4.Private Tour – Edinburgh to St Andrews, Dunnottar Castle & Dundee

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 9 to 12 hours (approx.)

Travel from Edinburgh with a private guide, stopping at South Queensferry, St Andrews, Dunnottar Castle, and Dundee. Lewis and John tailor the day when possible, add local stories, and provide edited professional photographs. The long route takes 9 to 12 hours, with castle entry and lunch paid separately.

“We chose this tour because of the locations it would hit and the awesome price. It delivered on both, but we didn’t expect our guide Lewis to be an even better aspect of it! Can’t overstate how kind, amenable and knowledgeable he was. Dunnottar and St Andrew’s were incredible, and made only more so by the company and information he gave us. Can’t recommend this company enough!”
