- Culross - The journey continues to the Royal Burgh of Culross, a remarkable example of a 17th-century village, located on the Fife coast on the northern side of the Forth River. Outlander enthusiasts will recognize this charming village as the Mercat Cross, featured as Cranesmuir Village in the series.
- St. Andrews - Arriving in the breathtaking medieval town of St Andrews just in time for lunch and refreshments, visitors can explore the historic town. St Andrews is rich in history, hosting Scotland’s oldest university, a renowned cathedral, a famous golf course, and is where Prince William met Kate. It is named after Scotland’s Patron Saint. To discover more about St Andrew and his dedicated day, visitors can choose to visit the Castle or the Cathedral for an additional fee paid directly to the attraction (optional extra).
- Falkland - Falkland, a delightful village in Fife, is the next stop on the tour. Known for its rich history, scenic streets, and ties to Scottish royalty, the town’s renaissance palace was a favored retreat for the Stuart Kings and Queens. Outlander fans might also recognize Falkland’s streets as 1940s Inverness in the show. Visitors have the option to visit Falkland Palace for an additional fee paid directly to the attraction (optional extra).
- Queensferry - On the return journey to Glasgow, there will be a photo stop at an engineering marvel. Spanning three centuries of Scottish industry and innovation, the three bridges across the Forth—the Queensferry Crossing, the Forth Road Bridge, and the Forth Rail Bridge—are a spectacular sight. From here, it is only a short distance before returning to Glasgow, concluding the 1-day tour.

Neil was awesome...5 stars - Did a full day tour from Glasgow in a smaller van, only 14 people on the tour. Neil was very knowledgeable about the areas we were driving through and the attractions we were seeing. Was very prompt and always felt safe with his driving skills. His "dad" jokes, as well call them in the US, were funny. I would be happy to be on another tour that he would guide. Great day, great weather, great time.

Glasgow Day Tour - Small group tour. Connor was our driver and guide. He was exceptionally attentive, professional and polite. Allowed plenty of time at every stop and explained everything in detail; he answered questions and shared customs/traditions/history.
We enjoyed our tour to Glasgow and would enjoy having Connor as our guide in future tours!!!

Disappointed in instructions from Viator - I missed this tour due to poor instructions and timing. I left my hotel for bus station 45 minutes early. My uber driver got caught in traffic and arrived 15 minutes late which got me outside the bus station at exactly the correct time. By the time I figured out where the tour busses were, as opposed to the main part of the bus station, they had left. Very disappointed.
