Tour not adapted to non-English speakers. Nice places but the audio guide in Spanish leaves to be desired

3.00The tour was advertised as very good for Spanish speakers as well, but it is not. They do give you access to an audio guide in Spanish, but it doesn't tell anything about outlander, and it was a disappointment. On the side of the guide you can see that it does very well and enjoyable, but it is not what we expected as it did not indicate when to listen to each audio of the audio guide. Apart from that, the sites we went to were beautiful and the guide cpmented a lot about the outlander scenes but it is a shame that the audios did not comment anything about the series, only about the history of the places. The tour is very good but for English speakers.

5.00We really loved our day trip with our tour guide, Dusty. Everything was very well organised and communicated. We loved the stories about different filming locations from him. The atmosphere was really good. I have to mention the playlist of music that we could listen to while driving, I loved it.
A Perfect Day!

5.00Booked this trip with a friend who loves Outlander. I’ve only seen a few episodes, but even if you’ve seen 0 this is an amazing trip!! Our tour guide and driver Dusty was the best. He gave such a well rounded background to all of our stops, and his historical knowledge was extremely impressive. We spent the perfect amount of time at each stop, I picked this tour because it had more stops than other Outlander day tours and it was the perfect pick. Thank you Rusty for your great stories, jokes, and impressive driving!!!
A cheer to our guide Dusty

5.00We were guided by a wonderful guide/extremely skillful driver/history expert, Connor, who took us on a tour through time and space with a beautiful selection of traditional music on the bus. Visiting Midhope Castle early in the morning was really good to avoid most of the day visitors. May we suggest less time in Doune Castle and more time in Culross. Best regards from Carlos and Alexandra

4.00Great day visiting some Outlander sights. Our guide Wendi was so knowledgeable about the sites from the Outlander and real history perspective. She talked a lot during the drive and then once we arrive to the sites we were left to explore on our own. I feel like each stop had adequate time to see everything and never felt rushed. Even for our lunch break we had plenty of time to sit down and eat and see the town. It is a very long day!
