Wonderful tour and day. Our guide Jack was amazing, very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor.
Highly recommend this tour if you love Outlanders or just want to explore the countryside and some beautiful towns and castles.
David_S, May 2026
Rich made the tour funny: great stories, funny, insightful, and informative. Played interesting and appropriate tunes as well to mix things up. Like all tours, there is usually one troubled person and Rich handled everything professionally and casually. And we got a feee cookie! Also, just as a side note, another guide from another tour (Sean?) was kind enough to answer some questions for me. An untimely hot weatherman’s would have liked a bit more on the air conditioning, but that is probably a rare occurrence for us.

Rachel did a good job driving, was nice and the Outlander locations were very good however we were disappointed that the tour didn’t feel like an Outlander experience. Some other folks thought the same as well. A suggestion would be to play Outlander music while on the bus, only the Skye Boat song was played once. Talking more about the series while on the bus would have also been nice keeping everyone in the mood. It also would have been nice if the driver saw the entire series to be more familiar with the tour.

What an amazing tour. Our Tour Guide Shae was awesome she was so knowledgeable on the show and the history of Scotland. We were so fortunate to have had her and loved her sense of humour. Worth the price.
Debbie_S, May 2026
Lauren was fabulous! All the filming sites we visited were so fun! We saw so much and Lauren’s expertise and humor made the trip a lot of fun! Thank you, Lauren!
Lianne, May 2026
This Outlander Tour was exactly the right pace, giving us time to stand and feel the spots we saw in the series. Our guide, Sean Gordon was highly knowledgeable, personable, and funny. His depth of historical perspective was very valuable in understanding the locations. We really enjoyed his storytelling and wide selection of Scottish music. Highly recommended!
Patrick_C, May 2026
We went on the outlander tour. Steven was an amazing tour guide. I highly recommend going walking around. The castles was very neat.
Stephanie_K, May 2026
The outlander tour with Ewan was AMAZING!!! He is so knowledgeable about the castles, the area, and even the show. He was the perfect tour guide for my favorite tour of my vacation.
Jessica_W, May 2026
Iain was a great tour guide, excellent storyteller and respectfully kept us on time for our day long trip through Outlander touring sites
Juliana_J, May 2026
We are so happy we did the Outlander tour with Rabbie’s! Jamie was an excellent guide, not only did he give us background from the filming locations, but covered the real Scottish history of many locations. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the tour and has never seen Outlander. We highly recommend this tour for anyone!
Susan_G, May 2026
Worth the time and the money. Duncan was an amazing tour guide. He was a great blend of fun and informative, relaxed and on task. We didn't feel rushed, we got to take in the sights, yet Duncan kept us relatively on schedule and we hit a few extra stops.
Melissa_D, May 2026
If you are an Outlander fan, this is a great way to see some amazing castles that double as many Outlander locations. Alex McClure was a fun, and fantastic guide. We would recommend this tour to anyone!
Maggi_G, May 2026

Garrett_I, May 2026
We had a great experience on this tour. We saw a number of beautiful castles as well as the country side. I am personally not an Outlander fan, but still had a wonderful time. Our guide Jim Scott was very fun and knowledgeable. Jim kept the vibes high throughout the day and made the tour a wonderful experience.
Dawson_F, May 2026

Great sights & our guide Duncan was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this tour the 3 of us all enjoyed our day.
Theresa_d, May 2026
A great overview of key Outlander filming sites with Scottish story telling and history mixed in. A very enjoyable day! The longest ride in the bus is about 35 minutes so you don’t get stiff or restless and the countryside is just stunning. Our guides Lizzie and Lauren were fantastic with great senses of humor and made our day a 10 out of 10.
Abbie_H, May 2026
Ewing was great!!! The outlander experience was fun, informative, and concise! We throughly enjoyed it
Kenneth_T, May 2026
It’s the perfect sampler of local places and events sharing things that can be pursued, or left as experienced during the tour. Memorable and carefree are good words to describe it. Lizzie and Lauren tag teamed in a champion partnership that provides lasting memories. Two big thumbs up.
Cyndi_L, May 2026
Craig Young was an amazing tour guide - He took us through Scottish history as well as all the details from the Outlander filming locations. The bus was comfortable and Craig was so much fun! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

My friends and I went on the Outlander Tour and had the most amazing time! Graeme (graham sp? Sorry!) was the absolute best tour guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable and kept us all engaged. Thanks so much! Would take this tour again! 10/10 would recommend
Amanda_W, Apr 2026
It’s is definitely a full days experience. Lots of walking with steep stairs and inclines. It’s an absolute treat to see Outlander locations in all their glory and have an experienced guide giving you all the rich details as you travel. This is a must for Outlander fans! Jack, our guide was absolutely fantastic!
Gregory_V, Apr 2026
Not enough time at Lallybroch because of the crowds. More outlander music on the bus would’ve been appreciated.
Lynne_R, Apr 2026
It’s a lot of walking on uneven
Surfaces make sure you wear good walking shoes. The coach was very comfortable. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Brunilda_M, Apr 2026
Awesome! Rachael our tour guide was fantastic. She took her time and really made it fun. Loved the castles
