Not Enough Stars!!
There simply are not enough stars to describe how much I enjoyed the 4 Day Outlander Trail tour. Simon, our guide, was the quintessential Scotsman and shared his abundant knowledge of all things Outlander and Scottish history with such generosity and humor. I never imagined seeing so many recognizable filming sites - it felt like a dream. Simon took us off the beaten path, from Edinburgh to Inverness, and so many stops in between that I’ve lost count. The accommodations were lovely and convenient to local eateries. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and looked after every step of the way. Scotland is simply stunning and I would do it all again tomorrow if I could!

Excellent!
Excellent tour guide is Lizzie! One of the best I’ve been on, ever! She is extremely knowledgeable, is a wealth of Scottish history and sprinkles in stories and music to match. We all gladly went on walks in the rain and she rearranged some stops to take into account the weather.

Trip of a lifetime! Thank you wonderful Jim Divine!!
We've just done the 4 day Outlander tour from Edinburgh with Jim Divine. I wish there was an option to give it ten stars! We have really had the most fantastic time. As Outlander fans, this was definitely a trip of a lifetime. What really made it so fantastic was being with a great bunch of people in our small group and our guide Jim who is just such a lovely man and made everyone feel so comfortable and looked after. His passion for this beautiful place really shines. I loved all of his interesting stories and history knowledge. He really is the kind of person you could just listen to all day. And we did! Haha! I didn't get out my kindle to read once because I was just so fascinated by the tales of Scottish history. My highlights were walking around the battlefield at Culloden which was hauntingly beautiful and of course seeing the locations from Outlander, Lallybroch, Blackness Castle, and Falkland. Also loved seeing all the Highland coos. What a treat. I would recommend to bring a decent lightweight rain coat and some waterproof trousers to throw on because the Highlands are a different climate every five minutes. We've had sun, rain, hail all within the same day. The accommodation in Inverness and Perth were great. Good breakfasts and friendly staff. I loved all the places we stopped for lunch. I was a little worried about this part because I have some weird dietary restrictions but there were always plenty of options on the menus. My mum is a little unsteady on her feet at times and there were a few little walks and steps but she managed and only had to do what she was comfortable with. It never felt too much. I really can't recommend this more highly. I think it should come with a health warning that you'll never want to leave Scotland. The only downside was that I touched every 4000 year old stone I could get my hands on and still seem to be solidly in 2026! We are already planning our next Rabbies Tour for next year. Thank you Jim, everyone in our group, and Rabbies for a wonderful experience. We loved every minute. Michelle and Sheila :)

The best ever outlander experience
Our 4-day Outlander tour was, without question, one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had, and Graham made it truly unforgettable. From the moment the tour began, Graham’s passion for Scotland and Outlander shone through. His knowledge was absolutely incredible—like travelling with a walking encyclopaedia! Whether he was sharing fascinating Scottish history, local legends, filming locations, or behind-the-scenes Outlander facts, every story brought the landscapes to life. Graham’s enthusiasm, humour, and warmth created such a wonderful atmosphere throughout the tour. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an amazing experience, and his love for Scotland was genuinely infectious. We learned so much, visited breathtaking places, and came away with a much deeper appreciation of both the country and the Outlander story. If you’re considering an Outlander tour, don’t hesitate—especially if Graham is your guide. This was a truly exceptional experience that we’ll be talking about for years to come. Thank you, Graham, for making our Scottish adventure so special! ❤️🏴📖✨

Outlander Experience Tour - disappointing!
I did the 1-day Outlander tour (wasn’t a dropdown option) on 5/5/26. We found this tour extremely disappointing. My mom and I love Outlander and thought this would be a highlight of our trip. Instead we were regaled with dry history ramblings by our tour guide Michael. He was training another guide, Lauren, who was lovely, but very difficult to hear over her crackling microphone. (Michael literally told Lauren “You can tailor the tour however you’d like and feel free to talk about what you find interesting.” Shouldn’t a tour be about what your customers find interesting?! Like…I don’t know, Outlander?) Michael claimed to have seen the show but barely mentioned Outlander. It would’ve been great to hear some fun facts or even do some trivia about the show. Instead it was a stream of consciousness about history he considered interesting. He spent more time recommending restaurants in Edinburgh than talking about Outlander. I dozed off a few times. Worse still, we were given so little time at all our stops. We stopped for lunch in Linlithgow and had to leave the pub before our food was brought out or we’d risk missing the bus ride to the next stop. Very lackluster and disappointing! I don’t know if it’s luck of the draw with the tour guide you get but I expected way more from Rabbie’s given their reputation. Waste of time and money.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that the tour fell short of expectations for both you and your mom, particularly as Outlander fans who had been looking forward to the experience. As mentioned in our direct correspondence, our Outlander tour is designed to explore the filming locations alongside the wider history and stories connected to the places visited, but we do expect our driver guides to bring those connections to life in an engaging and enjoyable way. I’m sorry to hear that the balance of commentary and overall experience didn’t feel right for you on this occasion. I’m also sorry that some of the stops felt rushed, particularly your time in Linlithgow. While factors such as traffic and timing constraints during the day can occasionally impact stop durations, I completely understand how disappointing this must have felt, especially when trying to enjoy lunch and make the most of the locations visited. We appreciate your comments regarding the microphone difficulties during guide training as well, and this feedback has been shared internally. I regret that this tour felt like a waste of time and money, but I do hope the refund we arranged has gone some way towards acknowledging your disappointment and experience with us and reassures you that customer experience is of utmost importance to us. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share it. I hope we'll get the chance to welcome you back on board again soon, and provide the full experience you were hoping for. Thanks, Jo

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does 4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions cost?
+
Prices start at $784 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is 4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 91 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 504 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions?
+
Around 32 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-Day Outlander Trail Tour from Edinburgh Including Admissions start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands, Edinburgh: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Fort William, Edinburgh Ghost Tour: Mysteries, Legends and Murders. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
