Our fantastic private guided Outlander tour is a fantastic way to explore many of the on-location castles that were used in Scotland for hit TV show Outlander.

Our vehicles are the perfect size to squeeze down the country lanes that many of the locations are found whilst still being spacious and comfortable for up to 6 guests.

This is an amazing company to book through. Kenny was more than prompt and accommodating. Water and whiskey happened to be available to us. Vehicle was very clean and easy access. Kenny was very knowledgeable and pointed out so many things we can’t list them all. All in all it was a fabulous experience and we highly recommend. Thank you
We (two USA couples from Georgia) had an amazing tour of Scotland with the best tour guide in history, Calais, who became a dear friend. Frankly, all four of us agree Calais himself was the highlight of the tour because of his superb knowledge of Scottish history and his great sense of humor. We loved the scenery, the Stirling Castle (a must), Loch Lohman, Inverary Castle, a day on Skye, the Oban coastline, the Jacobite steam train, Eilean Donan castle, a night at Fonab Castle, Lindores Abbey Distilley, St. Andrews and the Old Couse, And a few off the path surprises. We also had five days of beautiful blue sky weather, no cold or rain! The best thing was discussing with the tour company months in advance what we would like to do and see and then they custom made a tour to fit those desires. We had a first class Mercedes van to enjoy the sites and zero hassle as every stop was well planned. Also our accommodations were perfect. Our last day in Edinburgh was another highlight as we won the lottery with the company owner, Sandy, also incredibly knowledgeable and personal, and who made sure we visited everything on our Edinburgh list with another beautiful day. We can't imagine a better tour guide than this company. Ask for Calais!
Calais was the BEST tour guide that took us to many of the filming locations for the Outlander series! He was SO knowledgeable about the filming and also other history. The Mercedes van was most comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!
I wasn't sure what to expect with this tour but it was the best ever! Calais did an incredible job helping the Outlander sets come to life for us with stories and his knowledge from working with the show. I only wish we could have had more days to see more! All my friends are jealous and would highly recommend this tour.
Calais our driver/guide was exceptionally good: knowledgeable, helpful, and went out of his way to include a site we wanted to visit that was not on the itinerary. Having worked on the Outlander production team, his inside knowledge was especially valuable for this tour.
Amazing trip, Alex planned it very well and was great to work with. Calais our tour guide was so much fun and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend, we made family memories for life.
Sandy arrived at Queensberry port in Edinburgh to pick us up professionally dressed in a right proper kilt. Sandy was cheerful, knowledgeable and very informative. We had an Excellent tour of Outlander filming locations and were escorted through the various sites by Sandy while being given info on the history of each site as well as the Outlander scenes that were filmed there. What a fun day! Couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend Sandy and Experienced Tours! Geri, Ross, Karie and Bryan from the Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada
We went in a luxury private van to the highlands and Loch Ness from Edinburgh. Our tour guide Alan made this experience wonderful, we enjoy the 12 hours tour. Thank you Alan!!
What a great day! Experienced Tours was great to work with, adjusting our tour so we did not duplicate something we already saw. Andy was our guide and he was fantastic. Even though we were on an Outlander tour, he was great about giving us history about the sights and the surrounding areas. He booked us a great lunch, checked in with us to make sure we were seeing what we wanted and adjusted our trip on the fly so he could drop us off at our place in Perth so we didn’t have to get a train back. He was absolutely great!! Fantastic day!
We were so excited for this tour and it did not disappoint! Sandy was an excellent guide providing insight into both Outlander and the overall Scottish history. He provided information in a way that was easy to understand and welcomed discussion. Loved his sense of humor and willingness to adjust the day based on what we said and what he thought we would enjoy! Great way to end our vacation - thank you Sandy!
