Amazing, knowledgeable, friendly - My husband and I went on this tour in April 2024 and it was amazing! Steve was very friendly and knowledgeable he answered any questions we had and was very interactive. He found out we were Outlander fans and was very knowledgeable about that subject too! We also stopped at the Highland Folk Museum which I didn’t realize was part of the tour or that Outlander was filmed there. It was an awesome addition! We highly recommend this tour and Steve you won’t be disappointed!

Culloden Battlefield Well Worth the Visit. - Trip to Culloden was with EFGOAHEAD tours. Tour director allowed interested parties to go to Culloden Battlefield and take the tour, in addition to spending a few free hours there. The battlefield guide was great, she covered the history and remaining landmarks. During my free time as i walked around a very strange feeling came over me, the same feeling i had when i visited the Gettysburg Battlefield. It is a place to remember the past, those who died for their causes, and to look to the future with peaceful intentions.

Culloden and Clava Cairns are not to be missed--especially with Steve! - Traveling with Steve was a true pleasure. He is knowledgeable and provided insights that we never would have known had we not taken the Culloden, Clava Cairns tour with him. It was incredible and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Great Day! - We had such a fantastic day on this tour of Culloden Battlefield and Clava Cairns. We were so thankful for Edinburgh Tour Guides because we booked this small group day tour, and the other people cancelled so instead of cancelling on us (usually minimum of 4) They still picked the two of us up and allowed us to have a fantastic day on this tour! Out tour guide was Steve, who was a great driver/ guide, giving us information about Scotland along the way. When he found out we were Outlander fans, he added in a lot of extra info and pointed out things he thought would interest us. The battlefield was interesting to see, the Standing stones were awesome, and we also stopped at Outdoor museum which had a small village set up at was used in Outlander! So we enjoyed that a lot. This company is the best, they can also work with you when booking to change, or add sties that interest you. They really are fantastic! Thank you Steve for an awesome day!

Culloden and Clava Cairns is a MUST SEE. - Sam was a great guide. She obviously cares about these sites. She took us to a settlement where we watched a woman use an old loom and it was fascinating. She stopped several times to allow us to see ruins and beautiful scenery. She is a good driver too..

One happy fan! - I cannot say enough about Steve our tour guide and the tour itself! I live the small group setting, Steve is a wealth of information and fun to hang out with! We saw everything, heard all of the history surrounding it, had plenty of time to explore in our own too. And Steve showed us where outlander was filmed along the way. I highly recommend this tour!!!!!!!!

Scottish Vacation- Culloden - We did both the Culloden Tour and the Outlander Share-a-Tour, and both tour guides were knowledgeable about their topic. It was nice to be in a small group tour rather than a large bus, but I would say it is not worth the money where they are cheaper tours that provide the same locations.
