    It was well organized and clearly described on the website. We had plenty of time to see each location. It does involve some uneven stone stairs if you want to go inside the castles. Got to see the most important locations from the first several episodes. It was fascinating and a lot of fun. It is a long day with a lot of bus riding but a very comfortable bus and absolutely worth it. You will want to get the ticket that allows you to go inside the castles.

    Sophie was a terrific driver and even made sure we avoided a “Dukes of Hazard” experience. ;-) She was very informative about what we were going to see, when and for how long, and most importantly, how it was significant to Outlander series and to Scottish history. I thoroughly enjoyed being in a smaller group (16) versus a big bus. It enabled us to get up close parking and not having to have longer stops just because of sheer size of group.
