Outlander filming locations day trip from Edinburgh

Small group, excellent knowledge of the driver. Good value for money but had to pay extra for entrance into the castles visited

Haggis Adventures is the best!

First, let me say my mother actually recommended this tour company because she had taken tons of tours with them about 2 decades ago. I can say they definitely still hold such a high standard. This particular one was such an awesome tour! Such great value for money, and our tour guide Rich was incredible. He taught us all so much Scottish history while we were driving around and he was super knowledgeable about the best parts of each stop. The drive was smooth, and the views were gorgeous. My husband and I had an amazing time and I would highly recommend not only this tour but any tour Haggis Adventures does!

Incredible

Esme was our tour guide for this experience and she was outstanding!! Funny, thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable. She would provide fun facts and stories about Scotland and Scottish history throughout the drive and it made the tour even more enjoyable. Gave us ample time at each location to make sure we made the most of each stop. Couldn’t recommend this company and Esme enough! A perfect day!

Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.

How much does Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh cost?

+

Prices start at $68 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 Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh take?

+

Plan for about 9 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 Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 57 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 Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh?

+

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 Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh 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 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh?

+

Around 20 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Outlander Filming Locations Day Tour from Edinburgh 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.
