The best Outlander experience!
Stewart was amazing, he made the whole experience even better that I expected, I brought my young kids with us and he was super sweet and entertaining with them as well. This excursion was on my top list and I left there so happy and grateful.

Incredible Experience!
Stewart was INCREDIBLE! My family and I booked a tour with him in June 2025 and it exceeded our expectations. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to share his enthusiasm for Scottish history. We will be back to Scotland in the future and Stewart will be our first phone call!

Our Outlander Tour
Stewart was amazing. The pick-up was easy, we had no problem hearing him, and he adjusted the sights we saw based on our previous experience. He allowed us to go at our own pace and provided great knowledge and humor.
Response from the operator: So glad you enjoyed our Outlander day. Thanks so much for being such great guests. Hopefully see you if you visit again

"Outlander" & More!
The favorite part of this tour was simply the fact we booked through Stewart at TartanTours. The entire day was perfect! Stewart and his team are ultimate professionals, and the epitome of "Scottish hospitality"! Even on a cool, partly-rainy day in Scotland, were were comfortable the entire day thanks to Stewart. We are devoted "Outlander" fans from the US, but thanks to the TV show we're now very fascinated with Scottish history. Stewart did a fantastic job weaving the facts and fiction into a most memorable day. Even if you're not familiar with the TV show, all of the places we toured have major historical significance. TV producers are obviously going to use the most picturesque and interesting locations for authenticity!
Response from the operator: So gald you enjoyed your day in Scotland discovering Outlander, thanks for the great review. Hopefully next time the weather will be kinder. Till next time.

Outlander Special: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Glasgow.
How much does Outlander Special cost?
+
Prices start at $647 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Glasgow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Outlander Special take?
+
Plan for about 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 Glasgow is not rushed.
Is Outlander Special worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Glasgow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Outlander Special?
+
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 Special suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Outlander Special?
+
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 Glasgow 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 Glasgow and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Outlander Special 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 Glasgow 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 Glasgow?
+
On Outty we rank every Glasgow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Glasgow: Celtic Park Tour & Dine Package, Gander Walking Tours in Glasgow, Glasgow: The Clydeside Distillery 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 Glasgow?
+
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 Glasgow?
+
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 Special?
+
Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Outlander Special include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 135 listed pickup locations in and around Glasgow. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Outlander Special 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 Special?
+
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 Special wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Outlander Special if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Outlander Special?
+
Across 6 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, good for families. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
