Best Tour Ever - We had the best time going to each of the Outlander sites. Our tour guy was the best. He knew about so many things Oulander, Edinburgh and many other movies. We listen to Scottish music traveling from site to site. We even had 3 boys with us ages, 9, 7, 4 and they were interested and tired by the end of the day.

An incredibly wonderful day! - I'm certainly not an expert on tours and tour guides, but this trip with Alan absolutely could not have been better, unless it had been more than a day that is!!! If you are going to take a tour in Scotland, you MUST have a native Scotlander as your guide and Alan fits the bill hands down!!! His knowledge, sense of humor, patience and the love of his country made this trip quite memorable and I would take another trip with him in an instant!!! Thank you Alan, from Princess and the dance group.

Best tour Ever! Loved By All of Us! - Allan of Ecosse Day Tours was an amazing guide. We were 5 people from 28-71 men and women who just loved the day. Allan is so knowledgeable and and fun that everyone saw and did what made them happy. His charming personality set the tone and his very impressive background was of great interest to us. The Outlander fans got our fill but non fans were also wowed .He also knew how to avoid the crowds so we never felt rushed. Do book this tour! And Allan--You had us at hello!

His passion and love for the history of Scotland exuded from him. He adjusted the schedule to please us....we had to see Highland cattle, and he showed us the best place to buy cashmere. He is a true Scotsman, wears a kilt and sporran everyday. We had such an enjoyable day and the Mercedes van is comfortable, spacious and he provides drinks. When I go back I'll DEFINITELY use him again.</p>
