Log in
Bespoke private shore excursions from every major Scottish cruise port — Queensferry, Leith, Newhaven, Greenock and Invergordon. Your itinerary, your pace, your own driver-guide. No coach parks. No queues. No missed ships.
Every itinerary is built backwards from your all-aboard time, with a built-in 60–90 minute safety buffer. We do not miss ships.
No coach park, no headcount, no group photo at the visitor centre. You step off the ship, into your private vehicle, and you're moving.
Send us your day in port and a few interests. We send back a draft route — castles, distilleries, golf, photography, family graves, anything.
Pick your port, see what's reachable inside an all-aboard, and ask us to build the day around it. Ships we regularly meet include Viking, Silversea, Regent, Princess, Cunard, Holland America and Saga.
Tendered into Hawes Pier in the shadow of the Forth Bridges. We meet you on the slipway and you're into the Old Town in 25 minutes.
Direct from the Ocean Terminal. Five minutes to the Royal Yacht Britannia, 15 to the city centre, an hour and a half to St Andrews.
Newhaven Harbour, just round the coast from Leith. Ten minutes from the city, hassle-free pickup at the gate.
Ocean Terminal in Greenock — gateway to the West Coast and Loch Lomond. We'll have you on the bonnie banks in 45 minutes.
The far north. Cruise terminal at the Cromarty Firth, 25 minutes to Inverness. Ideal for Loch Ness, Culloden and a proper Highland day.
Real itinerary, recently run for a Viking Sky tender call. Ship in at 07:00, all-aboard 16:30. Total private-vehicle cost for two guests: £420 — including a private city guide for two hours.
Tender ashore. Driver waiting on the slipway with your name on a board. Bottled water and a coffee thermos in the car.
Ahead of the coach groups. Your private guide meets you at the esplanade. 90 minutes inside.
Driver re-positions while you walk down to Holyrood. Quick optional stops at St Giles or the Writer's Museum.
We book a table somewhere properly Scottish — not a tour-bus pit-stop. (We have suggestions for every budget.)
Photo stop under the Rail Bridge with the ship in view. Time for an ice cream on the harbour.
Comfortably ahead of last tender. All-aboard at 16:30 — you're onboard at 15:45.
Tell us the ship, the port, the date, the all-aboard time, and what you'd love to see. A real human writes back with a plan, a price, and a backup plan in case the weather gets Scottish.
Ask about pricing, routes, luggage, or anything else. I'll get you a straight answer.
