Worth it!! - Fantastic day! I loved the whole itinerary and the pace was just right. Our tour guide, Nicky, drove very safely in the rain and provided amazing stories during the trip. She toured us around to show some of the filming locations which I wouldn't have recognized if she hadn't pointed it out. She also takes great photos! 10/10 would recommend!

Nicky is the best Tour Guide! - I had the most incredible time. It was an amazing tour, I learned so much and everything was very smooth and good. Nicky did an absolute fantastic job. Her knowledge of the sights and history is incredible and her priority of safety for the passengers during rainy weather conditions is amazing. She is so kind, warm and welcoming and truly made me enjoy the tour so much more having Nicky as the tour guide. Thank you Nicky and Highlander Explorer Team!

Great Outlander Experience - What a fantastic experience! Liz captivated us from start to finish with her genuine passion for Outlander and Scottish history. She brought every location to life. No question was too much for her, and she knew exactly what we needed: from compelling stories to photo opportunities at just the right time.
Thanks to Liz, this tour became so much more than a trip – it became a magical experience we will never forget. Absolutely recommended!

Braw (aka Fantastic) - The tour was fantastic and our guide, Heather, was phenomenal! She really made the day special with her music selection, sense of humour and history of Scotland, and of course, Outlander! She kept us entertained as we drove to each destination on the tour and her recommendations at each spot were spot on. We will be recommending Highland Explorer Tours Glasgow to friends and family. Ask for Heather :)

Dinna Fash - I love that between each destination, there’s endless gorgeous views. If you’re a fan of Outlander, this is a fun one and Heather is a great guide. There’s lots of opportunity to ask your burning questions if she somehow didn’t already cover it!
