Fantastic. Excellent tour, safe and comfortable driving. The best part was James, the tour guide. A wonderful man with a great sense of humor, and he knows so much about the sites we visit (and drive by). His corny jokes had my kids constantly grinning.
Angela_J, Mar 2026
James was knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating for the group.
He answered all our questions and gave us a lot of insightful information.
Highly recommend for Outlander fans and anyone interested in the rich history of the area.

Great tour of some interesting historical landmarks in the area north of Glasgow & Edinburgh. It was themed around the Outlander tv programne, but you didn't need to be a fan to appreciate the history.
One castle we visited was used for the filming of Monty Python & the Holy Grail and 'horses' were available to purchase from their gift shop!
The tour was hosted by Grant - a lovely local guy - with lots of interesting historical facts & fascinating snippets to bring the journey to life.
A fab day out!

The tour is approachable for Outlander and non-Outlander fans alike. The tour guide made the information relevant for all participants, and made it fun while sharing information on the sites. For this tour, there was a change in the itinerary; yet, the company communicated the information early and found a lovely substitute.
Courtney_L, Oct 2025
Tour was informative and the guide played around w his riders, cracking jokes and whatnot. Its was a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
carol_h, Oct 2025
We had the most enjoyable day. Our tour guide was wee James who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He made the tour very interesting.
Karen_B, Sep 2025
Fun day for Outlander fans! Many locations revealed and connected to the series. Katlyn, our guide/driver, was amazing, sharing lots of Scottish fun facts. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
Betty_B, Sep 2025
We throughly enjoyed the Outlander tour with our guide Old Cameron. It is far more than Outlander, we learned so much about Scotland and Scottish history. It was fun to. Is it many of the sights from the tv series and we received much advice about our safety and comfort too. Highly recommend.
Robert_B, Sep 2025
Our guide Peter was so fun! He was knowledgeable about so many things! He was very caring and helped guide us through each attraction
dfacey, Sep 2025
This tour was great. Our tour guide/driver was a young lady named Caitlin and her companion Ghost. She was nothing less of exceptional. Caitlin was knowledgeable, entertaining and accommodating. Moved us around from location to location, with timely snippet’s of knowledge, folklore and entertaining music. Maintained a great schedule which provided ample time to explore locations enjoy the atmosphere and take in the scenic locations. She was fantastic and if you can request a specific tour guide, she is the one.

The stops are a bit too quick. Ex: Culross place takes 45 min to tour, but u only have 30 min at the stop. I know there are alot of great stops...and Viator is only the travel agent. Rabbie is the actual tour company. Our driver, Steven, was great...he tried to give as much time as possible. All and all, very nice experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Linda,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I'm thrilled that you had a nice experience overall and that you enjoyed your time with your driver guide Steven. But I'm sorry that the tour felt a little rushed in places.
As you noted we try our absolute best to squeeze in as much time as possible at each location and while we would typically expect you to stop a little longer at Culross, 30 minutes is the absolute minimum. It's possible that you could have been a little delayed earlier in the day whether from traffic or leaving late from earlier destinations, so I apologise that left you with a slightly shorter visit to Culross.
Despite this I do still hope you were able to immerse yourself in the beautiful and vibrant cobbled streets in Culross and that you enjoyed walking in the footsteps of Claire and Jamie throughout the day.
Thanks,
Jo

