    We took this tour as a way to get out of the city of Edinburgh and see a few famous attractions, and it did not disappoint! What a wonderful day we had with our excellent tour guide Candace. She was kind, patient and knowledgeable, making the day a pleasant one on the road. Lots of beautiful sights to see!

    The Outlander tour was so well organized and well-paced. We covered so many spots within such a short time but didn't feel rushed. Just loved it! Mark, our driver and guide, was awesome! He is a great storyteller and we enjoyed listening to him. He is very enthusiastic and passionate about the history and culture of Scotland which made our tour even more special. He was with us most of the time and helped us take photos and find important Outlander filming spots within the castles. Overall, great experience :)

    Really good overall! It would be a 5 star tour for us if the only thing you are interested in is the outlander locations. If you have an interest in the history outside of outlander, there is not enough time to get all of that information. Andrew T and Wendy were great tour guides! They were super informative and really nice to chat with. Had a great time!!
