    Wonderful fun exciting Outlander Tour

    We had an incredible memorable time in Scotland thanks to Sam and Steve. My husband and I were looking forward to our private 7 day Outlander tour for months.It exceeded our expectations. Sam is the queen of Outlander information and Steve is the master driver and parking expert! His knowledge of all things Scotland was an extra added bonus. By the end of day one they felt like family . Each day was special and we miss them and Scotland already. They are reliable and well known and respected throughout Scotland . Highly recommend.

    Lots to see…

    Loved it!! Highly recommend. The only thing missing was the opportunity to get to touch a stone. Plan for a long day, but well worth it.

    Response from the operator: I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. Hopefully you will get to touch the stones next time.

    Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,022 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 Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh is not rushed.

    Is Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Private Outlander 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 Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh 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 Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh?

    +

    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 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Outlander 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 Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh?

    +

    Included: Private Tour; and Hotel pick-up and drop off. Not included: Lunch; Admissions; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 29 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh 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 Private Outlander 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 Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Outlander Tour from Edinburgh if the weather is bad?

    +
