An unforgettable journey through the history of Scotland. In the footsteps of William Wallace
The tour was very well organized and we had the opportunity to see many iconic places. In particular, we want to highlight our guide, Ruth, who was an excellent professional, very attentive, kind, and with incredible knowledge of the history and the places visited. Without a doubt, we give it a 10 and would totally recommend this experience.

Endearing family trip and waiting for the prize for Nesi.
Simple, pleasant and for being a trip of many hours, very entertaining due to Samuel's continuous explanations. The truth is it's like listening to a very well-informed and pleasant radio announcer.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace cost?
+
Prices start at $74 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 Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace take?
+
Plan for about 12.5 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 Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 96 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace?
+
Around 34 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 12.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Excursión a las Highlands, Mirador de la Reina y William Wallace 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, Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour. 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.
