Heidi was our driver for the day, she kept everybody in good spirits, shared a lot of her knowledge with us about all places that we travelled and put on great music as well! Loved it!

Heidi was lovely! She was very informative and sweet on the outlander tour.
Timing was a bit tight and the tour could perhaps be a bit longer to ensure time at each spot (not in the tour guides control), but outside of that it was nice to see all the outlander filming locations!

Me and my sister did the Outlander tour and it was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was Dusty and he was super nice, funny and full of information not only about Outlander but also about Scotland. Tour started on time, bus was clean and comfortable and we had enough time at all the locations. Definitely recommend it!

I first did this tour in 2022, we didn’t go midhope as there was filming taking place and some of the other places we stopped had renovations going on.
But not this time. Sophie our guide and driver was excellent despite being pulled for a routine check by VOSPA at the start of our tour. Nothing phased this girl she was fabulous. I throughly reckoned this trip. Midhope is beautiful as is Doune castle. Falkland and Culross a must to visit and Blackness Castle on the coast is just stunning in its location.
This trip is a must for outlander fans.

This is the best Outlander tour with the amazing driver Dusty, who will take you to the Outlander locations. Along the way you will hear some delightful scottish music alternated with interesting historical facts and of course about Outlander. I wish my history teacher would have told history like our driver, it was easy to follow and captivating.
Best tour ever, would do it again!!!

Laurie did an excellent job with us on the tour.
We saw all scheduled attractions and also an additional stop in Linlithgow. I highly recommend this tour to all Outlander fans.

The best trip we had so far. Even you are not a fan of the outlander series, this trip is so amazing with all the nice places and castles.
Our guide Sophie was excellent! She was so friendly, funny, informative and the best driving witch we know 😜. We would give you 6 of 5 stars, if possible.
Also the organization of the whole trip was perfect and the bus with max. 16 passengers was very comfortable. Only one point: A bit more time at Blackness Castle at the end of the Tour would be nice.

A wonderful way to spend my birthday! I love stepping back in time and Scotland has so much history and as an Outlander fan I decided to spend the day on an Outlander Tour. The bus was very comfortable and Ali filled us in on local history as we were driven to each location. I really enjoyed the playlist being played too. It was great to have a change of scene and see the landscape and soak up the sights and sounds. Sadly I didn’t find Jamie Fraser but it was a great day out! Ali also surprised me with a card and cup cake which was very thoughtful and a lovely Aussie couple got engaged at one of the castles, so it was a true day of celebration ❤️
