Je suis prest! - Just home from a wonderful two day Outlander tour with Highland Experience Tours. I wasn't sure how we'd be able to fit everything on the itinerary in, but we did, and some! We were well looked after by our guide/driver, Craig, who clearly enjoys meeting new people and showing them the beautiful Highlands of Scotland. He really made the trip for us, sharing interesting anecdotes and local history with a twinkle in his eye and a sprinkle of humour, but also knowing when to allow us to just sit back and let the breathtaking surroundings speak for themselves. We felt very safe in his hands as he navigated the winding roads of Scotland. After a jam packed day one, "Castles, Highland Landscapes and Loch Ness", with an impromptu stop to meet some Highland Coos, we were dropped at our Inverness home for the night, Oakvilla Guest House, where we were warmly welcomed by owners Elizabeth and Douglas. A wee stroll around Inverness and an evening meal, with a chance to reflect on the day. A highlight for me was getting to see Midhope Castle, aka "Lallybroch", which had been on my bucket list for a while! Day two, "Standing stones, battlefields and Outlander villages" got off to a great start, with a fabulous Scottish breakfast, home cooked by Elizabeth. My sister and I had great fun at our first stop, Clava Cairns, where we were desperately trying all of the stones for their time travel potential, but alas, we stayed in 2026! Another highlight for me from day 2 was the visit to picturesque Falkland, where we saw some more recognisable spots from the show. Some feedback for the tour organisers, many of us would have preferred less time at the Scotland Folk Museum (which is lovely!) and more time at the last stop of the trip, Culross, as sadly we arrived just too late to go inside Culross Palace, where we could have seen some more Outlander filming sites. It felt like we had longer than we needed at the Folk Museum and cutting that short a bit might have meant fitting in a bit more at Culross - something to consider for future tours maybe? That being said, we still had a thoroughly enjoyable couple of days, which left us planning our next trip. It's hard to pick a favourite part of the 2 days, as I enjoyed each and every stop for different reasons, and would highly recommend it to folks who enjoy the show, and even if you've never seen Outlander, you'll still get to enjoy the breathtaking views! With only a few more episodes of Outlander, dinnae fash Sassenach, what if your future, was the past? Je suis prest!

Following Claire and Jamie through beautiful landscapes - Very well organized to the smallest detail. Beautiful landscape the highlands are magnificent. The Outlander filming locations do not disappoint, you are transported indeed in the 1700s. The last stop of the tour, the second day, we arrived too late, the last entrance to Curloss palace is at 16:00 and the palace is where most of interiors were filmed. This could be improved otherwise everything was perfect. A big thank you to our driver/guide Craig for the devotion and helpfulness

Real Outlander experience - Our guide Alex was very enthousiastic in telling about the history and relations with the Outlander show. If you are a Outlander viewer I would recommend this tour for sure. The night over at Inverness was very well organized.

February Tour - An excellent way to visit key Outlander locations and see the beauty of Scotland. Our driver Stevie B made sure that we had an exciting and informative trip. He also gave us the opportunity to experience the best of the places we visited and ensured we were looked after. Even though it was February, we were able to enjoy a range of locations and experiences. The accommodation in Inverness was very comfortable with perfect decor and service. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in Outlander, Scottish history and culture. Even those who are not familiar with the TV show will find it a fascinating and inspiring tour.

Nice trip for Outlander-Fans - It was nice and worth the money. however, a bit more background about the relation of the places to "outlander" and some insider informations would have been cool.
