“If you're an Outlander fan, this is an absolute MUST DO on your Scotland itinerary. We saw so many incredible places that were featured in key moments of the show.

“I don't have many characters to explain how terrible this day was, so I will separate my review into biased and unbiased information. You may form your own opinions. Unbiased information: - The sights were beautiful but we were very rushed. - The price for the tour does not include entry to every sight so expect to pay out of pocket. - The tour guide spent over 1 hour (honestly maybe more) speaking to the family behind him, broadcasting their conversation about tires, trucks, and college to the rest of the bus who were not involved in the conversation. If those things matter to you, they are things you should…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $89

Spend about nine hours visiting five Outlander locations with an English-speaking guide in a small group of up to 16. You’ll see Midhope Castle as Lallybroch, Doune Castle as Castle Leoch, Culross, Falkland, and Blackness Castle. Guides such as Dusty, Charlie, Laurie, and Ryan add Scottish history and filming stories along the way.

“The tour was great. We only saw the outside of Lallybroch because the building is condemned but the other sites we could go inside. Be aware that Viator does not give good direction on where to take the bus. If you are in Edinburgh, 26 Elder IS the bus station gate j or K formal departure for tour bus (rabies and Highland tours) and if you are in Inverness, the tour buses do not leave from the bus station but behind it in an alley. I would recommend booking with Rabbie’s tours, the driver/guide are very entertaining and are smaller groups/smaller buses.”
