Cruise itineraries are tight, and time in port is precious. Choosing a private shore excursion ensures you see more of Scotland with none of the stress. Instead of following a large group, you’ll enjoy a custom itinerary created specifically for you, with a local driver‑guide who knows the quickest routes, and the best viewpoints.
If you want to explore Edinburgh Castle, wander the medieval closes of the Old Town, or take a drive into the Highlands, a private tour offers unbeatable flexibility. Saltire Executive Travel specialises in premium, comfortable, and reliable private tours beginning directly from your cruise port.
