About the operator
- J4913WPsarahj00Shut this fraudulent company down!!Another family scammed! One month later our credit card company informed us that this fraudulent tour company had provided proof that they picked us up. WTH??? Now we're fighting with the CC company. We have receipts of unanswered phone calls, emails, and new bus and train tickets for that day. I wish authorities in Scotland could/would shut this down. Also, anyone else scammed, go after Square. That is the company they use to facilitate credit card transactions.
- csJ3359DN00Not turn upDo not use. Did not turn up. Still awaiting refund that was due. Arranged booking 6 weeks before, had time to make alternative arrangements, but did not.
- Kerri B00DO NOT USE- FRAUD!!!Total scam. Be careful we found them under a different name, Clyde Coast Tourism. No call no show at pickup. Working with our cc company now for refund.
- C6438GDsusieb00Scammer goes by her name or company bewareAfter not hearing from this tour company, I reached out to other tour companies to see if they heard of my tour guide who also apparently goes by this company, but I only knew her as referred on FB as Catriona Stevenson. I was advised to look at her reviews. Once I seen that so many people got to Scotland to not have her show and she was a scammer I too asked for a refund. I have 6 months till my tour. Her paperwork stated that she would refund less 10% for 45 days or more for cancellations. She has never refunded the money and does not contact me. After many emails I will get an occasional text I am looking into it but nothing. Please do not get scammed too. I am so hurt this was all I had and thought she was upright before I saw her company site, then horrified.
- Jester122700Slainte Tour Company is an absolute scam!Feel like a broken record writing this. Yes, indeed I know we were scammed! DO NOT BOOK! Tour company was a no show in Glasgow. My wife and I, along with 6 other unfortunate individuals were left stranded at our pickup point. All of us attempted several calls and emails to the company with no response of any kind. We disputed charges immediately and never heard from tour company. We missed out on seeing Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond, but on a positive note: my wife and I met 6 wonderful folks that day and we shared a cab into Edinburgh for our Military Tattoo experience.
- Jhensperger100SCAMSCAM: This company does not show up to pick you up for the tour, does not answer phone or email. They take your money and do not reply
- Genevieve W00This company is a scam!They are a scam! We had a day tour booked out of Glasgow and they were a no show. We waited around at the pick up location for an hour and they did not respond to any of our emails or many phone calls. Absolutely no communication from them. We are trying to dispute the charge.
- taylorsternotti00THIS IS A SCAM. DON'T EVEN GO AMY FURTHERTHIS IS A SCAM. DON'T EVEN GO FURTHER. No one showed up, answered emails or answered a phone. We quickly realized after waiting around that we were scammed.
- lisabD1788XL00Scammed. Heartbroken and disappointedDisappointing/Scam Purchased outlander day tour from Edinburgh months in advance. One week prior to tour I made several attempts to reach tour guide with no luck. She ignored all my calls and e-mails. I waited at the meeting point hoping someone would show up. This was a bucket list trip and this tour was most important to me and I was left with no options. Tour was paid in full so now I have to dispute full charge with paypal. Don’t waste your time with this company.
- 59tarab00Horrible!Similar story to the most recent reviews. I booked a 7 day Hebrides Gaelic Explorer tour in January 2020, along with 4 friends, and paid in full. The tour was postponed twice due to COVID, which is completely out of Catriona's control. The tour was supposed to have started on May 3, 2022. We all tried multiple times to contact her to confirm that our accommodations were all set, and got no response. The tour itinerary lists Adhamh O Broin, and Gillebride MacMillan, both connected with Outlander, as special guests who would be accompanying us. When we did not hear back from Catriona, we reached out to Adhamh and Gillebride, and both stated that had not been in touch with her for nearly two years, and had no idea they were listed as being part of the tour. We also contacted the hotels/B&B's listed on the itinerary, and non of them had any bookings for us. She has completely ignored all forms of communication requesting a refund. She has stolen our money, and does not seem to care. DO NOT book any tours with her
