Perfect Day near Edinburgh
We had a great tour with Phil Crowder. What a perfectly pleasant man who is friendly, easy to understand, knowledgeable and so kind. He put together a great itinerary that was thoughtful to me (Outlander fan) and my husband who is more of a history buff. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Phil and see more of the beautiful Scottish countryside!
Response from the operator: Many tanks Karen for your wonderful feedback of our popular Outlander tour from Edinburgh, Phil will be grateful for you mentioning him by name

Highly Recommend this Outlander Inspired Tour!
We had such a wonderful time on our Outlander Highlights & Castles tour in Scotland! It was a fantastic way to see some beautiful locations and learn more about the places featured in the show. Our tour guide, Daryl, was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day enjoyable. He shared interesting stories and information along the way and did a great job making the tour feel fun and personal. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves Outlander, Scottish history, beautiful castles, or simply wants to experience more of Scotland. Daryl was a great guide and truly made the experience special!
Response from the operator: What a great review and fantastic feedback, it's always nice to hear when our guides have stepped up to give the best experience on the day

Amazing guide and Tour with E2G Tours
Amazing day spent with Corinne. She showed us many of the places that Outlander had been filmed and shared the stories of the film and also the history of the places we visited. Corinne was very knowledgeable and engaging during our tour. We learned many things about Scotland in general that we did not know. It is always fun to spend the day with a local and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. E2G Tours is an absolutely amazing Tour Company - the owner Martin is very responsive and kind and listens to his clients and makes suggestions which have all been wonderful. I highly recommend E2G Tours for anyone visiting this area of Scotland.
Response from the operator: It has been an absolute pleasure to plan these tours with you, and we are so pleased that you have found them enjoyable, and our guides knowledgeable. We hope to be able to organise many more day tours for you :)

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Outlander Private Tour from Edinburgh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Outlander Private Tour from Edinburgh cost?
+
Prices start at $748 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 Private 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 Private Tour from Edinburgh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Private 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 Private 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 Private Tour from Edinburgh?
+
Around 8 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 Private 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 Private Tour from Edinburgh?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Snacks. Not included: Lunch; Guide's Gratuity (optional); and Castle and admissions (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Outlander Private Tour from Edinburgh include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 203 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Outlander Private Tour from Edinburgh offered in?
+
It is offered in Punjabi, Hindi, Portuguese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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 Private Tour from Edinburgh?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Outlander Private Tour from Edinburgh wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
