Wonderful day - Charlie was an EPIC guide. So funny, knowledgeable, and lovely! We loved seeing all the filming locations, especially the spots we wouldn’t have seen otherwise (eg Falkland, Culross)

Haggis Adventures Outlander tour - First and foremost, our tour operator, Ali P. Was absolutely great! She's an excellent bus operator and ensured our safety throughout the duration of the tour. Ali's ability to adjust the schedule on the fly due to timing issues (of no fault of her own) made the trip seamless and fun!
The locations were great. The information was wonderful.
My biggest piece of advice- DO NOT book through VIATOR. the company fees and "deals" equal out to you paying nearly double what HAGGIS Adventures charges on their own. Don't fall for the "deals" from VIATOR!

Take this tour! - Dusty did an incredible job getting us from place to place and using his behind the wheel time to share the fascinating stories of Scotland’s history. It was pretty amazing to see the sites from Outlander with my own eyes (why did I imagine all the castles to be so much bigger?) :-) The tour was well worth the money spent, and we appreciated Dusty’s wit and wisdom along the way.

Historical and whimsically entertaining - The Outlander tour has a good mix of historical and whimsically entertaining information about Scotland’s history and the filming of Outlander. Our guides Teagan and Laurie (sp?) were informative, fun and kept us on time, ensuring we had adequate time at all stops. Blackness castle is a neat location but not sure we needed the full time there(it was also very rainy and windy more so than the other stops). Falkland and Culross were delightful and I could have spent more time walking around these delightful little villages. Lallybroch is a gem and we spent just enough time for a walk around and photos.

nice tour, could have been shortened in duration - Tour was good, excellent guide, Noah, who was knowledgeable about his country. Quite engaging and energetic. Tour could have been reduced to 6 hours instead of a full day. SItes were very interesting, and exactly as advertised.

Outlander basics only - Haggis adventures must not have had enough people on their tour, so combined us with Highland Adventures instead.
Had a driver who was nice, knowledgeable about history, etc.
However, was not overly knowledgeable about Outlander.
Even went as far as told us to avoid Culross palace as was not worth it. Come to find out, many Outlander scenes were filmed there.
He did not get out of the bus to direct us anywhere, just verbally told us places to go when he dropped us off.
Heard some tour groups had their tour director get out of the bus and actually take them to the areas that filming occurred and/or showed them photos of the areas where filming was to compare so they could take photos of the exact locations, etc.
Otherwise, the scenery was great and the areas were nice. Would have been nice to have more actual Outlander insights.

Worst customer experience ever - Conflicting info online. Will never use ye again. Booked a tour no problem. Got the app it stated no under 18s. Tried to contract support. No refund even when nowhere on the site does it state no under 18s. Went to the tour office got on the tour had a great time. Your website is WRONG. Incompetent unhelpful staff too