- stephanietW3199LD00FRAUDULENT COMPANYAbsolute FRAUD! Booked 4 day Highland tour. Paid in full in January 2022. Catriona never communicated after receiving our money!! I begged and pleaded to please let us know our tour would be cancelled, nothing. We had to check out of hotel, show up on Monday morning all for nothing!!! Huge disappointment
- ColoTraveler2200DO NOT BOOK. No longer a reputable business. DO NOT BOOKI wish I didn't have to post this review, but I must to warn others. This is not a reputable business. PLEASE BEWARE. I contacted Slainte Scotland and Catriona Stevenson through a tour operator in 2019 to provide us with guide services for a two week trip to Scotland. We were told that Catriona had experience with Outlander tours. She seemed legit. The tour was scheduled for 2020 and when Covid hit, things began to change. At first, we were told by Catriona that she would extend a credit for two years and that we could re-book when it was possible to do the trip. We had numerous phone calls with her when she continued to promise us that she would be there for us when we rescheduled. When Scotland finally opened up at the end of 2021, we rescheduled the tour through our tour operator but we could not get a response back from Catriona or Slainte Scotland. Phone calls were not answered or returned. Emails only got an automatic "we're busy but will get back top you within 48 hours" response but with no follow up. Essentially, we were ghosted. We had fully paid her in 2020 and now she won't even return calls to us or to the tour operator who recommended her. No calls, no texts, no emails, and no refund. So disappointing. If she would have told us SOMETHING I might have some sympathy for her. But she didn't show up, didn't even respond to numerous calls and emails, and kept the money. That is Fraud and Theft, plain and simple. At this point, I can only warn all others not to book with this business. Our experience with them is that they promise a lot but end up stealing your money and leaving you stranded. DO NOT BOOK. It could be that they were once legitimate but clearly now they are not. If you read the reviews here you can see the trend that started near the end of 2019 and has been constant ever since.
- Steven D00Slainte Tours - do not useAVOID. The company did not respond to ANY of the phone calls on ANY of the numbers. We wasted a lot of time waiting to be picked up only for them NOT to arrive. We booked a 3 day tour and didn’t do a single visit. They cancelled our first day by email after reminding us the day before and then not turning up on the morning. Didnt turn up on day 2 after suggesting by email they would. We were left to salvage what we could after wasting hours of our holiday waiting to be picked up or trying to get a response. We did get a full refund but no compensation for the stress, upset and time wasted. Disappointed, angry and upset. No way to treat people or run a business.
- CAGrapeGrower00HorribleEven if they answer the phone (which I doubt), don't do any business with this company. I think they are gone. I booked tours in 2022 and paid a deposit. They no longer answer emails. And do not return my deposit. The guide who recommended them says that they do not answer his inquiries, DO NOT BOOK.
- Chantelb101500NO SHOW! HORRIBLE!DO NOT BOOK!! They never showed up for our tour, left us stranded on the side of the road at the pick up spot. Didn't answer call after call or facebook message. 2 days later they responded and we attempted a reschedule, and they didn't show up AGAIN. Still has not refunded our money! Horrible business, I have no idea how they are still even around.

