Docking at Leith Cruise Port puts you in a brilliant position to explore both Edinburgh and the characterful waterfront district of Leith itself, all without wasting your day on logistics.

Our Leith shore excursions are private, driver-guided tours designed around your ship’s schedule, giving you a relaxed, flexible way to see Scotland’s capital and beyond. Whether you’re keen on Edinburgh’s historic highlights, a scenic coastal escape, a visit to St Andrews, castles in the surrounding countryside, or a whisky experience, we’ll tailor the itinerary to suit your interests and the time you have in port.

With your own guide and private vehicle, you can avoid crowded group tours, stop where you want, and include a few quieter local gems that most visitors miss. We’ll meet you at Leith, handle the planning, and ensure a smooth, timely return to the ship, leaving you with great photos and a genuinely memorable day ashore.

If you’d like to make the most of your time in Edinburgh, book your private Leith shore excursion and we’ll help you plan the ideal route.
