Outlander Tour
What an amazing tour. Our Tour Guide Shae was awesome she was so knowledgeable on the show and the history of Scotland. We were so fortunate to have had her and loved her sense of humour. Worth the price.

Rich Scottish Countryside
Scotland’s countryside is remarkable. That is the part of the tour I appreciated. Many people went to visit a house where some of “Outlander” series was filmed. 9 euros was a waste of $ to visit a small room.

An Excellent Outlander Tour!
This Outlander Tour was exactly the right pace, giving us time to stand and feel the spots we saw in the series. Our guide, Sean Gordon was highly knowledgeable, personable, and funny. His depth of historical perspective was very valuable in understanding the locations. We really enjoyed his storytelling and wide selection of Scottish music. Highly recommended!
