Apr 2025 • Couples We spent three amazing days with Anne. The first was a private Ancestry tour of Ayrshire. This was so much fun and allowed us to learn about our heritage and actually see where the family came from. We spent the next two days with a tour of Stirling Castle, seeing the …

May 2025 • Couples We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Emma from Mary’s Meanders, and we truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we met her, Emma’s warmth and hospitality made us feel completely at ease. She guided us on a beautiful hike to my husband’s ancestral home—an …

Aug 2025 • Solo Group did 1st tour with Emma and Anne 3 years ago. All were so impressed, we came back and toured the highlands and Isle of Skye for 4 days. On the way back, we picked up Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. Break on our own in Edinburgh over the weekend and …

Sept 2025 • Solo I could not have enjoyed my Quintessential Outlander Tour more than I did in September 2025. Once the tour started Emma and Anne has everything planned out perfectly. The itinerary was robust but not overwhelming. The group was the perfect size and I made several friendships that have continued since the …

Excellent tour! Sept 2025 • Solo I wanted to visit Outlander filming sites but I got so much money re with Anne and Emma! From the moment the tour started, they were more like friends. They had a wealth of knowledge of Scotland and Outlander. The accommodations were very welcoming and everything that was promised. …

In September, 2023, I had my second opportunity to see lovely sites and enjoy learning more about many aspects of beautiful Scotland. A friend and I saw the Five Day Immersion tour of Outlander filming sites and signed up. A tour with Mary’s Meanders allows you to just sit back and enjoy the scenery without …

My best friend and I did the 5 Day Outlander Tour. It was everything that we had hoped for. First of all, Scotland put on the best weather! Emma and Anne were fantastic guides and tour managers. We visited 20 Outlander filming spots and I think, the best part, was the individuals we met who …

The tour guided by Mary’s Meanders met and exceeded all of my expectations. Everyday was packed with visits to Outlander filming locations and more. We learned so much from our knowledgeable guides and the many experts who shared their knowledge and appreciation for Outlander and Scottish history. Our accommodations were comfortable, clean and spacious. We …

Touring with guides Emma and Anne and our drivers, Paul & Bill was wonderful! Eight of us rode comfortably in our bus and experienced fabulous countryside views while learning history and culture of beautiful Scotland. Our days were well planned with plenty of time to explore, ask questions, and imagine how Outlander evolved over the …

This crew absolutely loved everything about outlander and enlightened us on all the really cool filming locations. Dave was highly entertaining and engaged with our group. There was never a dull moment. We were so glad to finally to see everything Scotland had to offer after Covid. I would highly recommend this great team to …

I traveled with a group of 12 people and we spent 8 days with Anne, Dave, and Emma traveling between Glasgow, Fort William, Inverness, Pitlochry, and Edinburgh. Our trip was Outlander themed but had lots of elements of Scottish history and culture, as well. I can’t imagine how things could have gone any better. We …

Both Don & myself agreed that our tour guide Emma was an absolute 5 ⭐️ ambassador for all things Scotland & highly recommend Mary’s Meanders Scottish Tour. We booked the classic Outlander tour & it was a highlight of our time there, experiencing amazing locations with an in-depth knowledge of history, tale’s and sculptors. Need …

I connected with Anne through a beta test she was doing on Amazon travel and leisure. After a 45 minutes zoom meeting where she had already found information on the McDonalds in Scotland, I knew we needed to book her for some of my ancestral trip to Scotland. I was traveling with a dear friend …

If you are first time travelers to Scotland and would like to tour this magical place, be sure to book a tour with Emma and Anne at Mary’s Meanders. We chose a 5 day Outlander tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. These are small groups of no more than 10 people which gives you an opportunity …

Best tour EVER! I can’t say enough about Mary’s Meanders! This is the second time I was lucky enough to be with them and well exceeded my expectations. Emma and Anne know Scotland’s wonderful history better than anyone and took us to places nobody else has been with them. Hunterston House was the chance of …

As a 60 something solo traveler, friends and family had some fears for my safety – I simply couldn’t have been in any more capable hands than those of tour guides Anne and Emma (Mary’s Meanders) and their drivers – Bill and Paul (Tayforth Travels). Our EVERY need was anticipated and attended to, our days …

We scheduled a tour with Mary’s Meanders Tours and Anne was our guide for the day. Anne was so kind and accommodating, and by the end of the day we felt like we had known her for years! She is very knowledgeable and made sure we saw as much as we possibly could during the …

Was hoping to go to Scotland in the fall but with the pandemic, travel is on halt. However, Mary’s Meanders came up with the wonderful idea of doing virtual tours. I was on their first one and it was amazing to see all those locations and to get Emma’s commentaries and stories about the sites. …

Took a ‘virtual Outlander tour’ with Anne & Emma this week, re-visiting locations I saw with them last year. Great to get some additional tidbits of information about these locations. I would highly recommend this virtual experience, especially now, during social distancing. Whether you are planning a trip to Scotland in the future or not, …

Due to the current situation our planned tour with Mary’s had to be postponed. Today several friends and myself joined Emma on a virtual Outlander tour. I have to credit the ladies for coming up with this idea and can highly recommend the experience. The tour takes in some well known Outlander locations and Emma …

What a special treat to be able to enjoy this tour! The hostesses are simply amazing and I want to adopt them as my family! The sites are lovely and the knowledge shared is perfect! Thank you for being so awesome! Can’t wait to come back for another visit!! Melissa K, May 2020
