I cannot imagine doing an Outlander tour any other way. Not only is she also a super fan and knowledgeable about all things Outlander (books/show/filming), but she's also very smart and knows so much about Scotland's history! She was a joy to spend the day with, and always kept us laughing. I will absolutely be back with my mom and sister and we will be booking another tour! P.s. my boyfriend is not a super Outlander fan, but he still thoroughly enjoyed himself visiting the castles and learning about Scotland. He gives it his seal of approval.

We got into town and the first thing we did was go on this tour with Steve from Edinburgh Tour…read moreGuides. We attended this private tour with three other lovely people from Detroit. The five of us and Steve spend a wonderful day together at three different sites where different parts of Outlander has been filmed. Steve made sure to have actual scenes lined up on his iPad to show us the scenes as we walked around the different sites. On the drives between sites Steve was really great about historical points of interest or other aspects of Scottish culture and history. We highly recommend Edinburgh Tour Guides and we loved this tour - if you're even an casual Outlander fan you'll really enjoy this tour!

To top it all off, we had a magnificent super moon on display during our trip. We will definitely be back. Thanks very much, Agueda & Espen

Outstanding tour! I joined the Old and New Town tour yesterday, and it was a great way to spend…read morepart of my first day in Edinburgh. We visited five restaurants, three of which I would not have found/visited on my own. The food at each was well chosen, and there wasn't a single place I wouldn't return to for seconds. :) Our guide (I believe his name was Ian), was well informed and made sure to include lots of information that wasn't food-oriented. He took us around the Greyfriar's cemetary, up the beautiful Victoria St, and down through a close near the Writer's Museum. When the tour was over, he also helped guide me back to where I needed to be, which I really appreciated as I wasn't too familiar with the city yet. The other three people on the tour were actually Edinburgh residents, and remarked repeatedly how much they'd enjoyed the day, and that Eat Walk Edinburgh had shown them places they didn't know about despite living here for decades. That sure does speak well for the tour!

We came from USA and did 5 day tour of the Highlands with Discreet scotland tours and are providing…read morean objective and transparent review. Scotland is beautiful, but we would recommend you think twice before booking with this company as you may be drawn with the awards they list. We have gone on privately curated custom tours to 8 different countries, and so have something to compare our experience to other tours. The positives of this company are- the driver was on time, most of the tour places were covered, and the car was new. The following are the negatives of Discreet Scotland. -The driver was smoking during the entirety of the tour- while Smoking technically happened outside the car, he was sitting on the seat with the door opened, and as soon as the car started , the air in the car would be full of smoke and it almost made us suffocated during the entire tour. This happened during every stop, every day- imagine having to put up with this for whole 5 days. When you realize this after half day, you also can't change the driver or the tour so we were stuck. If you book with them, please have in writing that you would be provided a non-smoking driver (if you do not smoke)- as on their website, they do not guarantee a specific driver. - When we book a private tour, we expect the tour company/Matthew and his driver to be doing research on the locations, and the timings, it does not fall on the customer, otherwise you'll miss the locations of the tour mentioned and agreed upon in their itinerary. The driver was more a 'driver' and not really a 'guide'. You should have an itinerary and map in your hand- the driver will likely omit some parts depending on his mood. During our tour, the driver had no clue when the train passes over Glenfinnan, so we missed that.  For the Balmoral castle, it was apparent Matthew and his driver had made no effort to find out whether it was open, the timings, or even the directions, For the Loch Ness Cruise, Matthew and his driver did not bother to know the timings of when the cruise departs, leading us to miss the cruise at first, and only when we firmly told the driver did he bother to take us there. So, the company and the drivers do not  bother to know the fine details of the tour. Driver needs to have professionalism and etiquette, and we felt these people were 'too casual' . Also, their guide/driver do not have the Guide Certification, so keep that in mind, as the driver would just mumble things about places we visited, which were not directly related. When we booked,  we had specially wanted to visit balmoral castle, this was confirmed with Matthew, and despite that, the driver kept insisting that there is not much to see there - the tour company needs to respect each customers preference and not be 'too pushy'- it made us feel uncomfortable and we had to remain politely firm on where we wanted to visit. In the balmoral castle, it was apparent that the tour company had not done their research, and I had to practically guide the driver on the parking space and when that was not found, he became little agitated and moody on us. There was overall very poor communication from Matthew and this company. For example, Matthew did not share the contact information of the driver/guide, and neither did the driver himself. On the first stop at Stirling castle, the driver didn't inform us where he had parked- when we came out, the car was nowhere to be found. We searched for a while and my mom and I were very disturbed Trying to figure out in a foreign country. I had taken a photo of the license plate which I showed to their castle security who helped us find them. I called Matthew and texted him, but till today , he didn't bother to respond to my messages asking to share the contact. Another example is that there was an option of buying a Scotland Explorer Pass to cover entry fees, Matthew and Margaret did not bother to inform us of this, even when we had asked in an email to them, and we had to do the research ourselves. It almost seemed that Matthew does not like to cater to customers who are non-white. We paid full money just like any other customer. The driver was good at heart, but it appears the tour company needs to train themselves and their drivers on communication and professional aspects. We did not feel the drivers were well trained and they were certainly not 'guides'. We are not trying to have the driver lose the job during this economic crisis - he needs training - but we do have to provide an objective review .  We were in a foreign country and did not want to argue with Matthew and his company, and we departed with a smiling face, and gave a generous tip to the driver. We would not choose them if we had the option again.

