5.00That tour in your company was amazing. Thank you for your great advice and historical stories!! Most of all, thank you for your smile and your kindness. It made this tour so meaningful and unforgettable!! The locations were great and each time accompanied with a little backstory and a great playlist.

5.00Our driver was Scott and he was a great guide; friendly, knowledgeable, charismatic, and kind! Lots of good history with jokes peppered in. Plenty of time at all the stops and never felt rushed. Scott provided a lot of Scottish history not only pertaining to Outlander, but included history of other historical sites as well (several stories about Mary Queen of Scots, Robert the Bruce, history of the Kelpie statues, Scottish contributions to modern science, etc) I will say I was pretty disappointed that we didn't get to even SEE Midhope castle...I knew it wouldn't be open to the public, but not even getting to see it to take photographs was a huge bummer. Our time in Culross was AMAZING! Beautiful little village right on the water with lots of history, cobbles, and a cute little cafe (Mercat.) Would definitely recommend the trip, especially with Scott!
Great for Outlander Lovers!

5.00Scott was great. Blackness Castle and Culross were my favorites. However, I wish they said ahead of time midhope castle was closed, since it was listed on the itinerary. Also, I wish Scott mentioned the castle explorer pass since we went to two eligible locations on the tour (the pass is better than buying separately).
Perfect

Outlander Day Trip Close to Glasgow & Edinburgh

5.00For any fans of Outlander, this is a good day trip close to both Glasgow & Edinburgh that gives access to many filming locations. My tour guide, Liz, was very knowledgeable, super bubbly & friendly, and an overall pleasure as a host. The tour was a bit unlucky with the weather, so we unfortunately had to skip Blackness Castle, but that’s the risk with Scottish January weather!
Beautiful day doing the outlander tour

5.00We had an amazing day doing the outlander day tour. Our guide, Scott, was very knowledgeable and made sure that we were entertained throughout the day with lots of stories from Scotland’s past. He was also very nice and accommodating and made sure that in every stop, we knew what to look out for, where the bathrooms were, and where we could grab a cuppa. Honestly, not only would I do another tour with this company again, but I would also ask for their staff by name. A good tour guide makes the whole trip! Thank you again and special thank you to Scott.
