Great tour!

Jessica_V, Sep 2026

Small van with a dozen people. Ian was a great guide, he went over history and also answered questions our group had. Really enjoyed the tour and it brought the magic and whimsy of Lallybroch and other locations to life. Thank you!

Outlander

Paul_H, Aug 2026

Don’t go to Edinburgh to meet the tour. Stop in Waverley. It cost us a cab fare needlessly. The guide was exceptional

Fun Adventure

Linda_L, Jul 2026

It’s quite a bit of walking and climbing of uneven stairs, but very much well worth it if you are an Outlander fan!

Great Tour, great Guide!...

Antonia_L, Jun 2026

Great Tour, great Guide! Thanks Aila for a perfekt Outlander day! I loved Balckness Castle and Midhope House!

The Perfect Outlander Tour✨ Beyond Expectations

Susanna_M, Apr 2026

We had such an incredible experience on this Outlander tour today! It truly exceeded all our expectations. The guides were absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made every stop come alive with stories and insights, and their enthusiasm was contagious. One of the best parts of the day was the atmosphere they created. We had such lovely conversations throughout the tour—it felt relaxed, personal, and never rushed. Traveling by van was surprisingly enjoyable, especially with all the well-planned stops along the way. It was the perfect way to break up the journey, take in the beautiful scenery, and fully appreciate each location. We also loved meeting new people and sharing the experience together. It added such a warm and social element to the day, making it even more memorable. Everything was perfectly organized, and you could really tell how much care and attention goes into making this tour special. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone—whether you're a fan of Outlander or just looking for a unique and unforgettable way to explore Scotland. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Perry was a great guide...

Darla_R, Oct 2025

Perry was a great guide and he is clearly very passionate about Outlander and making sure guests get everything they want from the trip. He had amazing knowledge about the show and about each location in general. Great pacing, one of the few tours it seemed like we spent more time outside the car than in. Loved it!

Highly Recommend

Perry made our day beautifully memorable. He was the perfect guide, driver and Scotland/Outlander enthusiast!

Perry was an awesome guide and a good driver. We enjoyed our small-group Outlander tour very much, and never felt rushed.

Perfect Outlander Day Tour

Margaret_M, Jul 2025

This was a perfect one day Outlander tour. Fort William, Geillis Duncan's house, the herb garden, lunch at Mrs Baird's B&B, topped off with a visit to Lallybroch. It doesn't get better than that!
