Arriving in South Queensferry gives you one of the best starts to a port day in Scotland; you’re already surrounded by iconic views of the Forth Bridges, with Edinburgh and the Kingdom of Fife within easy reach.

Our South Queensferry shore excursions are private, driver-guided tours planned around your ship’s schedule, so you can explore comfortably, avoid crowded group trips, and make the most of every hour ashore. Whether you’d like a city-focused day in Edinburgh, a scenic run through Fife’s coastal villages, a visit to Stirling Castle, or a whisky stop to round things off, we’ll tailor the route to match your interests and timing.

We’ll meet you at the port, take care of the transport and planning, and ensure a smooth, timely return, with plenty of flexibility for photo stops, viewpoints, and the quieter places that give Scotland its character.

If you’d like your day in South Queensferry to feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely memorable, book your private shore excursion and we’ll start shaping the perfect itinerary for you.
