Are there taxis readily available at the port in Edinburgh?

[Erin Dreamer]

Some of the private taxis for hire are rather pricey. I am wondering if anyone has taken a taxi that is lined up at the port for a two hour or so tour. (1) I am wondering if there are taxis that do line up. (2) Is there a minimal time for such a taxi tour? (3) Do they charge by the hour? Thank you VERY much for any information. Erin Dreamer

There is more than one port for Edinburgh, so you might get better answers if you could specify exactly where your ship will be.

Which ship are you on Erin Dreamer then I can answer your question. As marylizcat said, there are 4 ports for Edinburgh

Of course, I should have mentioned that we are planning ahead for 2019,and we will be tendered. We will be on Celebrity Reflection. I thought there was one dock that ships used when transferring passengers who have been tendered in Edinburgh, but I think I just read that there are two possibilities? Because it is too early to be scheduled, I won't know which port, but generally speaking are there taxis waiting to take passengers who have not booked a taxi? I am wondering what an average price might be. I prefer at this port not to book ahead. I have some mobility issues and just in case there are rough seas, I might find getting into a small boat challenging.For that reason I don't want to book ahead but just get a taxi that day. Thank you.
