Exceptional experience
Certainly a highlight of a bucket list trip. Stuart, our guide, was incredible- kind, patient with our children, and as excited us we were to explore. Unforgettable all around
via Tripadvisor
Love this tour.
Stewart was amazing. He picked us up from Cruise terminal and drove us to 4 castles from Outlanders. He not only drove us but he was a tour guide through each with amazing facts about the castle and the part it played in history and the show. I absolutely recommend this tour.

Great Outlander Tour
Stewart did not disappoint! Although 2 of the outlander locations on our tour were closed for filming Stewart was quick to find other fantastic places to visit. He truly went out of his way to share his knowledge and favorite places. I would highly recommend Stewart and any of his tours. We will be sure to book again when we return.

Outlander Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Glasgow.
How much does Outlander Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $776 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 Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Tour 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 14 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 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 Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Outlander Tour?
+
Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Outlander 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 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 Tour?
+
Included: Hotel drop-off; Private tour; Bottled water; Snacks; and Driver/guide. Not included: Admission fee`s to the locations are additional extras. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Outlander Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 93 listed pickup locations in and around Glasgow. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Outlander Tour 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 Tour?
+
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 Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Outlander Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Glasgow. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Outlander Tour?
+
Across 14 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide, good for families. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
