Edinburgh Tours & Excursions

A must-do! This is a packed day with a lot of time spent on the coach, but our guide, Erin, and driver, Shug, made the time fly by. In between playing music by Scottish and Gallic artists, to telling us facts about the area we drove through, the miles go by fast and the sights are amazing. Aside from the main attractions, the Kelpies, castles and lochs are an added bonus. Highly recommended!

Such a fun and entertaining day exploring the Scottish Highlands. Ryan was our guide and he was a blast. Playing great local music and telling stories of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The scenery is spectacular and the trip on Loch Ness a highlight. Would definitely recommend!

Really great tour! Euan our tour guide was very well spoken and educated on Scottish history. The bus ride was a little long, but was well worth it because of the frequent outstanding stops for pictures and snacks. We spent the extra 20 quid for the Loch Ness boat tour and that was also well worth the cost.

It was incredible but we need it more time at Glenfinnan to see the Jocobite train. Our guide was very explicit about Scotland history, very entertaining. Thank you again!!

We had a fantastic day with Steven B who was funny and informative! We liked the stories mixed with the history, and adding the music was a great touch too! Lots of stops and we saw more than expected from the road, including the Kelpies and lots of castles as well as the gorgeous scenery of the Highlands. Definitely worth visiting Urquhart Castle and doing the Loch Ness boat tour (optional extras).

As a fan out of Outlander, I loved this! Got to see much and Brandon was funny and chatty which I appreciate. He fed us with interesting facts along the way and would definitely consider doing this again whenever my next Edinburgh trip is!

Harrison was our guide. He led us through J.K Rowling inspirations to write Harry Potter. He was engaging, knowledgeable and entertaining. Made us see Edinburgh through different lenses. Real magic atmosphere. We truly enjoyed it. He has also given great suggestions for restaurants and things to visit

The Harry Potter tour in Edinburgh was excellent and easily one of the best tours I have ever visited. The guide was engaging and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the city and how it inspired many elements of the Harry Potter series. Walking through the historic streets and seeing the real locations connected to the books made the experience feel magical. The tour was well organized, fun, and full of interesting details that even big fans might not know. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh, whether you are a Harry Potter fan or simply interested in the city’s history.

A great way to see the highlands, entertaining stories about every point of interest on the way, well timed stops, breath taking scenery, discounted tickets for boat on Loch Ness, great recommendations where to eat and what to explore on stops. The mood on board was great, was a packed bus of happy people. My children are 8 & 9, they found it a long day, we all did but it was worth every minute.

My mom and I had a great time on the Outlander tour. We went on this tour not because it featured properties that were featured in the TV series, but because we wanted to visit these properties. The tour guide and driver were amazing (David Ewan) and they made the day so much fun with their great personalities and stories. It was a great tour to go on whether you are a fan of the TV series or if you just want to see some really interesting historical sites.

This tour was super. A really enjoyable and educational day. Our tour guide Graham was excellent his knowledge of Outlander and also the local area and history was brilliant. A really enjoyable and Covid compliant trip. Great value for money and an overall wonderful experience.

Great experience. Really knowledgeable and interesting guide. Couldn’t believe how much we learned and saw in the 12 hours. The rest stops are a bit limited food wise, so if you have any allergies or special dietary requirements definitely stock up before hand. If you don’t though, then you’ll find something easily at each place. Would recommend and do again. The day flew by.

Had the best day. Our driver and tour guide Rob was fantastic. Rob was very informative and had many stories to tell. The beauty of the Scottish Highlands is so spectacular I will definitely be back again. Make sure you chose the boat cruise and visit the castle. Both are awesome. Cruising on Loch Ness was gorgeous and serene. The weather was perfect and stops along the way were also fabulous. Loved every minute.

A great trip that is definitely worth going on. Breathtaking views, fantastic guide. Very sociable, he had a lot of funny jokes in his party, but also stories about the area told in an interesting way, there was also some Scottish music on the board of the bus. Great atmosphere. Only the stops could be slightly longer in one place and shorter in another.

We had a wonderful day touring a lot of the sites where the series Outlander was filmed. The van we were on was very comfortable we felt very safe throughout the day. Our driver Dougie he was very informative and a great source of information about Scotland in general. We would highly recommend to other fans of the series Outlander of those that just want to see part of the Scottish countryside.

Amazing morning tour with Kieran! He was knowledgeable, fun and funny. We are all big HP fans but his trivia questions along the way were great to learn new things about the books and movies mixed with facts and history of the city. Highly recommend!

What a great and fun tour! Leo made it so much fun. Loved his stories and enthusiasm. Highly recommend. Best start to our trip. Thank you!

At first I thought 12 hours would be a long trip to take, and going in winter with less sunlight would make it less enjoyable. But the time was well worth it and the winter experience added to the excitement as there was changes from place to place along the way, from rain to snow, overcast to clear blue skys. Our tour guild was very good and with a wonderful way of sharing history and local knowledge. Highly recommended and will treasure my trip.

It was a great day. Well planned too. We had plenty of time at each stop. Lizzie , our guide, was very informative on Scottish history and plenty of stories too. Wonderful day

The tour guide, Michael, was excellent. Great driver, entertaining and knowledgeable. Felt 4.5 hours on a bus one way to look at a lake and a fair bit of commerce was a bit much. The info along the way and the highlands saved the day. I think the tour company should have warned about boat ride tickets before we left Edinburgh as we couldn't buy them later as they were sold out by the time we got to Fort Augustus.
