We can organise a bespoke private tour from Edinburgh ports. Our bespoke shore excursions from Edinburgh are tailored to your interests and typically cover more attractions than organised group tours.
There are four ports and anchorages that serve cruise ships visiting Edinburgh. At Rosyth and Leith ships come alongside and at Newhaven and South Queensferry ships anchor and passengers are tendered to the shore.
We offer tours from all four ports and your tour guide will be waiting on the quayside. Typically an Edinburgh shore tour starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm, however that is influenced by the arrival and departure time of your ship and we can be as flexible as you need us to be on the day.
From Edinburgh it is possible to explore Edinburgh, Stirling, St Andrews and Perthshire in a day trip. Each shore tour is unique so please let us know your dates and what you would like to see on your visit to Scotland.

There are four ports that serve Edinburgh (Rosyth, South Queensferry, Newhaven and Leith). But don’t worry, we will track your ship and will meet you outside the main entrance of the ports. Your guide will be identifiable with a signboard with your name
