Outlander Experience

Sam and Steve, our hosts, provided an unforgettable Outlander Experience. They are extremely knowledgeable about the series, the cast and the locations used in Outlander. My favorite set was Midhope Castle, Lallybroch. I also loved Culross, the location used for many of the sets in Outlander, including Crainsmuir, Geillis's home, the herb gardens at Leoch, Laoghoire's home and others. Linlithgow, which was one of 4 locations for Wentworth Prison was fascinating. The abby set, the Duke's kitchen where he was beheaded, all were fascinating to see. The whole trip was wonderful. Even my husband, who has never watched the series, was very interested in the places visit on this tour. Thank you Sam and Steve.

Our guide was informative and entertaining. He went above and beyond what we expected during an engaging tour.

We got much more from this tour than expected. The guide was in tune with exactly what we were looking for. He was excellent!

Best outlander tour ever!

This was a tour of a lifetime! To see the filming places of our favorite spots from the outlander TV show, buy an outstanding Tour Guide , Steve , made the experience so much better. He even provided some photos to share from the filming, end of the show itself to bring it all to life as we are seeing it !!! Fantastic!!

Wonderful Outlander Experience

Steven was an excellent tour guide. My daughter and I did the private tour. He was very knowledgeable about the locations and Outlander filming. The tour was not rushed and Steven was very patient with mobility challenges touring the castles. I highly recommend!!

Loved our tour!

We couldn’t have been happier with our tour! Steve was quite knowledgeable and added many personal stories and experiences throughout the day which added to our enjoyment. We were picked up and dropped off at our place of lodging -so convenient! Adequate time was provided at each stop and we never felt rushed even though we saw so many different sites. We definitely recommend using this tour company, and be sure to ask for Steve!

Fantastic Guide

We three spent the day with Steve, our guide, who was fantastic, very knowledgeable, full of amusing anecdotes, and all together extremely pleasant. He was very patient and accommodating to my mother who is blind, and managed to bring the visual aspects of the tour alive for her. We would highly recommend this day trip for those who want a more personal, inclusive tour. Not only did we learn and see a tonne about Outlander, get to see incredible behind-the-scenes photos from Steve's personal collection on his iPad, but we also learned a great deal about Edinburgh's history and fun tidbits (i.e. JK Rowling!)
