Very Memorable Outlander Walking Tour! - I had a really special time at the Outlander walking tour in Edinburgh. The weather was very unfortunate that day (super cold and rainy), so I was the only person who wanted to brave the weather, and I was so grateful my wonderful tour guide Sam stuck it out with me. I ended up with an awesome and personalized tour all to myself! I loved the mix of Outlander info (both TV show and book) and Scottish history and was also happy my tour guide was an enthusiastic Outlander fan. It was a really unique and special afternoon and I highly recommend it to any Outlander fan visiting Edinburgh.

Fantastic walking tour! - My mum and I recently took this tour during our trip to Scotland - wow! Sam was super informative, allowed us to take our time and provided us with so many Outlander sites. It was an added bonus to be able to see pictures from filming and close up shots of Catriona and Sam. Absolutely wonderful! Would recommend to any Outlander fan.

Outstanding Outlander Walking Tour - Not only did I get a great tour of Outlander locations, I got the benefit of Josh's love and knowledge of Edinburgh's history and architecture. Josh took the time to show me some really interesting architectural features of buildings that I would not have noticed or seen for myself. I would definitely recommend this walking tour to Outlander fans and anyone interested in Edinburgh.

great for outlander fans - We took the tour in early September 2018. Sam was our guide. She was a fan of all things Outlander and had met the actors and Diana several times. She had also been on some of the filming locations. She shared her personal stories and pictures as well as showing us the sites in Edinburgh related to Outlander. She also gave us some history of Edinburgh and of what it was like to live there during the mid 18th century. The group was small so we all had a chance to ask questions and to take pictures. It made for a great afternoon and as a fan myself was one of the best times I had in Scotland.

Outlander Tour of Edinburgh - Our tour guide, Sam, really knew her stuff, she was definitely NOT just working to a script. She's passionate and knowledgeable about Edinburgh and its history and she knows all there is to know about both the Outlander books and the TV show. And she weaves the two together beautifully. The full package for Outlander fans! She also shows you pictures of the day she was a guest on the Outlander set and watched some iconic scenes being filmed in Edinburgh. It was a really fun tour.

Just ok - I don't recommend this tour in fall or winter.. it started at 7 PM - was dark for most of tour and at the end couldn't even see Holyrood cuz it wasn't lit up and it was pitch black dark. So we just looked through a gate at nothing but darkness. A lot of the tour is looking at pictures on the guides phone. It just seemed silly. One of the points of interest we looked at in a dark close was the location of where the coffee service was while shooting- not necessarily a highlight. Honestly there was not much to this tour that you couldn't just do and find on your own with a little research.

Not enough Outlander - Too many personal and unrelated anecdotes for my liking. I was there to hear and see OUTLANDER info ONLY!
