  There was Not much to see and lots of down time at each stop. I wished for more information about the filming of it and the actors involved.

• Humiliated vs. Having fun

  I don't have many characters to explain how terrible this day was, so I will separate my review into biased and unbiased information. You may form your own opinions. Unbiased information: - The sights were beautiful but we were very rushed. - The price for the tour does not include entry to every sight so expect to pay out of pocket. - The tour guide spent over 1 hour (honestly maybe more) speaking to the family behind him, broadcasting their conversation about tires, trucks, and college to the rest of the bus who were not involved in the conversation. If those things matter to you, they are things you should know. Biased information: I spent 2 years saving to come to Scotland to take this tour, and Outlander is my favorite show. On stop #2, I misunderstood the time and returned to the bus at 12:21 thinking we were supposed to be back at 12:30. In reality, we had been told to return at 12:15. That was my fault, and I own that. I explained to him I thought it was 12:30, apologized profusely, and slunk into my seat, wildly embarrassed, as everyone was waiting for us. The tour driver would end up bringing up how late we were/running behind schedule we were six times over the next six hours. No, I'm not exaggerating. We were 10-20 minutes early for the rest of the day, as we were so embarrassed we had misconstrued the time on stop #2. Worth mentioning: we left for the day at 9 AM, when the tour was set to depart at 8:20. The tour guide was waiting for someone to show up who had signed up, but did not arrive. So we departed for the day already 40 minutes behind schedule. At the second to last stop, the tour guide himself was 7 minutes late picking us up, but no one ever mentioned that. This was right before we went to Lallybroch, so he said we might not make it before the doors closed. He mentioned the reasoning behind that was "we were late getting to lunch." Aka us being late. Which was 5 hours prior to that comment Embarrassed is an understatement. We were punctual all day, other than stop 2. We missed out on touring certain sights in order to be punctual, and were still reminded of our tardiness. All day. The bus members joined in on this, also made comments about it, and we struggled to enjoy anything at all for the rest of the day. I want to reiterate that I understand I made a mistake around noon. But to be blamed for it for 6 more hours? That's insane. I saved for years to come on this tour. I chose this one, out of all the others, and I'm so sad with this experience. I own my mistake, and apologized for it repeatedly. We made up our lost minutes at lunch time, and were still blamed for the rest of the day. If i could do anything over again, it would probably be to rent a car, and drive to the locations myself. Although we've been taking bus tours for about a decade, this one was so humiliating that I will not ever book another tour again.

  Excellent adventure and Brendan/Bdog was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour so much more enjoyable and interesting. Highly recommend!

• Worth it, even for non-Outlander fans

  Good array of sites and good commentary about actual history. Limited time at most locations, but that was partly due to tardy passengers.

• A perfect end to a dream holiday

  Our driver was very knowledgeable about not only Outlander but of the areas we were driving through. He gave us plenty of time to walk through and get photos, eat, shop and just enjoy the experience. My highlight was driving up to see Lallybroch (Midhope). Great way to end my holiday in Scotland.
