Got to see every castle without the busyness of the ones in the cities. Our guide was very helpful and pleasant with lots of stories and great music
It involves a lot of walking on uneven surfaces, but it is worth it. Our guide Wendi was very knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and also how it was woven into the Outlander story. She was easy to understand and she was very funny and nice. It was exciting to see the filming locations.
Fantastic tour, our tour guide Graeme had a wealth off knowledge on the history of all the places we visited. We would highly recommend Haggis Tours.

Ryan was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about Outlander, but also about many other important places around Edinburgh. He was funny, engaging, and did a fantastic job keeping everyone’s attention while also making sure the group stayed on schedule. The tour itself was phenomenal. We got to visit all the stops we were hoping to see, and everything was very well organized. Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic experience.
An excellent experience! Perfect for the solo traveler. Saw all of the Outlander sites listed and our amazing guide Rich commentator the history of the area -such a knowledgeable, fun and friendly guide. I also stopped in the office for a min and the office staff was amazingly helpful and friendly too. Vehicle was exceptional, comfortable. The whole thing was effortless for me, I just showed up, had a wonderful time and made new friends!
