Great day with Colin! Lots of history, beautiful scenery, and interesting Outlander references. This excursion was the icing on our trip! Would highly recommend.

This tour was beyond our expectations. Colin was there on time and we started an unforgettable day of all things Outlander! His knowledge of the area, details of history and knowledge of the Outlander story added to our enjoyment. The country pub and restaurant we stopped at for lunch was so charming and so Scottish countryside. We didn't want to leave. Colin was superb and a real gentleman. He also looked great in his kilt! Thank you, Tours by Locals for having such a wonderful guide.

We had a wonderful day seeing several sites related to Outlander. Colin was a pleasure to be with and quite knowledgeable. He was able to adjust the locations to meet our interests. We would recommend him for other tours around Inverness.
