Amazing small group tour with the best guide.

To just say this tour was amazing is an understatement. Our guide Jim Divine, made this an exceptional experience. You can really tell he loves what he does. Not only with everything to do with Outlander, but Scotland and Scottish history. He is so knowledgeable and made plenty of "ninja" stops along the way for photos. He timed everything perfectly to avoid huge crowds so that our group got the best experience. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Jim.

Outstanding 4-Day Outlander Tour with "James the Divine"

Our 4-day Outlander Tour far exceeded our expectations, largely thanks to our guide, James Divine, whose knowledge, customer service, and storytelling ability shone through. Beyond seeing Outlander sites, my husband and I gained a much deeper understanding of Scottish history (including the Jacobites and Mary Queen of Scots), geography, and culture (Highlanders). Highlights are almost too many to list. A few include the scenic drive through Glencoe (magical misty green mountains), the Culloden Battlefield, Hopetoun House (site of many Outlander filming locations), and Clava Cairns. This is a small bus tour, so the guide can reach more out-of-the-way sites that large tour buses can't. We had a friendly group of 15. The seats are a bit tight. Seat belt extenders are available if needed. Rabbie's will book your accommodations for a few extra dollars, which was well worth it. Be sure to mention any mobility/disability limitations.

AMAZING 4 DAY OUTLANDER TOUR!

My friend and I had THE best 4 day Outlander Tour! Our driver, Jim Divine, was fantastic and his knowledge and interaction with us made the trip so enjoyable. We traveled from Texas to do this and have been looking forward to it for so long. You have a treasure of an employee in Jim Divine! I HIGHLY recommend this trip especially if you're an Outlander fan like me!

Amazing Outlander Tour!

We had such a great experience on Rabbie’s 4-day, 3-night Outlander tour of Scotland. It was a busy four days, but honestly, with everything we managed to see and do, I don’t think there’s any other way they could fit so much into the itinerary. Our guide, Sean Gordon, was fantastic. He’s a retired teacher and incredibly knowledgeable, and he had so many interesting details and stories to share with us along the way. He really added to the experience and made the history come alive. Of course, the castles were pretty amazing to see, but being an Outlander fan, getting to visit some of the filming locations was a real highlight for me. Seeing Lallybroch in person was definitely one of those “wow, I’m actually here!” moments. Culloden Moor was a completely different experience. I found it quite emotional standing there and thinking about what had happened on that ground. The light rain that day somehow added to the atmosphere and made it feel even more poignant. One of my favourite stops was Culross, which was used as the fictional town of Crainsmuir. I absolutely loved walking around there and recognizing places from the show. Hopetoun House was another highlight for me — it was beautiful and such an interesting place to visit. There was a lot packed into four days, and yes, there were times when we felt like we were moving pretty quickly. But when I look back at everything we saw, I really don’t know how they could have done it any other way. We got to experience so much of Scotland in a relatively short amount of time. Sean was a big part of what made the tour so enjoyable, and we came home with some wonderful memories. If you’re an Outlander fan, I would absolutely recommend this tour. And even if you’re not, it’s a great way to see parts of Scotland that you might otherwise miss.

Great tour

A great tour for Outlander and Scotland fans. Very good price-performance ratio. Definitely book the admissions and overnight stays as well. A lot depends on the driver and here we were really lucky with Graham: entertaining, funny, and always had a great story ready.
