Traveler reviews
Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Tour and Guide!
Cara, our driver and guide was tremendous. She had so much knowledge not just on the Outlander filming, but also so knowledgeable on Scottish history. I could not have asked for a better tour guide than Cara. I would definitely take a different tour of her's and highly recommend her to future travelers. The van was comfortable and clean.
Far exceeded expectations
A dream come true experience. We saw so many of the memorable filming locations and got to spend plenty of time at each to get photos and visit the area. Steve was a FANTASTIC guide and made it so fun with added stories and history. The only way it could’ve been better is if Sam Heughan himself showed up during the tour!
Fabulous Outlander tour
AMAZING!! It was everything I hoped for in an Outlander tour. Steve was a fantastic guide and gave us plenty of fun backstories and info about the locations and history of the area along with the Outlander focus. I would absolutely recommend this tour for any Outlander fan.
Outlander Tour in Scotland
Small van of 16 passengers departs around 8:30 am. Immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the van and the politeness of the staff. Great tour guide, Sophie. Be sure to pack snacks. Culcross does not have many options for lunch so, if the itinerary remains the same and you must do lunch at Culcross, pack a lunch. We had a great time at all of the castles and palaces. Tour ends in Edinburgh between 5:30-6:00 pm. It is all day tour. This tour is best for those who can climb stairs independently.
Great Tour for Sightseeing Outlander Film Locations
If you're an Outlander fan and want to buy some time for a day in Edinburgh, it's pretty cool seeing some of these locations in person! Sophie was a fun tour guide with a great sense of humor as well!
