Inside the Highlander Tours: How Fans Are Following the Sword Across Legendary Filming Locations — Next Stop: Vancouver

For decades, Highlander has captivated fans with its blend of sword fights, rich mythology, and immortal warriors. But for many, watching from the couch just isn’t enough.

The Highlander Tour, powered by The Sword Experience, is an immersive event series that brings you face to face with the world of Highlander. It goes far beyond a fan convention or location tour. These are real, on-location experiences where you can step into the scenes and stories that made the franchise iconic.

After appearances in cities across North America and Europe in 2025, the next stop is one of the most visually iconic and emotionally charged Highlander locations ever filmed: Vancouver.

What Is the Highlander Tour?

The Highlander Tour is a one-of-a-kind event designed for fans who want to do more than just revisit filming locations. It gives you the opportunity to train with Adrian Paul, learn sword choreography, sometimes inspired by the show, and experience the stories of Highlander in the same places they were originally filmed.

From immersive storytelling to hands-on fight sequences, the Highlander Tour is part travel experience, part training session, and part behind-the-scenes walkthrough of one of the most beloved fantasy series of the 90s.

The past Season 1 & 2 Highland Tours have spanned a number of historic and cinematic cities. Each location has offered its own unique scenes and legacy from the Highlander universe. “Spectacular”, “Breathtaking”, “Amazing” are just some of the comments that people have made. Why?  Because you don’t just get to explore these settings, but you also get train in them, connect with the story, and walk away with a deeper appreciation of the characters and action that made you love Highlander in the first place
