Amazing Outlander Tour with the Best Guide Ever! - If you're an Outlander fan, this tour is an absolute must! Visiting the filming locations felt like stepping into the series. Every stop was magical, but what made it truly unforgettable was our guide, Liz. She’s simply the best – knowledgeable, passionate, and so much fun. Her stories and energy brought everything to life. Highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful and very Informative - My sister and I went on this tour 30th April, we had an amazing time. Weather was
fabulous. Scott our tour guide was very professional, Knowledgeable with a great sense of humour, he even taught our lovely fellow passengers from Canada/Alaska?England to speak scottish (Scott.....ish lol) word like Aye, Deid and pure dead brilliant. we all had a great laugh, and although my sister and I are Scottish we learned so much about our own history from Scott. He is an asset to his company. we look forward to going on more trips like this one. Well done Scott.

A MUST for a trip to Scotland!! - The tour guide, Scott, was absolutely amazing at keeping the bus ride each location super fun and interactive. The amount of time allocated for seeing each location was perfect, especially with a scheduled timing for the places with tickets. Absolutely worth it for die-hard Outlander fans but is very interesting for those who haven't seen the series. It should definitely be part of the list on holiday in Scotland and I would 100% do this tour again :)

A Guide Worth Crossing the Globe For - If you're lucky enough to get Scott as your guide, you're in for something truly special. My wife & I joined the "Outlander" Castles & Scottish Countryside tour out of Glasgow and from the very first moment, Scott made us feel like fast friends. He's not just a guide... he's a master storyteller with a deep love and knowledge of Scottish history, and the way he brings that history to life is nothing short of magical.
Our group included folks who didn't speak much English, and Scott handled it all with kindness and ease - helping guests navigate the tour with multilingual tablets while still keeping things engaging for everyone. He was hilarious, warm & had a genuine passion for what he does.
The real surprise came after the tour! Scott went above and beyond, giving us personal recommendations on what to see, where to eat and hidden gems to explore around Glasgow. He didn't have to do that, but that's just the kind of person he is.
27 / 5 stars. We came for castles and "Outlander," but we left with a new friend for life.

Outlander Castles and Clans Tour Review - The tour was very well organized, the schedule was kept, the conditions on the coach were very good and our group (11 people total) was very nice which made for a pleasant trip. The time given to spend at each stop was appropriate and allowed for seeing everything calmly. Our driver and tour guide Heather was incredible and really made our day with her commentary and tips. A lovely tour all around, even with the rainy weather and unpredictable traffic conditions.
