You can also stay in your Edinburgh hotel and combine two day tours instead.
Is 3 days enough for the Isle of Skye from Edinburgh?
Yes, and it is the shortest trip we recommend. Skye is around five hours from Edinburgh each way, so a 3-day tour gives you a full day on the island, with Glencoe on the way north and Loch Ness on the way home. It costs from £1,850 per vehicle, excluding accommodation.
How much do private tours from Edinburgh cost?
Day tours cost £600 to £680 per vehicle for up to four guests. 2-day tours start from £1,250 and 3-day tours from £1,850 per vehicle, excluding accommodation. Every price is per vehicle, not per person, and is confirmed in writing before you book.
Where do tours from Edinburgh pick up?
From your hotel, apartment or guest house anywhere in Edinburgh, from Edinburgh Airport or from the cruise terminal. At the end of the tour we bring you back to the same door.
Can we combine day tours into a longer trip?
Yes. Stay in your Edinburgh hotel and pair two or three day tours, or let us turn them into a point-to-point trip with accommodation arranged. Tell us your dates on our custom tours page and we will suggest the best order.
What is included in the price?
Your private vehicle and local driver-guide, hotel pickup and drop-off, fuel, parking and road tolls, plus bottled water and phone charging. Entry tickets, meals and accommodation are paid separately.
What is your cancellation policy?
Our cancellation and refund terms are set out in full in our terms and conditions, so you can read them before you book.
