Gregory_J, Jul 2025

The Outlander series was mentioned in passing with a summary of the different sites we stopped at. What the tour needed was a mention of which scenes from which episode the significance of each site had.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Gregory, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're genuinely sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations. The intention of our Outlander tour is to combine real Edinburgh history with references to the show, highlighting places that inspired the series rather than filming locations exclusively — as many of those are spread across Scotland. That said, your feedback is valid, and we’ll review the script to see where we can include clearer references to specific scenes and episodes. We're always aiming to improve, and comments like yours help us grow. We hope you’ll give us another try in the future. Warm regards,

Underwhelmed

Heather_E, May 2024

The tour is less about Outlander and more about the Jacobite Rising. It’s very difficult to do the tour when there are a lot of people about. You’re constantly stopping and stepping out of the way to listen or figure out where you’re supposed to be. I never found Bakerhouse Close.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the tour didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide an immersive experience for Outlander fans, and we regret that the busy atmosphere detracted from your visit. We'll work on improving our directions and highlight quieter times for a better experience. As for Bakerhouse Close, we'll make sure our maps are clearer. We appreciate your insights and hope to offer you a more enjoyable experience in the future.
