    Don’t hesitate taking this trip it’s amazing!!

    Brian was terrific. There was not one thing that was anything but stellar. Brian was flexible , very entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. Whatever we wanted to see he made that happen. Brian made our trip to Scotland the best trip I’ve ever had and I’ve been traveling for 45 years. Thanks Brian you’re the best.

    Fantastic 2 Day Trip

    We took a two day tour with Brian from February 19-20, 2026. I can't recommend it highly enough. Brian is warm, personable, and charming. He customized the tour to our family's interests with stops at historic points of interest (Stirling Castle, Culloden), Outlander sites (you would have to ask my wife), and scenery (Glencoe, Glenfiddan). We were able to see a huge chunk of the country in less than 48 hours and never felt rushed or harried in the process. We all had a wonderful time. I can't recommend it highly enough and would happily book again in the future.

    The BEST TOUR IN SCOTLAND! ❤️ you Brian!

    The BEST tour you will take in Scotland!!!! Brian is the perfect guide to take on this gorgeous tour, it was a super comfortable ride, he thought of all the little details to make the trip extra special, and was super flexible with weather conditions and timing changes. He’s there to make sure you have the best experience ever and he went out of his way to make sure we were kept safe and sound from door to door. The only downside is that we miss it already!!!!! Thank you Brian for the best service!

    Amazing, Incredible, Fantastic

    Brian is AMAZING. He took care of us every step of the way. When poor weather conditions changed our plans, Brian was absolutely amazing and calm and made sure we had a great time regardless. He knew a ton of interesting facts and kept us entertained the whole drive. He was also super accommodating and understanding. Not to mention, the views and scenery we saw all around Scotland were to die for!! If you want to see the beauty of Scotland, definitely take this tour with Brian. He is seriously the nicest man ever ◡̈ We had the best time!! -G, M, & L ♡

    2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.

    How much does 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Edinburgh?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh?

    +

    Included: Bottled Water; Binoculars; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 209 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh offered in?

    +

    Is 2 Days Private Custom Tour of Scotland from Edinburgh wheelchair or stroller accessible?
