Outlander Locations Tour Including Admissions from Edinburgh

MARIA_G, Jul 2026

Fabulous experience, I want to do it again.

Go for this one, amazing locations of Outalder (and other shows) . Our kind driver brought all the fun and knew a lot about the scenes filmed at each location. Plenty of time to look around each site, enjoy the scenery and of course take the perfect photos.

Edinburgh Darkside Ghost Tour of Mysteries and Murder and Legends

Missy_C, Jul 2026

You MUST book this tour!

Charles was an excellent tour guide! He was captivating, funny, and knew his Scotish history! We walked from old town to new town and saw some great sites along the way... An AMAZING visit to a very old graveyard and the trek uphill to where all the witches were hung, had the most gorgeous views of Scotland! Hands down, this was our best tour on our vaction!!

Edinburgh Hop-on Hop-off City Tour with Live Guide

Claire_M, Jul 2026

Best money we spent in Edinburgh

Best money we spent in Edinburgh. Would highly recomened, tour guide was interesting and knowledgeable and the hop on hop off was perfect for us travelling with a buggy and a 7 yr old saved a lot of crying about walking and sore feet (and this was just me lol) and were able to see so many more sights.

Edinburgh: St Andrews & The Fishing Villages of Fife

Denise_T, Jul 2026

Fishing Villages and Ruins

This all-day tour with our multigenerational family was an absolute delight! Our guide, Stuart, provided knowledgeable commentary and tweaked the schedule slightly to ensure we had optimal time in both the fishing villages and St Andrews. Our group of twelve highly recommends this itinerary and Timberbush services.

Edinburgh: Isle of Skye, Highlands and Loch Ness 3-Day Tour

William_W, Jul 2026

This was an incredible...

This was an incredible experience. Jada, our guide/driver is awesome. She made it her goal to have us spend as much time off the bus as possible and did it brilliantly. Because we had such unseasonable Scottish weather—it was warm and sunny for 3 days in a row 😜—Jada was able to hit everything on the itinerary and more!! Every place we went Jada knew the people working there so we felt like we were treated just a little bit better. She also knows the habits/schedules of the other tour companies and adjusts her route so as to arrive before or after them to avoid larger crowds. Jada was also very well versed in the history & legends of the tour destinations and full of fun, little known facts. She kept our teenage grandson engaged along the way. For tall folks (6’+) be aware that there is not much legroom on the bus.

Edinburgh: The Kelpies, Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond & Trossachs

Jodi_N, Jul 2026

Perfect day trip

This tour itinerary was exactly what I was looking for and the pacing of each stop was perfect! My family doesn't like to be rushed and have time to see the sights and also relax a bit. Stirling Castle was the highlight of our day, but the Kelpies, Loch Lommond/Luss and Falkirk Wheel were all great too! Highly recommend this tour!

City Sightseeing Edinburgh Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour + Kids Go Free

Renell_F, Jul 2026

Great way to get to know the city. Highly recommended!

The hop on hop off bus was a great way to see the city and take a much needed walking break. We recommend booking the 24 hr pass which we didn’t do, but wished we did because the buses are a great way to get around the city at a low cost. You can plug into the guided tour and hear all about the landmarks as you pass them. It helps us get our bearings so we knew what we wanted to visit later. We loved this experience and would do it again.

Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and Glencoe Day Trip from Edinburgh

William_M, Jul 2026

Long tour. Take this tour!

We had the smaller bus (16 passengers max) which was AWESOME. (I cannot comment on the full-size tour bus, but they looked miserable). Our driver was Jamie. He gave us insight into local lore and also the origins of many sayings (look up “the cold shoulder). True or not, it was hilarious. His playlist was also fantastic, and he shared it at the end of the tour. He stopped just enough times and we had great photo ops. Beware, the tour is LONG, but it’s what we all sign up for. No surprises. We opted for the Loch Ness cruise and Urquhart Castle tour (THIS IS OPTIONAL - do it! It’s £31). We had a quick lunch at the Clansman Hotel before boarding the cruise. The Cullen skunk and fish & chips were GOOD. As was the raspberry cake. I’ve always been hesitant of day tours. This one was excellent and worth it!

Edinburgh: Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle and the Kelpies Day Tour

Justine_H, Jun 2026

Amazing day full of Scottish beauty! We love tour guide Holly (and her little helper Harley!)

Our family had a wonderful time exploring beautiful Scotland with tour guide Holly and her little helper Harley! Even with a very full bus of tourists, Holly was an expert at navigating and creating a fun, lively experience for everyone. What a well-spent day!

Hogwarts Express and Scottish Highlands Tour from Edinburgh

Melissa_B, Sep 2025

This tour was amazing, we...

This tour was amazing, we had Cara as a driver and she was phenomenal! So knowledgeable and hilarious. It wasn’t a 100% Harry Potter tour but both Cara and the train staff was absolutely incredible at pointing out every Harry Potter point of interest. Bus was also comfortable.
