Great tour!

This was a wonderful tour and I can't say enough good things about our guide, Wendi. She was a great driver and really well informed. She took very good care of us all day! Not only was this a nice visit to the Outlander filming locations, it was a great trip around parts of Scotland that I would never have seen on my own. I especially loved going to the small towns of Falkland and Culross. I would highly recommend this tour!!
