Top Edinburgh Private Sightseeing Tours - page 23

This tour was the perfect way to see all the highlights of Edinburgh. Sarah was a fantastic guide and was a wealth of knowledge. She also suggested many vegan restaurants for us and fun shopping areas. Book this today, you won’t be disappointed. Make sure to get Sarah if you can, she was absolutely amazing!!!

Taimur was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area. More importantly though, he tailored the experience to what our family (with small children) needed. Our children get motion sickness, so he came prepared with bags and wipes. When the highland roads became too windy for them, he modified his tour to accommodate their needs. When the kids’ batteries ran out, he brought us back to the hotel early while still pointing out the important landmarks along the way. We felt as though we were able to make the most of the experience despite the motion sickness, rain, and dwindling social batteries of our children. Highly recommend for a tailored Scottish highlands experience!

We traveled to Scotland from the America last month (over New Years). My 3 friends and I did the private Highlands tour with Taimur as a tour guide/driver. The tour itself was great but Taimur made the trip incredible. We saw so many amazing places (Luss being our favorite)—it was totally comfortable and relaxing but also stimulating thanks to Taimur. We would go from beautiful place to beautiful place at our own pace, and Taimur had wonderful stories and insights at every stop. When we wanted to be quiet and just soak it in, we could. But when we wanted to learn and absorb information, Taimur was there to tell us stories and answer any and every question. Many of the highlights weren’t even the sites themselves, but instead the conversation and funny banter we had with Taimur on the longer parts of the drive. As Americans, we came to Scotland without much context and knowledge, but we left with what feels like a true and deep understanding of Edinburgh, Glasgow, the highlands and Scotland itself. 5 out of 5 stars for the tour— 10 out of 5 stars for Taimur. My brother is going to Scotland with his family this Summer and I told him this trip with Taimur is absolutely mandatory. (Not to mention my fiancée and I are literally planning a summer Scotland trip for next year so we can do the tour with Taimur again and bring our daughter this time.)

Fab experience in Edinburgh the drivers of the city sightseeing were simply amazing, really friendly, good spirit, helpful and knowledgeable. My children and I had the best time going through the various sights. Thank you very much for a lovely break in your amazing city

Alan was a wealth of knowledge about Edinburgh; he know all the stories to go along with each location. He was on time, and very flexible adjusting the itinerary to accommodate my wife’s mobility issues. We will not hesitate to book again when we return in 2026.

We had an exceptional experience with David! He worked to ensure the tour was targeted to the things we wanted to see and spent ample time at each stop explaining the history and significance with our two teenage boys. I would highly recommend a tour!

This was the perfect introduction to Edinburgh. Our guide was Doug Scott, a local resident, who walked us around the city to see the highlights. He gave us a bit of history, a bit of humor, and some great suggestions for what to see after our time together. He went at our pace and answered our questions. Not only did we get the historical side of things, we also got a local's view of the new monarch, political climate, and his feelings for his town in general.

Great way to get an overview of the beautiful city of Edinburgh in four hours with a very knowledgable guide. Saf obviously loves the town and its rich history. He’s a skilled driver and knows how to take great photos of his customers capturing the best scenic views in the background.
