    DO NOT BOOK. No longer a reputable business. DO NOT BOOK

    I wish I didn't have to post this review, but I must to warn others. This is not a reputable business. PLEASE BEWARE. I contacted Slainte Scotland and Catriona Stevenson through a tour operator in 2019 to provide us with guide services for a two week trip to Scotland. We were told that Catriona had experience with Outlander tours. She seemed legit. The tour was scheduled for 2020 and when Covid hit, things began to change. At first, we were told by Catriona that she would extend a credit for two years and that we could re-book when it was possible to do the trip. We had numerous phone calls with her when she continued to promise us that she would be there for us when we rescheduled. When Scotland finally opened up at the end of 2021, we rescheduled the tour through our tour operator but we could not get a response back from Catriona or Slainte Scotland. Phone calls were not answered or returned. Emails only got an automatic "we're busy but will get back top you within 48 hours" response but with no follow up. Essentially, we were ghosted. We had fully paid her in 2020 and now she won't even return calls to us or to the tour operator who recommended her. No calls, no texts, no emails, and no refund. So disappointing. If she would have told us SOMETHING I might have some sympathy for her. But she didn't show up, didn't even respond to numerous calls and emails, and kept the money. That is Fraud and Theft, plain and simple. At this point, I can only warn all others not to book with this business. Our experience with them is that they promise a lot but end up stealing your money and leaving you stranded. DO NOT BOOK. It could be that they were once legitimate but clearly now they are not. If you read the reviews here you can see the trend that started near the end of 2019 and has been constant ever since.

    What a joy!

    What a joy, Leslie, our tour guide was. She not only knew about Outlander but also a lot of Scottish history (plus she had a great sense of humor). We went to Castle Leoch, Fort William and last, but not least, Lallybroch! I will never forget this day.

    Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Glasgow.

    How much does Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow cost?

    +

    Prices start at $545 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 Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow 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 Glasgow is not rushed.

    Is Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    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 Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow 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 Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    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 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow 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 Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private driver-guide; and Admission Fees. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow include hotel pickup?

    +

    Is Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Glasgow wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
