Exclusive Scottish Shore Excursions for Cruise Guests

Step ashore and experience the very best of Scotland with The Scottish Tour Guide’s private shore excursions, created especially for cruise guests arriving into Greenock (Glasgow), Newhaven, South Queensferry, and Rosyth (Edinburgh). Whether your ship docks on the east coast or the west, our team of friendly, passionate local guides are ready to turn your stop in Scotland into an adventure you’ll never forget.

From the moment you disembark, we’ll be there to welcome you at the port and whisk you away on a private, fully guided tour that’s all about you, your interests, your pace, and your idea of the perfect day in Scotland. Forget crowded buses and rushed sightseeing; this is personal, comfortable travel, giving you the freedom to explore at your leisure while we handle all the logistics.

Our shore excursions are designed to fit perfectly around your cruise schedule, with guaranteed pick-up and drop-off directly at your ship, so you can relax knowing everything runs smoothly and on time. We’ll make sure you get back to port with plenty of time to spare, and a camera full of memories.

Scotland offers something for every kind of traveller. History lovers can wander through ancient castles, and nature enthusiasts can breathe in the wild beauty of the Highlands, take in the views at Loch Lomond, or snap photos of a few friendly Highland cows along the way. And of course, no Scottish experience is complete without a wee dram of whisky at one of our traditional distilleries!

Every tour is private and fully customisable, so whether you want to dive deep into Scotland’s fascinating history, chase coastal scenery, or enjoy a relaxing day filled with great stories and good company, we’ll create a day that’s just right for you.

At The Scottish Tour Guide, we believe every moment ashore should count. Our private Scottish shore excursions combine local knowledge, warm hospitality, and flexible itineraries to give you an authentic taste of Scotland and memories that will last long after your cruise sails away.
