7.Rebel!Rebel! Jacobite Tour – Outlander’s Scotland

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 48 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $24Best value

Start at St Giles’ Cathedral for a roughly two-hour walk through Edinburgh’s Old Town with a costumed guide. Charlotte leads many tours, with Scarlet also named as a guide. Expect stories at the Royal Mile, Parliament Square, Victoria Street, and Greyfriars kirkyard, plus bagpipe music and local recommendations. Groups are capped at 30, and the walk returns to its starting point.

“The guided tour with Scarlet was an enriching experience overall. Technically, she has impressive knowledge. However, the story occupied a rather dominant place at the beginning – we spent the first half hour giving a detailed talk in a single place. That was informative, but we would have liked a little more exercise. Later on, she told exciting, sometimes somewhat debauched, but very pictorial and vivid stories. You could tell she was passionate about this. The route took us to interesting and partly hidden places that we probably would not have discovered on our own.Auto-translated”
