Strongly recommend - Outstanding tour. Highly detailed and accommodating. We learned more than we expected. The guy was able to make the street come alive and away we wouldn’t have experienced on her own.

Outlander walking tour - Guide Josh very good. In addition to the outlander series, he told very interesting stories about the city, was a very good addition to the tour. We walked the entire royal mile and ended with a visit to the stairs of the “print shop” where Jamie meets Claire in the third season.

Visit to the Outlander film set - Our guide Sam has brought us closer to the most important locations in Edingburgh with extensive knowledge and a lot of sympathy. The leadership was with so much passion .

Very Memorable Outlander Walking Tour! - I had a really special time at the Outlander walking tour in Edinburgh. The weather was very unfortunate that day (super cold and rainy), so I was the only person who wanted to brave the weather, and I was so grateful my wonderful tour guide Sam stuck it out with me. I ended up with an awesome and personalized tour all to myself! I loved the mix of Outlander info (both TV show and book) and Scottish history and was also happy my tour guide was an enthusiastic Outlander fan. It was a really unique and special afternoon and I highly recommend it to any Outlander fan visiting Edinburgh.

Fantastic walking tour! - My mum and I recently took this tour during our trip to Scotland - wow! Sam was super informative, allowed us to take our time and provided us with so many Outlander sites. It was an added bonus to be able to see pictures from filming and close up shots of Catriona and Sam. Absolutely wonderful! Would recommend to any Outlander fan.

Outstanding Outlander Walking Tour - Not only did I get a great tour of Outlander locations, I got the benefit of Josh's love and knowledge of Edinburgh's history and architecture. Josh took the time to show me some really interesting architectural features of buildings that I would not have noticed or seen for myself. I would definitely recommend this walking tour to Outlander fans and anyone interested in Edinburgh.

Just ok - I don't recommend this tour in fall or winter.. it started at 7 PM - was dark for most of tour and at the end couldn't even see Holyrood cuz it wasn't lit up and it was pitch black dark. So we just looked through a gate at nothing but darkness. A lot of the tour is looking at pictures on the guides phone. It just seemed silly. One of the points of interest we looked at in a dark close was the location of where the coffee service was while shooting- not necessarily a highlight. Honestly there was not much to this tour that you couldn't just do and find on your own with a little research.

The lady who did this tour was very nice - It was interesting, but I find the price too expensive. The tour lasted an hour. I took an Outlander bus trip the next day, was out 9std and paid just 10€ more.
