Wonderful experience. Alex was a great guide. Views spectacular. Worth e every pound. Will recommend
This was a wonderful tour, it was small which made it all the better. Nicky was wonderful! She even had a surprise for us at Lollybroch!!!!
Hi Sarah, so lovely to hear that you had a great time on our Outlander day tour with the amazing Nicki! We are intrigued as to what the surprise was at Lallybroch... Did Jamie Fraser happen to make an appearance? So pleased the nature of our small group tour appealed and we hope to welcome you back for another wee adventure in the future. Kind regards, Amy Haggis Adventures
My guide, Nicky was so kind and very informative! I managed to be on a Saturday tour all by myself, it was fantastic! At all the stops and along the Tour she gave lots of history and Outlander related background/facts. The drive between stops was relatively brief, and I felt the whole day was well paced. I got to see a lot and never felt rushed. I would absolutely recommend for a fan of the Outlander books or TV series.
