Excellent day!! - Alastair was GREAT! He was very informative. He is very knowledgeable about the area and was willing to share what he knew. He truly appeared to enjoy what he does, he wasn’t just going through a script. We had a fabulous time. I would recommend this group to others!

Sing me a song….a day of Outlander sites - Heidi was a 5-star host on our tour of Outlander sites! Enlightening us with her stories of Scotland as we drove from site to site, she kept our times on the bus interesting and informative. We loved our day tour and highly recommend it to everyone - even if they’ve never seen Outlander! 😊

Outstanding Outlander Day Tour - Can’t say enough about how great Alistair's tour was. Not only with the Outlander sights but a great introduction to a lot of Scotlands landmarks and history.

Wonderful experience for a family of Outlander fans, and guide Karis was excellent! - Our tour guide Karis was an absolute delight, taking such good care of our group all day long…super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful in every way one would wish. And the authentic Inverness lilt in her voice made her a pleasure to listen to all day. Her mum should be rightfully proud. 😊 I highly recommend this tour for anyone, but especially for fans of Outlander, obviously…just the right amount of time at each castle and location and just the right amount of guidance vs self guiding. Excellent!

Highland Tours Outlander Tour OUTSTANDING! - An incredibly well-run tour company from queuing in the morning with lots of staff to directing when/where to go. Dave was an incredible guide with a great sense of humor and tons of stories almost the entire day. The few gaps were filled with Outlander music and others local music. DEFINITELY recommend this company, and we would like to return for the 3-day tour up to Isle of Sky. Dave also squeezed in a bonus stop of 15min which was not near enough time to soak in. We could easily spend 45min here at Underline Abbey and Palace which was AMAZING and should be considered for adding to this tour. No relation to Outlander, but right along the tour’s path.
