What to expect
After meeting your driver at Greenock, you'll settle into a private vehicle for the ninety-minute drive east to Edinburgh. The route crosses through working farmland and small towns before the city unfolds. Once in Edinburgh, your driver can suggest starting points—Princes Street, the Royal Mile, Holyrood—but the itinerary is yours. You'll have roughly four hours to walk, shop, eat, or visit paid attractions independently. Your driver will collect you at an agreed time for the return journey. Expect straightforward, reliable transport; the driver's knowledge surfaces in casual conversation rather than formal narration.
