AWESOME TRIP!!!! 5 stars isn’t enough.
Fiona was AMAZING. The trip was great. She shared interesting insights about the sites we passed and places we visited. She was even kind enough to assist with a second proposal to my wife prior to our vow renewal ceremony. I would highly recommend this trip and guide.

Outlander 1st timer
We had the pleasure of spending the day on the Outlander locations tour with our driver Cliff and our guide Fionns, and they were the perfect duo! Their knowledge, professionalism, and sense of humor made the entire experience unforgettable. The tour was wonderful from beginning to end. The scenery, the stories behind each location, and the attention to detail truly brought the Outlander world to life. Cliff made the journey smooth and comfortable, while Fionns shared fascinating history and fun facts that kept us engaged all day. We highly recommend this tour to any Outlander fan or anyone wanting to explore the beauty and history of Scotland. Thank you both for such a memorable day!
