Fort William Tours & Trips

Lizzie was our tour guide for this wonderful tour. She is a great storyteller and very entertaining. I really love the small group tours as they are much more personal and not as hectic and rigid as a large group. My wife and I are older with some health issues and my only issue was that there were a few times when it was hard to keep up with the rest of the group so we probably missed out on some of the stories and history of a few places but all in all we had a great time!

This Outlander tour was wonderful. It was booked with Rabbies which was excellent. The group was a group of 15 people which I liked. The bugs driver/ tour guide Lizzie was fantastic. Super sweet and chock full of stories and knowledge. The itinerary and overall organization was good. I felt we did a lot more Outlander heavy stuff on day 1 and day 4 which I loved. In the town of Falkland, we had dinner and further spend much time exploring there and got tons do some photos but that felt a bit rushed and this town I looked forward to see while area small, I wanted to soak in a bit more. We entered all castles with no issues as 99% of them came pre booked or were free to enter with exception of midhope castle. The accommodations provided were both excellent in my opinion. I was very happy where I stayed and had a full Scottish breakfast at both places. During the tour there were plenty of times bathroom breaks and a lunch break. The tour bus was easy to find in Edinburgh with the instructions provided and we were dropped off same location with ease. I highly recommend.

My guide was Eddie and I'm just going to say one thing, Eddie needs a promotion and needs to be featured on the booklet. He did an outstanding job over the two days of the tour. He had the right balance of information/education/humour/conversation also he had the right balance between giving you your own space to enjoy the scenery and engage with you in a conversation. I found him very polite and pleasant to be around. Also Eddie put on a selection of Scottish music that went well with the locations we were in. It absolutely set the atmosphere and made the experience slightly enhanced. I think he had an answer to every question which was thrown at him. It was great that he was Scottish... otherwise it would not have been quite the same experience. The tour was great, well organised, efficiently run. The only downside is that I bought my tour from a souvenir shop on royal mile and the service was so atrocious that I have almost walked out without booking anything. Because of that for that I was expecting the tour to be exactly the same. However, was pleased to have been completely wrong. Please note that the shop did you no justice, had no knowledge, could not answer questions and almost cost you a customer.