I was taking a diabetic medicine that was causing some bathroom issues and she did an emergency stop for me and I am so grateful. I highly recommend tours to see Uk as driving on the other side of the road and a million turn about circles is terrifying so let the professionals take that stress from you. Plus they know where the cool stuff is and when to go. Our other tours in other countries the driver and guide were separate, so she gets bonus points for doing it all and to perfection. the roads are so narrow and scary but she did great. this was first time using this company but left willing to take other tours with Rabbies. She didn't say anything about tips which most do .. but bring tip money and reward exceptional service. We went on the trip with another couple and made some lovely memories. Loved going with friends even made it more special but in other trips we ended up making friends for life so either way is great. We did a stop near an ancient Village I think Vikings anyway there were some shops there where my friend bought a purse and I kicked myself for not going in there and getting one too. I thought the purse prices would be better in Edinburgh they were made with the local Fabric and real leather. When we got to Edinburgh the purses were not as well made and they were more expensive and a lot of them weren't even with real leather or made locally. The Edinburgh purse is a lot of them they use the fabric woven there but they made them out of the country probably China or India. Anyway I that is my biggest regret of the trip that I didn't buy an Islander purse. Now I'm going to have to see if I can buy one online and it'll be a lot more money. So if you go to the Isle of sky and you want a bag or a purse you might want to keep that in mind. My friend bought one that was more large than what I would have wanted but it was around a hundred and some dollars great price for the quality. It's well known that the UK is not known for its great weather. Lots of rain and can be very windy around the cliffs and water. I bought vessie shoes which are waterproof and comfortable but kind of expensive. I also took a raincoat with a hood and a hat with a brim and a chin strap because the wind around the cliffs is real. This hat is especially nice because it has a mesh netting that you can unclip in case you're getting in a buggy area which around the ferry pools we needed. If you don't need the netting you can just clip it back up and so it's really handy. The UK and pretty much most of Europe we find that they like twin beds in the hotels and especially the b&bs. I guess people don't like each other lol and want to sleep together. So we would call ahead and ask that they push the beds together before we get there if that was the case. They also don't seem to have air conditioning screens on the windows or sheets on the beds?? Sometimes places will have fans so it's worth asking or calling ahead to see if you can reserve a fan because they definitely don't have enough fans for every room. If you stay in a US-based hotel like a Hilton or Marriott Holiday Inn you don't have to deal with this as much but I guess it's just common in Europe. Traveling through the summer or heat wave months this can be a bit of a problem. The bed seemed all have these duvets which is great if it's cold out but when it's too warm it's a bit uncomfortable. Since we were roasting we had to open the window didn't love that there was no screen and a lot of the windows are made to where you can only open them about an inch so it doesn't provide much air. This was the case through all of the UK not just the Isle of Skye.
