I’ve just returned from the Oct/Nov Outlander VIP tour and the Sam & Shakespeare add on. Without a doubt, Hayley is an extraordinary tour guide, and this experience was one of a kind. This tour featured sumptuous accommodations and fabulous dining, which truly fed the soul. Seeing the historic sites used in Outlander was a great excuse for spending eleven days living so very well. The bonus of meeting Helen Gallogly (the woman who designed many of the period fabrics for Outlander), dinner with David Berry and seeing Sam in a 200 seat theater in Stratford were all peak experiences. With the flexibility of small group, she catered to what we wanted to do, as well, and she strove to ensure we were happy. I learned so much along the way, and can’t wait for my next Hayley adventure.

From start to finish , the VIP outlander experience was absolutely unforgettable. Every detail was carefully thought out, making us feel like true VIP’s. Our tour guide Hayley was so knowledgeable, her passion for both Outlander and Scottish history shone through in every story she told. She added so many thoughtful touches throughout the tour, from extra stops along the way to special drinks just for the special moments we were experiencing and she even helped my husband plan something so special on our wedding anniversary, something I will never forget! The sites themselves were breathtaking as well as the Scottish scenery. Our dinner with Duncan Lacroix (Murtagh) felt magical at The Culloden House it truly was such a memorable night! If your and Outlander fan this experience is a dream come true ! Highly recommend. Such a great way to immerse yourself in Scottish culture, beauty and history!

This was our second tour of Scotland with Hayley, and once again, she did not disappoint! From luxurious five-star hotels and gourmet dining to breathtaking locations and a wonderful travel group, every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. My husband and I are already looking forward to trip #3!

I was a part of the Off The Sassenach Path tour in 2025 and I cannot even begin to explain how much fun and what a wonderful this vacation was! Hayley is amazing and took care of everything- from food and drink to activities to organizing anything extra we needed. It was lovely to go on a vacation where all the meals and drinks were included and I didn’t have to do any driving or planning. There is lots of fun and drinks (cocktails, wine, whisky…) and Hayley was great at making sure there were non-alcoholic options too. Be ready to go into a food coma every night and eat some of the best food you will ever have on these tours! We went to so many amazing museums and castles as well as Outlander filming sites. Favourites of mine were Gosford House, Craigmiller Castle, The Signet Library where we had tea and Midhope Castle! Getting to actually go inside, see some props and hear Gillebrìde MacMillan sing inside Midhope was something I will never forget. I also need to mention the super fun presentation and workshop by Helen Gallogly. And of course getting to have a private dinner with our group and an actor from Outlander where we all got to get dressed up was such an amazing experience. John Bell is the sweetest and I am so glad I got to be a part of such a special evening. And the fact there is a photographer there to take pictures all evening was so cool.

Hayley’s tours are informative but also let you worry about nothing and just relax. She is so kind and knowledgeable and you know you are in good hands. I cannot wait for my next tour with Hayley and for sure will be bringing more people along!!

I had the opportunity to be part of the VIP Outlander tour. Where do I begin telling of my wonderful experiences. I’ll try to be brief. Wonderful, experienced and fun tour bus drivers, Jed, Ian, Craig and Derrick. Truly amazing hotels including Culloden House and Fife Arms. Oh, and the food, wine and whisky included. Sublime. Lovely visitors such as myself, the Scottish people, the sites we visited including Burrell Museum, Outlander sites, Culloden, Midhope Castle, Craigmillar Castle and much, much more. Last but certainly not least Hayley who is a wonderful guide and hostess with the mostest. Oh and I cannot forget Helen print maker extraordinaire and John Bell our special Outlander guest. For a fab time check out Hayley’s tours. Maybe Orkney next for me!
