First, let me say my mother actually recommended this tour company because she had taken tons of tours with them about 2 decades ago. I can say they definitely still hold such a high standard. This particular one was such an awesome tour! Such great value for money, and our tour guide Rich was incredible. He taught us all so much Scottish history while we were driving around and he was super knowledgeable about the best parts of each stop. The drive was smooth, and the views were gorgeous. My husband and I had an amazing time and I would highly recommend not only this tour but any tour Haggis Adventures does!
Esme was our tour guide for this experience and she was outstanding!! Funny, thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable. She would provide fun facts and stories about Scotland and Scottish history throughout the drive and it made the tour even more enjoyable. Gave us ample time at each location to make sure we made the most of each stop. Couldn’t recommend this company and Esme enough! A perfect day!
Beautiful countryside and castles. More than just an outlander fan tour, you see beautiful landscape and learn Scottish history.
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.
Charlie was an amazing guide! It was so fun and full of information! All of the locations did not disappoint with plenty of time to browse without feeling rushed.
Dusty was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of history and the tv series outlander was wonderful. He had great stories that kept everyone’s interest. I enjoyed the day.
Fun outing with lots of great themed stops and very knowledgeable/experienced guide, Charlie.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you found our driver guide Charlie to be knowledgeable and experienced, we hope to have you on tour with us in the future. Kind regards, Paige - Sales and Reservations.
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.