Total scam! Booked a 3 day Outlander tour in June. The morning of day 1, she called and said she needed to cancel that day due to a “family emergency.” On the morning” of day 2, after taking the train 40 minutes outside of Edinburgh to a village trains station, she was a no-show as the designated meeting point. After waiting for over an hour with no cell service at the meeting point, and walking 1 mine into town, we were told she was still having a “family emergency.” When the gentleman at the coffee/teas kiosk at the train station asked who we were (obviously) waiting for and if it was for a tour. He told us that he knows Katrina and her tour company, and this is her typical scam, and of having seen many tour guests stranded at that train station. He pulled up her reviews on Trip Advisor and shows us his phone - all negative, and all the same complaints.

On day one I received an email right at the time this Chickie was supposed to be picking us up. Car trouble. OK, understandable. See you tomorrow.
On day two I received an email saying she would pick us up at 11 am. Great, see you then.
That was 10 days ago.
Not a single word. No email. No call. No text. Nothing.
What kind of person does this?
I traveled over 4000 miles for this tour.
Unacceptable!

My daughter and I did the 3 day Outlander tour. Not only did we see some wonderful sights, our guides were punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and entertaining. They pretty much felt like family we visited in Scotland, who delighted in showing us the sights. I would definitely recommend them and will contact them again if we ever return to Scotland.

We booked the 3 day Outlander tour almost a year ago (July 2021) and the reviews at that time were glowing. Our party of three showed up to the meeting site at the Dalmeny train station as instructed, and met four other ladies who had booked the same tour. No one from the tour company ever showed up, and their phone number was disconnected. We went back and checked the reviews again and starting September 2021 people starting posting reviews that the company was ghosting customers and not showing up. Do not book with these crooks!

The best Tour Operator! We are a group of 10, we paid Catriona Stevenson for the full tour for April 2-6, 2022. We paid her 10,000GBP in total and then she dissappeared. She is just a thief under coverage. She was and still not answering our calls and she never returned our money back. She also blocked us from Facebook. We got about 50% back from PayPal! Stay away. This is a FRAUD! Catriona is a big and nasty THIEF!

If only I had paid closer attention to some of the other negative reviews here before booking! We had a similar experience two weeks ago where our 3 day tour was cancelled, but only after we had been standing out in the rain for an hour.
If a tour must be cancelled, find a way to contact the people who have reserved and PAID for their tour without leaving them waiting (in the rain) for a bus that won't come. Then when a three-day, pre-PAID tour is completely cancelled, the least you can do is issue an immediate refund. I want so much to like this company, but unfortunately there are some very basic communication failures, not to mention a so-far, two-week wait for a nearly $400 refund. We ended up on a Rabbie's Outlander tour instead and it was fantastic!

Good Afternoon Theresa,
We are so sorry that your experience in Scotland was tarnished by us.
Unfortunately 2019 was an eye opener in terms of trust and a number of our suppliers, namely buses, were sub-standard and the service became unreliable, one day leaving us and our guides stranded at Stirling Castle.
We are absolutely devastated that this affected our standard and the amount of refunds requested was almost impossible to manage as per our usual terms.
We thank you for your patience and as, a result of this last year, we have reigned back our services and offerings back to . what we do best, small, niche, quality tours with experts on Scotland, Whisky, Outlander and the history.
We hope to make it up to you in the future.
Yours Aye

DO NOT BOOK! DO NOT BOOK!! DO NOT BOOK!!!
I concur with all of the previous reviews.
We too were left stranded at the Dalmeny station, had to walk a mile into town to try and find cell service to reach Catriona Stevenson. When we finally reached her, she was in the middle of a 'family emergency' which, we have found out from a local, is her usual MO for not showing up. We ended up scrambling to find another tour, and spending an outrageous amount of money in order to try and salvage the whole purpose of our trip. Spare yourself the heartache, and avoid at all costs.

They cancelled at the last minute, still no refund and it’s 8 weeks since my tour was supposed to take place. They don’t respond to emails or phone calls. Have reported them to Scottish Tourism Authorities. Managed to take a one day Outlander Tour with Rabbies and it was terrific.

As with several other people who booked a tour with this company, we were left standing in front of the pick up area on a cold Glasgow morning while other tour companies came and went. They confirmed the trip the day before ONLY TO CANCEL WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR THE BUS!!! They then booked us with another company for the following two days on tours we did not want. Unbelievable. We have called, emailed, and texted Slainte Scotland, but have not received any responses. As with the others, we have received NO REFUND for the cancelled tour. It is time for a written complaint to the Scottish and Glasgow authorities who oversee tourism welfare.

Barry and Chris are the best. Both are very knowledgeable and the local history, lore, and Outlander locations. I really liked being a part of a small group, we could get our questions answered. They were both AWESOME.
