A great Outlander Tour and tour of the Highlands

Neddie_S, Sep 2024
Fantastic Outlander tour..Graham was great..knew his history, was entertaining and totally professional! Bed and Breakfast in Inverness, The Pine was excellent, loved hostess Angie! Hotel Ben Nevis was ok..bed was two twin beds pushed together and not comfortable..when getting wine from bar, first two glasses were dirty but food was excellent. I (Gail) am a huge fan of Outlander and was thrilled with all of the Outlander locations …the other locations were awesome as well…Graham is an excellent driver, also…

Memory of a lifetime

Andrew_L, Jun 2024
What can I say about this most amazing tour?!!! Our guide, Simon, is a true Outlander fan who also has tremendous knowledge of the history of Scotland and the Jacobite risings. He was able to point out the areas of Outlander filming in the various stops. Not only was this an Outlander tour, but we gained so much knowledge of Scotland. All the stops were wonderful to visit and he took excellent care of us. We would definitely take another tour with Simon. He simply was the best!

Absolutely amazing

Where to even start... amazing tour, made even more amazing by our tour guide Wilie! Very informative, great historical info, and very special outings and locations. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Best tour ever!

Nicole_B, Sep 2022
Willie, our tour guide, felt like a friend. He was so helpful and informative and even ate lunch with us some days. We were 4 solo female travelers and we all became friends during our tour. It was a nice small group and the van was very spacious and comfortable. We got some great information about history, Scottish music was played throughout our journey, and Willie showed us so many Outlander filming sites. He even reminded us what season each filming site was from. We had more than enough time at each stop and he even offered to take our picture if we wanted. It was a wonderful 4 days and I will cherish the memories forever. Thanks so much, Willie! -Nicole from NJ.

Magical Outlander tour w caveats

Alfred_R, May 2022
We had a great tour with our guide Mckenzie, the most proud Scottish tour guide that clearly loves his country you could ever ask for. He is a master storyteller that will make your tour totally amazing. Please note that due to current filming and weather some venues were closed. Mac gave us some extra sites to make up for the closed ones. After 4 days our tour bonded and we all became family. Very magical getting Outlander fans sharing a wonderful experience. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 due to accomodations being hindered by local events out of tour operator's control.

Highly recommended experience

Booking a smaller group tour is so much better then the large bus groups. This tour not only took us to Outlander filming locations but also beautiful nature areas that larger buses would not be able to reach. Don't forget to pack a windbreaker at a minimum or a thicker coat depending on the time of year you go because there is a good chance you will have some rain during your visit. Be sure to wear hiking boots or similar type footwear to enable you to traverse the slippery and possibly wet ground. You must be able to hike up hill short distances in order to see the magnificent views. Our tour guide, Willie, was the best. He is friendly, fun to be around, and a wealth of knowledge in Scotland's history and customs. Credit cards were readily accepted everywhere so you only need cash for tips really and in case there is a charge to use restrooms. With the increased tourism, more places are starting to charge for use of restrooms only 30 pence or so. I would definitely do another tour like this one.

Much More Than an Outlander Tour

Lettia_M, Sep 2019
This tour was wonderful and our tour guide Willie was excellent. Not only was he a superb driver, but he knew so many details of the history of Scotland which he shared with us. This tour is much more than an “Outlander” tour, it’s a general historical tour of Scotland that has an overall Outlander theme. The music he played in between the stories he told, was related to our location or something he had told us about. Willie made the tour special by stopping in multiple locations for photos (especially in the highlands), adding to the overall experience. The accommodations were comfortable and convenient to the center of town. Breakfasts are huge, in fact we could not eat all the food provided in these "full English breakfasts". I honestly think this was the best package tour I have ever been on. I would definitely do this again, especially if I could have Willie!

Outlander Outdone

edgelandave, Jul 2019
I loved this trip. Our driver/guide, Willie, was great. He supplied us with lots of interesting and historic information on the sites we were visiting, as well as on the Outlander series. He added the nice touch of playing Scottish music that was appropriate to the next site we were visiting. The accommodations were fine, well run and their hosts friendly. What a beautiful country. Outlander or not, this trip has something for everyone.

Our driver Lizzie was the best! Can't imagine anyone being better for our trip. Very knowledgeable on not only Outlander, but Scottish history in general. Learned a lot and had loads of laughs and fun.

Une découverte magique en compagnie d'un super guide

La_d, Jul 2024
Simon a été un guide fantastique : bienveillant, à l'écoute, attentionné...Bref un séjour magique malgré un tarif un peu élevé. Le circuit était magnifique et la prise en charge très bonne. Nous avons bien apprécié l'hébergement chez Andrea et la découverte des Hihlands nous a laissé des étoiles plein les yeux. Encore merci pour tout à Simon.
