Book your day out

Sightseeing by taxi or minibus, a fair price agreed up front. Get in touch and we’ll plan your day:


See the best of Aberdeenshire at your own pace, with a local driver.

Dash Cabs runs private sightseeing tours and day trips by taxi or minibus, 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’s 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.
  • The coast and fishing villages. Stonehaven harbour, Dunnottar, and along to Catterline, Gourdon and Johnshaven.
  • Aberdeen sightseeing. The granite city, the harbour and the beach.
  • Castle tours. Dunnottar, Crathes, Drum and Craigievar and the Royal Deeside castles, in a day built around you.
  • Golf days. Aberdeenshire’s championship links and local courses, clubs carried and a driver ready when you are.
  • Race days. Perth Races and other meetings, door to door there and safely home again.
  • Your own itinerary. Tell us what you would like to see and we will build the day around it.

Why book with us

  • Local drivers who know the roads, the history and the best stops
  • Door to door from your home, hotel, cruise ship or the airport
  • Travel by car or minibus; bigger groups by coach with A&I Taxis, up to 63 seats
