See the best of Aberdeenshire at your own pace, with a local driver.
A&I Taxis has been running private sightseeing tours and day trips by taxi, minibus and coach since 1985, starting right at your door in Stonehaven and across Aberdeenshire. You pick the places, we do the driving and the local know-how, and you get a fair price agreed up front, with no meter ticking away.
Who it is for
Visitors and locals who want to see the area without paying for an expensive city-based tour company or driving themselves. Couples, families, small groups, and cruise passengers arriving into Aberdeen who want a half day or full day out.
Where we can take you
- Dunnottar Castle. Scotland’s most dramatic clifftop ruin, right on our doorstep at Stonehaven.
- Royal Deeside castles. Crathes, Drum and Craigievar, and the Balmoral country loved by the Royal Family.
- Whisky country. Distilleries across Aberdeenshire and Speyside. You taste, we drive.
