Highly recommended day out
This was a very enjoyable day away from Edinburgh to see some of the Outlander film locations. Tam was a great tour guide and went above and beyond to make the day a wonderful experience. Particularly loved the visit to Falkland at the end of the day. Thanks Tam!

Tam's dedication to going above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience is truly appreciated, and we're glad he made your day special.

A day full of Outlander - a day full of happiness
Beryl picked us up on time at the agreed meeting point in a comfortable Mercedes. Then we got coffee together and our journey could begin. Our journey was accompanied by Beryl's stories and information about Edinburgh and Scotland. Very informative and, because there were only two of us travelling, also detailed. Our first stop was: Midhope Castle or Lallybroch. Because we had started early, we were lucky and had Lallybroch almost to ourselves. Of course we had to take pictures of everything and Beryl was happy to help us with that too. The second stop was at Blackness Castle or, for Outlander fans, Fort William. A great "film set" on the Firth of Forth. The journey continued from Linlithgow via Falkirk, past the famous Kelpies, to Doune. As the name of the place says, so is the castle, Doune Castle, or Leoch Castle, the seat of the MacKenzie clan. The journey then took us, hungry, to "The Woodside" in Doune, which Beryl had chosen for us and which she highly recommends. Well fortified, Beryl led us through the Glendevon Valley, a beautiful Scottish landscape. The next highlight was Falkland, or: Inverness in Outlander. A typical Scottish town where "Mrs. Baird's B&B can be found". After a short drive, we reached Dysart Harbour, which served as the backdrop for Le Havre. A short walk along the harbour and we unfortunately had to make our way back. Beryl's family was waiting for her and the way back to Edinburgh, at the end of the working day, was waiting for all of us. With a coffee stop on the way, we reached the Scottish capital safely and soundly. My conclusion: a great day, packed with Outlander, which Beryl organized and carried out brilliantly. I can highly recommend her and TRIPorganiser Scotland.
Response from the operator: Liebe Billa, vielen Dank für eure tolle Bewertung! Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass ihr eine wunderbare Zeit mit mir als Ihrem Reiseführer und TRIPorganiser Scotland hattet. Ich bin froh, dass euch die pünktliche Abholung in unserem komfortablen Mercedes gefallen hat. Es war mir eine Freude, euch während der Fahrt informative Geschichten und Informationen über Edinburgh und Schottland zu erzählen. Es war besonders schön, dass ihr die Reise nur zu zweit gemacht habt, so konnte ich euch ausführliche Informationen geben. Es klingt nach einem perfekten Start mit dem Besuch von Midhope Castle oder Lallybroch, bei dem wir das Glück hatten, den Ort fast für uns alleine zu haben. Es war mir eine Freude, euch beim Festhalten der besonderen Momente behilflich zu sein. Der zweite Halt beim Blackness Castle oder Fort William war sicherlich ein toller Ort für Outlanderfans und bot eine beeindruckende Filmkulisse am Firth of Forth. Unsere Weiterfahrt führte uns über Linlithgow und Falkirk, vorbei an den berühmten Kelpies, nach Doune, wo wir das Doune Castle oder die Burg Leoch besuchten. Es freut mich zu hören, dass euch das von mir ausgewählte Restaurant "The Woodside" in Doune gefallen hat. Die Fahrt durch das Glendevon Tal bot sicherlich eine atemberaubende schottische Landschaft, und Falkland als das Inverness in Outlander war sicherlich ein weiteres Highlight. Der Besuch des Dysart Harbour als Kulisse für Le Havre rundete den Tag ab, bevor wir leider den Rückweg antreten mussten. Ich kann Ihnen versichern, dass eure Zufriedenheit und Sicherheit für mich immer oberste Priorität haben. Es war mir eine Freude, diesen Tag vollgepackt mit Outlander für euch zu organisieren und zu begleiten. Nochmals vielen Dank für eure Empfehlung von mir und TRIPorganiser Scotland. Ich hoffe, dass ich euch in Zukunft erneut bei einer Reise durch Schottland begleiten darf. Zögert nicht, euch bei weiteren Fragen oder Anliegen an mich zu wenden. Mit herzlichen Grüßen, Beryl

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Outlander Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Outlander Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,076 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 Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour 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 Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour?
+
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 Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour 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 Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour 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 Odyssey: Outlander Filming Locations Private Day Tour?
