Scottish Castles Tours from Edinburgh

It’s amazing tour Steve was great, he is funny and also he’s a good driver, he told great stories during the trip and played music a long the way, he’s makes the tour very entertaining and not boaring. The scenery was spectacular even though the weather was cloudy. It’s perfect tour to see Scotland nature

We had such a good time on our tour! Nick A. shared all of his superb knowledge of the history of Scotland! And of course his knowledge of Outlander! Playing the music on the way up the lane to Lollybroch made my wife’s day! Thank you it’s an adventure we won’t soon forget!

Such a fun trip! We got to see lots of different spots and got a lot of historical information via our guide, Scot(t?). He was full of dad jokes and Braveheart tidbits, and it was very fun. There's so much to see that you end up a bit rushed, but it's worth it for having such good guides.

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.

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.

The tour was really good as we didn’t need to drive. The least you want to do on holidays drive the roads you don’t know. The highlands were really impressive. The driver Rich was very knowledgable and friendly. The only thing we would change extra 45 min would be nice after we leave ship

It was amazing, from beginning to end the sights were breathtaking and it almost felt like the weather was on our side because every time we stopped for pictures the sky would clear. Definitely recommend it! The tour guide was also excellent and told us all the story behind what we were seeing. I loved learning a bit more about Scotland’s history

The trip was super fun and the scenery was beautiful but be aware that you will not be able to see the train on the viaduct we hat to depart 20 minutes bevor it arrived also the stop at the viaduct was only one hour so there was not enough time for us so see the loch on which Dumbledore is laid to rest which is on the opposite side of the parking lot

I might be willing to give a 5-star review if our tour guide Barbara hadn’t started out the tour by loudly complaining about how much she hated Outlander, the main characters, or the lead actor himself. Completely unnecessary, rude, and downright insulting considering the fact all of us had paid a large sum for a magical Outlander specific tour. Incredibly unprofessional and downright insulting to the fans of the show and book. Would consider another Rabbie tour because of the small size, but would honestly ask for a refund if I was stuck with Barbara for another 8 hours. Actual tour was great, sites worth seeing, but Barbara sucked, for a lack of better term.

It was absolutely amazing! Seeing the Highlands and Loch Ness was so impressive, the nature was breathtakingly beautiful. Throughout the tour on the bus was pleasant as well as Erin provided us with all sorts of interesting facts and explanations about the surroundings and history of Scotland. It was amazing! I would recommend to bring your own lunch as time flies by on the stops you make so you can spend the time on eating and enjoying the breaks instead of standingin the queue to get food. I would also make a visit to the toilet a priority at every stop as the other touring busses stop at the same places you'll often have to wait in line for things. I would definitely recommend this trip. Its nice to be out of the city if you go there for a week and because it has given our first stay in Scotland(Edinburgh) a way more complete view of this amazingly beautiful country!

John was the best tour guide! He is an incredible story teller, has an awesome playlist, excellent sense of humor, and extremely knowledgeable about Scotland. We were laughing within seconds of getting on the bus. It was the best three day trip. John is very helpful and a skilled bus driver too. I wish all my subsequent tours had been with John as well. #hairycoojohn The real king of the north. I loved the kilts. You set the bar high Sir. I’m so glad my first visit to Scotland and the highlands was with the best Scott.

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.

I fully recommend this Outlander tour to any avid fan!! It was amazing! But I should point out that 2 of the places on our tour you had to pay to get in they are not included in the price you pay. Those were Midhope castle and Blackness castle. Otherwise it’s definitely worth the money! And our tour guide/bus driver Eric really made it more interesting…and entertaining! I honestly can’t recommend this tour enough, I’m a HUGE Outlander fan so this was like going to Disney land for me!

Stephen, our authentic Scottish guide, was excellent this day, a long day to be sure! We had him tour us on 6 July 2022, and strongly recommend both him and also this tour. Beautiful scenery, animals, and stops for food during the day. But the dinner stop was too short to actually get food to bring not he bus. Be advised however u r going to go 1.5-as much as 2 hrs between bus stops and bathroom breaks, as there is no toilet on board the buses.

Great way to see the countryside, castle and cruise. Paul our tour guide was great, fun and knowledgeable. Paul went the extra mile to ensure that we had a good time. Remember to take cash for the extras, no cards accepted. It would be good to have a drop off in New Town at the end of the trip.

A quick day trip into the highlands to get a taste of the region. Definitely worth the time and money. Our driver/guide Stephen was entertaining and friendly. He clearly loves his job and enjoys what he does. The bus is fairly small and not very comfortable for such a long day, but it’s ok. There are no washrooms on board but our driver made plenty of stops to accommodate us. There are no foot rests or USB chargers on the bus so be prepared as it is a long day with lots of time spent on the bus.

A brilliant day with driver William and guide Graham. The Scottish Highlands were far more beautiful and mesmerising than on photos. Went through all four seasons of weather in one day but it made it more magical. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.

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.

Exciting and beautiful bus tour…. Also great for non Outlander fan..... Lallybroch was ok..... Not much to see. Blackness Castle is absolutely great... Culross is super small but nice - beautiful for a walk... Doune Castle with an audio guide is interesting. linlitgowth-Castler unfortunately closed, but still nice to look at from the outside. Tour highly recommended. Our tour guide Jan was very friendly and told interesting stories... Everything was perfect

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.
