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.
Rick L.
We had an amazing day driving around to the different places featured in Outlander. The driver Brendan was great fun and informative which added to the day.

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!
Michelle S.
Loved the tour. Our guide, Paul, was so helpful and made sure everybody enjoyed the tour. I really liked that we learned about Harry Potter world inspirations and also got to learn the history and fun facts about Edinburgh. Would definately recommend this tour and Paul the guide!

A Five-Star Scottish Adventure Thanks to Martin! My group of five friends just returned from an incredible tour of Scotland with E2G Tours, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our guide, Martin, was truly exceptional. The service was great from start to finish. Martin is highly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history and insights everywhere we went. Crucially, he made the entire trip fun and engaging. Everything was perfectly organized and efficient, ensuring we saw so many cool things across Scotland without ever feeling rushed. It was a seamless, joyful adventure. We would absolutely do this trip all over again, especially if Martin was our guide! Highly, highly recommend E2G Tours and the fantastic Martin.

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!
Aaron G.
The tour guide was amazing 🤩 very funny, well informed and also perfect and patient driver 😉
Mildred T.
We loved being on time to all the places on our list to see

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.

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!

The tour was enjoyable and interactive. Paul was funny and very good at introducing the tour.
Brett T.
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.
Leonard H.
Absolutely incredible experience. This tour was everything we were looking for and more. George was a true gentleman, entertainer and warm guide throughout. It really felt like a road trip with a friend, and we loved George's constant grandad jokes! We will definitely ask for George next time we visit Scotland!

Best Harry Potter Tour Ever! OMG! This was absolutely the most wonderful time! Jackson is hands down the best guide I’ve ever met — an endless source of fun facts, humor, and pure passion for the world of Harry Potter. You just can’t resist his energy! Massive shout-out to our amazing Slytherin guide, Jackson 🐍💚 Aside from the magic of the tour, Edinburgh itself is breathtaking — it’s impossible not to fall in love with this city. And discovering all the Harry Potter history woven through its streets (after all, it is the birthplace of HP!) makes it a total dream for Potterheads. 10/10 would do it again! ⚡️🏰✨
Brenda A.
We loved our tour guide Paul!! So outgoing, friendly and competent!!! Because of him we learned a lot about the history of the city, the monuments and the interesting fact about the writing and the Harry Potter spots in the city!!! Appreciate it and higly recommend!!!
Nathan L.
The guide was outstanding, he was very knowledgeable about the series and Scottish history. Great sense of humor
Rebecca C.
We had a great time during our tour with Kirsty. She was an absolute hoot! Great tour, amazing vibes, interesting facts and top-shelf humor. Hats off to her for making it so interesting and amusing. 10/10 would recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful! Appreciate David for switching the order of the trip to accommodate for the weather. It gave us a fabulous walk along the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomand.
David M.
Amazing tour with our guide Bob today 24/10. He had really good curiosa and facts and was super nice. Gave us an amazing day. Could not recommend it further!!
Louis R.
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!
John T.
Beautiful views, great guide Russel, very comfortable and safe transportation.
James G.
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.
