Five Outlander locations , Outlander film locations tour

Viator chose Private Tours Edinburgh for our Outlander Tour. Our driver was David. We expected our guide to be very knowledgeable about Outlander and also about Scotland in general as we would be in the car for a lot of the day but unfortunately this did not happen. Most Scots are very talkative but not David. If my husband did not ask any questions I honestly don't think he would have talked much at all. He texted me an email late the night before knowing we were at a hotel and said we would need to pack a lunch because we wouldn't have time to stop. We were meeting the next morning at 9am so how would we do that?? A whole day tour and we can't stop to pick up food? He did have to stop of course. We paid extra for this private tour and this did not fit the bill. If you are a real Outlander lover you would not want to use this person, I am sorry to say. The next day we had a tour with Ecosse Executive of Edinburgh and when we told him our situation from the day before he couldn't believe it and immediately called his partner (who was off the next day) to take us out the following day to some more of the Outlander stops and he said yes and was WONDERFUL!! I would highly recommend Ecosse Executive and Paul for the Outlander Tour. We had Alan for Edinburgh tour and he was fantastic! They both cared that we had a great experience and we did with them.

Thoroughly enjoyed our day in this tour. David is super friendly and really knowledgeable. Grateful to be guided around by an expert and the sites were amazing as well. Thank you David.

David was an excellent driver and guide who cheerfully offered tidbits of accurate historical background, as well as filmmaking trivia related to Outlander, Game of Thrones, James Bond, Monty Python, Downton Abbey and other movies and television series that were filmed in areas of Scotland. Even though this was technically an "Outlander" tour, he was well versed in everything else you could think of, including one of my favorites: Doctor Who! He answered all my random questions about sites we passed and offered stories about others that I didn't even know existed. He told me about natural geological features of the land and even explained some of the cultural differences between Highland and Lowland Scots. David knows the best routes to get to each location, where the entrances are, and where the ticket offices are located (if they're separate from the entrances). He makes sure you see him when you come out, so you don't need to worry about wandering around looking for him when you've finished looking at a site. I highly recommend this private tour service! It's so much more personalized and efficient than group tours and coaches!
