Aberdeen Private Balmoral & Deeside Tour with Qualified Guide

About this activity

Welcome to A Path Less Known Tours! I'm Jamie, your qualified STGA Green Badge tourist guide, and I'd love to show you the beauty and history of Royal Deeside.

Join me on a private 8-hour tour from Aberdeen, departing at 9:00 AM. Discover stunning Highland scenery, charming villages and the royal connections of this remarkable region.

We'll visit Balmoral Castle Estate, the Royal Family's Scottish retreat, explore picturesque Ballater and enjoy the beautiful Falls of Feugh.

Along the way, I'll share local stories, history and insights that bring these places to life. Optional walks, historical sites and photography stops can be included depending on your interests and available time.

This isn't simply a sightseeing drive. It's a relaxed, personal experience with your own qualified Scottish guide.

Balmoral admission is not included, and access is subject to seasonal opening arrangements.

I look forward to showing you a path less known!