The places we visited were beautiful with lots of history and as an outlander fan it was great to hear details and anecdotes about the production of the series
Kelley_V, Sep 2025
Our guide gave us a spectacular tour that included Scottish culture, history, music, humor, and everything Outlander!
Stephanie_N, Aug 2025
Our tour guide was amazing with connecting the parallels between outlander the movie versus the reality of Scottish history
Rebecca_C, Jul 2025
It was a fantastic tour, and James was a great guide; he seemed to be very knowledgeable about the history and facts of Outlander and Scotland!
Glenn_S, Jul 2025
Amazing tour and our guide, Caitlin, was the best!! She was very knowledgeable about Scottish history and culture and did a great job educating us.
Richard_C, Jul 2025
Another exceptional Viator experience! Andrew was such a fantastic tour guide and he is so knowledgeable about the Outlander series as well as Scottish history. I highly recommend this tour.
Jamie_C, Jul 2025
Saw many of the main sites from the show! Got to have an extra 20 minutes at the Glasgow Cathedral also (another show site!)
Jasmarie_A, Jun 2025
Took this tour on my honeymoon and learned and experienced much more than I paid for! I went on an outlander tour but my guide was so knowledgeable I also learned a ton about Scotlands geography, culture and history.
Terry_S, Jun 2025
This tour was very disappointing!! You would think the travel guide would be well versed in Outlander and he hardly knew anything about the series. He spent his time talking about Scottish History versus Outlander. We already did a Scottish History Tour!! At the stops he spent hardly any time with us and simply sent us on our way. We really thought the full day would be about OUTLANDER, as advertised. Don't waste your time on this tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hi Terry,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I'm sorry to hear this tour didn't live up to expectations.
While this is an Outlander locations tour, we certainly don't claim to be Outlander experts, and instead we promise our driver guides will narrate you through the real life history that inspired the series. It sounds like your driver guide did a great job with this, but I appreciate that would have been disappointing if it wasn't what you were expecting.
I hope that despite your concerns that you still had a memorable and enjoyable time seeing all the filming locations and hopefully you learned something new about our Jacobite history.
Thanks,
Jo

Our guide Stevie was lots of fun and shared a lot of good information and history with us on your journey. My hubby hasn't watched one episode of Outlander and still enjoyed it. Helpful hint- he did enjoy the Monty Python and the Holy Grial info at one of the castles. The bus was clean and comfortable. Would recommend this tour.
Tulisha_W, May 2025
It was such a wonderful day! Our guide Nick was amazing, knowledgeable, funny, and engaging! He knew all our names instantly and referred to us by name throughout the day which made us feel right at home! The stops along the tour were exactly what every outlander enthusiast would want to see! The tour company Rabbies does a great job, pickup and drop off was so easy and they were quick to answer our questions in advance! Highly recommend this day tour!!
Stephanir_S, May 2025
The driver and tour guide Maggie was extraordinary. She was knowledgeable, pleasant, charismatic and punctual. Such a positive experience. I was so happy I booked this trip🩷
Virginia_S, May 2025
Had a great time on the outlander tour
Our guide Young Stephen was brilliant & very knowledgable which made our experience very interesting, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day (9hour tour) I would defo recommend
Nora_W, Apr 2025
This was a fun tour experience! We got to see the filming locations of the show but also got the chance to see more secluded places in Scotland. It was a packed day and we would have liked some more time in Linlithgow over the other stops but overall a very cool excursion!
Maria_P, Apr 2025
Great tour, one of my favorite. Would highly recommend for any Outlander fan or if you are not you will still enjoy the great sights.
Susan_H, Apr 2025
James was fantastic! A load of knowledge and an excellent driver! It was nice having the smaller group. There were only 8 of us on the tour. It made it more personal an experience. The locations we visited were really good. Since this was a tour based on the Outlander show, James really made sure to tie the tour to the show, books, and even author! I know nothing of the show, yet the tour is full of outstanding sites and Scottish history! I highly recommend for anyone!
Roberta_S, Feb 2025
Great tour guide and wonderful castles to see. Our guide gave a lot of history that isn’t in the books, which is nice and was very pleasant.
Jodi_M, Jan 2025
Wonderful experience even if you’re not familiar with the series. There was so much to see on this tour. George was very knowledgeable and shared many stories and history along the way. A great way to spend a day in Scotland!
John_F, Jan 2025
Terrific day. Guide Stephan was excellent and very knowledgeable. Just the right amount of time at each location and got to see all the key locations. Each one was interesting whether you are there for Outlander or just to see the history. Small group was perfect size (five or f us that day).
