Private Tour of Edinburgh

55 tours · €61–€1517 per person · ★ 4.9

Every private tour of Edinburgh here was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 55 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €61 per person for a personalised city walk to €1517 per group for a private Skye and Highlands trip with transport. An Edinburgh private guide on a custom walk plans the route around your interests, so you help decide what to see before you meet.

A quick way to choose: on custom city walks, hotel pickup means meeting on foot, with no private vehicle included. For a private Highlands tour from Edinburgh, check admission costs: several trips leave castle tickets or the Loch Ness cruise out of the price. The Skye trip includes guiding and transport, but you pay for your accommodation separately. The best reviewed private tours in Edinburgh come first below.
