Day Trips from Edinburgh

The tour guide was amazing 🤩 very funny, well informed and also perfect and patient driver 😉

If you are have limited time in Edinburgh, don't want to trouble yourself with driving and love to hear stories about the highlands, then this is it! With no doubt, Steve is a wonderful person who have tons of knowledge and histories to share with you. Also, he's very funny, very Scottish, he said, I quote "know how to speak Gaelic". He also can point to you which shops sell the best chippy and bread! The only reason I wouldn't recommend this trip is if you have motion sickness because highlands can be a little snake pass. But hey! That's a thrill for some others ;)

This was my favorite tour that I took while in Edinburgh. Pete was a fantastic tour guide. He was funny and had an awesome playlist. He told us lots of great information that we hadn’t heard yet. There were plenty of stops for bathrooms and snacks. He recommended a great place for lunch and even threw in an extra surprise stop. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

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

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.

It was an amazing tour, the only thing that for me would improve it, would be few more minutes to eat in the last stop. Besides that, this day is one of the highlights of my trip, was an incredible experience to know this region of breathtaking landscapes, I wish I could go back soon.

Our guide was energetic, informative about history and funny. He made sure we knew enough to get the most out of each stop, the scenery along the way, and to eat well while still keeping things on schedule. It was a highlight for our group of 5 to be able to just take it all in, at a reasonable pace, and to see first-hand why Outlander wisely made use of so many incredible venues and scenery in Scotland. I'd do a Rabbie's tour again anytime, and use Getmyguide on my jaunts around the world. Fabulous!

Martin is an outstanding tour guide. His knowledge and fun facts kept us in awe of his memory for details. He is a kind, fun, empathetic man who clearly enjoys his job and is a good driver too! I have been on many tours and this one has been a standout. Largely due to Martin! Thank you !

Very good tour with an entertaining, informative guide, Greggor (his mom should be proud of him 😊), well-planned itinerary and a fun surprise stop! Really enjoyed the castle and the amazing views on the drive. Well organized check-in process in the morning. Highly recommend the company and tour.

Absolutely lovely day! Andy was a great guy, very kind, a good sense of humour & pleasant company! Thank you so much Andy! What a beautiful day around key places of the Outlander show. The pace was perfect with lots of time to see. Never felt rushed, a good balance between being guided & having free time! Highly recommended even if you are not an Outlander nerd, those places are stunning & worth being seen!

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 finally got to see Outlander sights! I’ve been to Scotland a few times and keep missing the sights but finally got the chance to this trip and it was amazing! I have a fear of driving in Europe and as such I can’t drive myself places so tours and guides like this are such a great help to see all the places you want. And to end it ark Midhope aka Lallybroch was such a great end to a great day. Cannot recommend enough.

This was a fun tour and great if you don’t have much time to fully visit the highlands. I would have liked more time at the viaduct and memorial, and at Glencoe, and less time at the shops/eating areas where there wasn’t much to do other than buy food or souvenirs.

Excellent trip, excellent guide/driver called B dog! he was a little different in a nice way, thoroughly enjoyed the day.

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.

My sister and I really enjoyed this trip. We knew beforehand that it was a long drive and that most of the time would be spent on the bus so that wasn’t a surprise. Of course we wished we had more time for pictures or more stops in the highlands of Scotland, but for a day trip it was amazing. Our guid and driver, Peter, was amazing, he had lots of useful information (historical, geographical, technical, fun facts) and he even played some scottish music for us. For lunch we went to the Bridge Cafe, the food there is amazing, perfect comfort food. We had the leek and potatos soup and it was just what we needed as we watched the drizzle outside. Loch Ness has a breathtaking view, we could not make ourselves leave the place. We are so glad we decided to choose this trip.

This tour was top notch. Our guide, Mia, was so knowledgeable and told us many stories along the way. She offered suggestions and was so pleasant. I would highly recommend this tour and company. Until next time!

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.

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!

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!
