Distill a bottle of Gin on mini copper stills
What makes this experience unique is the fact that it is a very hands on, bespoke, personal and very knowledgeable workshop like no other in the country. Where you learn of the workings of a micro distillery, get to taste different spirit profiles, you also get to design and make your very own bottle of gin to take home with you after the class.

Private Greyfriars Kirkyard history tour
The Greyfriars Kirkyard tour is perfect for everyone who wants to know more about Scottish history. The people buried within the Kirkyard made Edinburgh what it was. We'll share some of the most important, most interesting and most surprising stories about these rather fascinating people. And we'll do this in an entertaining, professional and respectful manner. Greyfriars is a fascinating place that has links to some incredible stories from Scotland’s history (not 'just' Edinburgh's history). Their stories are the stories of Edinburgh. You’ll learn about these characters as you stand only inches away from where their bodies lie buried. Hear the stories behind martyred Covenanters, an amusing artist, an infamous ghost, grave robbers, the Irish murderers Burke and Hare, a tortured spy and, of course, the devoted Skye Terrier, Greyfriars Bobby. Are you ready to ‘meet’ the ‘Dead of Old Edinburgh’?

Explore Edinburgh's Asian Quarter & Local Scottish Cuisine
As locals who love to eat, we've learned that Edinburgh has a huge amount of diversity to offer on the culinary front beyond just traditional dishes - we want to show it to you! I (William) will be hosting you. I want to share my passion for eating in Edinburgh by showcasing hidden gems in the food industry while supporting local family businesses. We've handpicked each dish based on personal favourites, while taking in mind the history and heritage of each location. We've spent the last year researching the tour, visiting our favourite locations and getting to know the owners and their stories. There are a lot of hidden gems in Edinburgh that people don't know about and we've included dishes you wouldn't expect to eat in Scotland. On this tour you'll be away from the tourist traps, with changing locations and dishes based on what's available in the city on that day. Once we come to an end, we'll provide personal recommendations to help you make the most of your vacation!

Private Scottish Highlands, Castles, Glencoe Tour from Edinburgh
A fully private Scottish Highlands day trip from Edinburgh — your group only, never shared, in a new 4x4 with a panoramic sunroof. No coach crowds, no fixed script: your local driver-guide Jimmy has 60 reviews, every one 5 stars. Walk the walls of mighty Stirling Castle. Hand-feed the famous hairy Highland cows at Kilmahog. Stand beneath Glencoe's Three Sisters — filming country for Skyfall, Harry Potter and Outlander. Photograph Linlithgow Palace (Outlander's Wentworth Prison) and the towering Kelpies. And between Killin and Glencoe we pull over at a secret loch the tour buses don't know — we never publish the name, they'd only follow us. Water and snacks are included all day — plus a wee dram for the road home. We pack more into one day than any other driver: castles, coos, waterfalls and Glencoe, all at your pace. Every day is customisable — your day, your Scotland. Rated 5.0 by every single guest — dates sell out fast, book early.

Beyond Edinburgh (Half Day Tour)
Discover what is beyond the city walls on your very own half day private tour of the surrounding areas of Edinburgh in our superb Land Rover Discovery. Our flexible routes takes you to the imposing Crichton Castle or Craigmillar Castle, the enchanting Rosslyn Chapel. After seeing some of the sites, we head to Dalkeith Country Park and the Restoration yard for lunch and a bit of shopping. Based on one of our other tours, this has proven to be a superb option for the traveler that wants to venture out of Edinburgh City centre, to see the sites, possibly do a distillery tour and even be dropped of at some of the great shopping locations Edinburgh has to offer. We have toured antique stores, art galleries, and even a few coffee shops. Jokingly nicknamed the Golf Widows Tours by some of the guests, this offers one of the best ways to do something with a later start and earlier finish than other private driving tours with a price that reflects this (10am Start - 3/4pm drop off).

Edinburgh tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Edinburgh experiences through SimilarTours

How far in advance should I book a private tour from Edinburgh?

Most of these multi-day private tours fill up 4-8 weeks ahead, especially the longer ones (5-7 days) and anything tied to a festival like Up Helly Aa. If you know your dates, booking 6-8 weeks out gives you the best pick of drivers and itineraries - check before you go since peak season varies.

Are private guided tours worth the cost here?

Yes, if you want to see beyond the castle. A chauffeur or guide handles the driving (it's left-hand roads you're not used to), knows where to stop for photos and lunch, and can pivot the route based on weather. The Highlands especially reward local knowledge - they know which glens are worth a detour and which distilleries let you actually taste something good.

What's the best time to visit Edinburgh for tours?

May through September is warm-ish and the days are long, so you get the most out of those 3-7 day Highland tours. Winter (November-February) is moody and atmospheric but the Highlands can be rough for driving, and you'll lose daylight hours fast.

How long should I spend in the Highlands versus Edinburgh itself?

Most people do 2-3 days exploring the city (castle, Royal Mile, nearby lochs), then spend 3-5 days out on a guided tour. The tours here assume you're based in Edinburgh and heading out - very few are pure city tours.

Do these tours include distillery visits or just drive-bys?

The whisky-focused tours explicitly include distillery visits and tastings - check the tour details before booking. Standard Highland tours may stop at a distillery but won't always include a full tour or tasting - that varies by operator.

Can I customize a tour itinerary or do I book a fixed route?

SimilarTours shows several "bespoke" and "private" options where you work with the operator to design your own 5-day route. Otherwise most tours (Skye, Loch Ness, Islay) follow a set path with small tweaks available - ask the operator what flexibility they offer.

Is Edinburgh easy to get around without booking a tour?

The city itself is walkable and has trains and buses. But getting to Skye, Shetland, or the remote whisky regions? You'll need a car or a guided tour - the distances are bigger than they look on a map, and single-track roads require local confidence.
