Is this tour suitable for non-Outlander fans?

Yes. While designed for Outlander enthusiasts, the tour visits genuine Scottish castles, villages, and landscapes with significant historical value. You'll learn about Scottish heritage and film production regardless of familiarity with the series.

How much walking is involved?

You'll walk at several stops to explore castles, grounds, and village centres, but it's not a hiking tour. The pace is leisurely; however, wear comfortable shoes as you'll be on your feet during location visits.

Is lunch included in the 9 hours?

Confirm with the supplier at booking. Many private tours include a lunch break at a local café or pub, but some expect you to arrange your own meal. Clarify before departure.

What is the maximum group size?

This is a private tour, so it's typically for small groups or families (usually 2–6 people in a minibus). Confirm exact capacity and pricing for your party size.

Does the tour include entry fees to castles?

Confirm at booking whether castle admission fees are included in the EUR 869 price or if they are separate. Some locations may be photographed from outside rather than entered.

Can the itinerary be customized?

As a private tour, some flexibility may be available. Discuss specific interests (particular castles, scenes, or historical sites) with the supplier when booking to see if adjustments can be made.

our guide Leila had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. First thing in the morning, and came away with 200+ photos. Would book again no question.

our guide Andrei was nice enough, but a stop the guide added on the fly felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, 6 stops in about 3 hours.
