Explore at your own pace with a private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide at your service. With your private vehicle and the personalized attention of your driver and English-speaking guide, you will visit Edinburgh and its legendary castle in comfort and privacy.
History and beauty unite in the proud city of Edinburgh. Travel along the Leith Walk to arrive at Princes Street, with its array of fine stores on one side and the beautiful Princes Street Gardens on the other.
Visit Edinburgh Castle, home of Scottish kings and queens for centuries, perched on its rocky site 445 feet above the city. This castle has witnessed many tense moments in its thousand-year history. Inside, don't miss the 15th-century Royal Palace and the apartment in which Mary, Queen of Scots, gave birth to the future King James VI of Scotland. This monarch also became James I of England.
Driving through the Old Town, you will see the historic stretch of road known as the Royal Mile, including the Canongate and Lawnmarket, with delightful multi-storied houses and quaint side streets. Pass Holyrood House -- the official Scottish residence of the King -- before returning to the pier.
Capacity: 2 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
Notes:
Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, and many steps. Expect long lines to enter the castle and exhibits. Due to the popularity of the exhibit, you will likely not have time to see the Crown Jewels. Random bag searches may be in place. Larger bags or backpacks are not allowed in the castle. Guides are only permitted to provide commentary in certain areas within Edinburgh Castle. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Private cars are ordered per vehicle (not per person), so only one person in the party needs to order the vehicle. The price shown is the total cost for the vehicle, driver, English-speaking guide, and applicable entrance fees for up to two guests. Private vehicle reservations are non-refundable if canceled within three days prior to the start of your cruise. Private vehicle bookings made on board are non-refundable once confirmed.
