Traveler reviews
Outlander Experience Tour - disappointing!
I did the 1-day Outlander tour (wasn’t a dropdown option) on 5/5/26. We found this tour extremely disappointing. My mom and I love Outlander and thought this would be a highlight of our trip. Instead we were regaled with dry history ramblings by our tour guide Michael. He was training another guide, Lauren, who was lovely, but very difficult to hear over her crackling microphone. (Michael literally told Lauren “You can tailor the tour however you’d like and feel free to talk about what you find interesting.” Shouldn’t a tour be about what your customers find interesting?! Like…I don’t know, Outlander?) Michael claimed to have seen the show but barely mentioned Outlander. It would’ve been great to hear some fun facts or even do some trivia about the show. Instead it was a stream of consciousness about history he considered interesting. He spent more time recommending restaurants in Edinburgh than talking about Outlander. I dozed off a few times. Worse still, we were given so little time at all our stops. We stopped for lunch in Linlithgow and had to leave the pub before our food was brought out or we’d risk missing the bus ride to the next stop. Very lackluster and disappointing! I don’t know if it’s luck of the draw with the tour guide you get but I expected way more from Rabbie’s given their reputation. Waste of time and money.
Fantastic history lessons even for Latin Americans!
Jim Divine was excellent in the family Outlander 4 days excursion the family had. Jim shared a thorough history of the Jacobites in the 1700’s, which I enjoyed!
any time again
Tour with the queenkellyofscotland, knowledge, enthusiasic united in a great heart for Scotland, any time again😘
Fabulous experience !
The tour was honestly phenomenal !!!! Our tour guide Kelly was INCREDIBLE ! She knows so much about not only Outlander but scottish history. She made the tour even more lively and vivid. Lallybroch was awesome, Craig na dun was the HIT and the Highlands landscape to get there is breathtaking. Luckily we could go to Tibbermore, into that church where the witches'trial took place. It was fabulous ! Lucky us ! Culross palace is a must go visit for all the Outlander fan as many scenes were shot inside the building. You can also walk thru the healing plants garden where Geillis and Claire meet.... wonderful 😍
Rabbie's 4 Day Outlander Tour with Lizzie
We are just back home after two brilliant weeks in Scotland. Our last four days we did the Rabbie's 4 day Outlander tour and it was amazing! We have read the books and watched the series and so we were looking forward to seeing the various locations used in the series. Lizzie was our guide and I can't say enough about how she made this tour outstanding. You could tell she was truly wanting to make this tour a real experience for us all. Her knowledge of the history of Scotland, the Jacobites and of course the Outlander books and shows combined with her outgoing personality made the tour amazing. She took us to places off the beaten path for amazing views and experiences. I would highly reccomend Rabbie's tours, especially this four day tour with Lizzie. We also did two one day Rabbie's tours and they are well organized with guides that are all knowledgeable with clean and reliable vehicles. Having someone doing the driving, especially on the single track roads, made our trip stress free and enjoyable.
