Fantastic tour for Outlander lovers!
What a fantastic day! We saw multiple spots from the Outlander series and got to tour them and learn about filming, we got many history lessons from William. He really tailored the experience to make sure we were happy. He even stopped at a few extra spots for us to take pictures, such as the William Wallace monument and we were grateful. William was a great tour guide and he was warm and kind. We really enjoyed the fact that the tour was private. Overall, we just really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank You for such a lovely review, so pleased that William looked after you and the Outlander Tour met expectations. We agree that taking a private tour is the very best way of exploring Scotland. We appreciate your business and will ensure William is passed your kind words.

We had a very cosy trip...
We had a very cosy trip to lots of Outlander places with this very friendly guy William, who also had lots of humour. All he showed to us was very impressing, without being too much exhausting. While being taken to the places we had time for our own thoughts about what we had seen, but bis answers to all our questions have eben very competent. So we have been very content being taken to this tour. Sabine and Monika
Response from the operator: THank you Sabine and Monika, so pleased William gave you a great experience. I will ensure your kind words are passed on.

Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh cost?
+
Prices start at $766 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 Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Luxury Private 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 Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Outlander Luxury Private 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 The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking 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.
What is included in Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh?
+
Included: Bottled Water; Wi-Fi Access; Services & Stories of a Scottish Local; Cruise Ship Pickup and Drop-Off; and Door to Door Service from Edinburgh. Not included: Entrance Fees to Visitor Attractions; and Gratuities (Passenger Discretion). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 200 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh?
+

Is Outlander Luxury Private Day Tour from Edinburgh wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
