Private Scottish Tours

See Scotland at your own pace

A coach tour runs on someone else's schedule. A private tour with YourCabit runs on yours — the same driver and vehicle for the day, a route built around what you actually want to see, and no fixed departure time to catch.

Where our tours go

From half-day trips around Edinburgh to full days out to the Highlands, whisky country, or the West Coast — see the full list of tours below, each with a fixed per-vehicle price rather than a per-person one, which usually works out cheaper for groups of three or more.

Built around your group, not a bus timetable

Want longer at one stop and less time at another? Need to skip a stop because of the weather? A private driver can adjust the day as it happens, which a scheduled coach tour simply cannot.

Multi-day and custom itineraries

If none of our standard tours match what you have in mind, call us directly — multi-day Highland routes and custom itineraries can usually be arranged with enough notice.

Booking a tour

Choose the Tour tab in the booking widget above, pick your tour and date, and send an enquiry. We confirm the exact pickup time and any route details with you directly.

Choosing the right tour for your time

Half-day tours (around Edinburgh itself) suit visitors with limited time, while full-day tours out to the Highlands or whisky country need the better part of a day to do properly — factor your return travel plans into which tour makes sense.

Combining tours with an existing itinerary

A number of our tour bookings come from visitors already staying in Edinburgh or Glasgow for a conference or event, using a free day to see more of the country — the pickup can be arranged from your hotel directly.

What happens after you book

You'll get a confirmation email immediately with your driver's details sent through 24 hours before pickup, once a driver has been formally assigned to your job rather than just accepted in principle. On the day, your driver will confirm they're on the way with a short message, so you're never wondering whether the booking actually went through.

If your plans change

Journeys can be rescheduled free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup — just reply to your confirmation email or call the number on it directly. Inside 24 hours, get in touch as early as possible; we'll always try to accommodate a change even if we can't guarantee it at short notice.

A straightforward complaint policy

If something genuinely goes wrong — a late driver, a booking error, anything short of what we promised — tell us. We'd rather know and put it right than have you quietly never book again.

How pricing actually works

Every price is built from three things: distance, vehicle type, and any add-ons like a child seat or Meet & Greet. There is no base call-out fee stacked on top, no peak-time multiplier, and nothing added after the fact — the number shown at booking is the complete number, luggage and passengers included as standard within each vehicle's stated capacity.

Vehicle options explained

Standard saloons suit up to four passengers with modest luggage; estate and larger vehicles handle bigger groups or more bags; executive options add a higher specification of vehicle for the same route at a modest premium. The booking tool shows exactly what's available and priced for your specific journey once your route is calculated, rather than a generic list that may not actually be available on the day.

Licensed, insured, accountable

Every driver is licensed through the relevant local authority and DBS-checked before ever taking a booking. This isn't a marketing claim we make lightly — it's a minimum bar, and one a surprising number of informal or unlicensed operators in the private hire space do not consistently meet.
