Go beyond the guidebooks when you join one of our small group, guided tours of the UK & Europe. Guaranteed departure & experiences. Book online now.
Rabbie’s small group tours are driven by curiosity and guided by storytellers. We find the stories that go deeper and live longer in travellers' minds. On our journeys, everyone’s hungry for the little-known or just-happened, and we can go after them: no track too small, too trodden or obscure. No need for scripts, because our guides know places like the back of their hand.
Big stories start small, and small stories are everywhere. That’s why we chase ‘what ifs’ and ‘why’s on every path, highway and the odd wrong way. Collecting stories you carry home and carry on as your own.
They say that Europe's all gelato-coloured towns, fabled castles and Mediterranean sunsets. But beyond the crowds there's another side to the story...
On small group tours, we all want to understand more. See from other points of view. Not satisfied by ‘top sites’ and ticklist routes, we find the stories that go deeper and live longer in your mind.
Our guides live and breathe places so you can too. They share did-you-knows and real-life memories that make the best stories. And leave time for you to stumble across your own.
From booking to disembarking, our team’s there for every ‘how?’ and ‘what’s next?’. Guaranteed departures. Guaranteed experience, or your money back.
Together, we move travel forward. We offset carbon, preserve footpaths and guide you to pitstops owned by locals. Connecting people and protecting places we love.

Rabbie's Tours Head Office: Reviews
Fantastic experience: JP was great!! This tour was a great way to see some of the Highlands and taste some great Whiskey. JP offered some very interesting facts about the lands and Scottish history which was appreciated. We truly loved all of the recommendations provided at each of our stops to help guide us around the towns. Also thank you for playing some popular Scottish music along the way!
Fantastic experience: Rabbie's was absolutely fantastic, and in particular Neil, our tour guide and driver, was wonderful. I'd see if you could get on his route if you get a chance. I'm generally hard to win over with tours, not because they're bad, but because I'm usually inclined to just go explore on my own, but Rabbie's was a very different experience. It really combined the information, structure, and convenience of a tour with a lot of freedom at each stop. Better yet, the small groups that Rabbie's travels with makes it possible to make friends and really socialize, which is great if you're a solo traveler like myself. I had a great time with Neil and the (former) strangers on our trip. I took two trips with Rabbie's, and they were both very good, but of the trips I took I'd strongly recommend the route that goes by Stonehenge and Bath (among other places, like Dartmoor and the Jurassic Coast). It's great to get out of London and see some (pre)history and the natural beauty of Britain, as well as one of my favorite cities in England, Bath.
Fantastic experience: I recently went on a day-tour to St. Andrews and it was one of the best parts of my trip to Scotland. Ewan was our driver/guide, and his commentary was wide-ranging and very informative.
Fantastic experience: I booked the 3 day Isle of Skye tour and I am so happy I did. Our guide Swain gave us an unforgettable tour of the Isle of Skye and the Highlands. Swain impressed us with his passion, love for his country, humor and historical knowledge. I would book a tour with Rabbies again and again. Thanks for the great time!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Chaz for an amazing day and great highland views.
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful one day Outlander tour. Everything went smoothly and our driver was great. Absolutely would recommend
Fantastic experience: We had the best day doing the Loch Ness Tour with King Duncan of Fife! He was such a natural and witty story teller, and was beyond knowledgeable about Scottish history. Our group felt safe in and outside of the tour bus, loved the boat ride with the Loch Ness boat company, and enjoyed stories, music, and the incredible views of the Scottish Highlands. If you’re looking for a specific driver to book a tour with, ask for Duncan (Big Dunc)! Can’t wait for the next time we return to Scotland and do another tour with Duncan.
Negative experience: We did the Outlander day tour. As a diehard fan, I was very much looking forward to this tour! Seeing all the different filming locations at various castles was definitely a highlight! However.. I don't think it should be called an "Outlander" tour. The guide didn't seem to know much about the series, and when he did talk about it he was misquoting things and mixing up events in the show - even getting some parts just plain wrong. I thought there would have been much more immersion into details behind the filming at each location and whatnot. It was mainly just the tour guide talking about other history of the places we went he found interesting. Starting off the tour he joked he wasn't that into Outlander and had to do research on it. Then rambled on about Braveheart and Mel Gibson. Then messed up more details about the Outlander story and bashed the author for not getting everything historically accurate. I was disappointed - but I am an Outlander super fan... maybe my expectations should have been lower. As well, the music and audio on the tour bus was way too loud and the other patrons on the tour with us were rude, moving our belongings from our seats on the bus. We've been on many tours before and thought it was common courtesy to sit in your same spot. Another patron took a video call at one point during the tour when the guide was talking. Of course those are not the guides fault.. but still dampened our experience.
Fantastic experience: Swain was our driver and guide for a 3 day Isle of Skye tour - the scenery is beautiful and our guide was a great mix of informative, funny (dad jokes only), and friendly. The bus was clean and we made plenty of bathroom stops along the way. Highly recommend!
Positive experience: The tour itself was very long, and the pace was a little odd with some stops having too much time and others being rushed at.
Fantastic experience: Just got back from the 5 day Highlands Tour. Robbie and Kevin were our guides and did an excellent job. Lots and lots of great photo stops , relevant stories and facts on history of the places we visited or passed through . Rest stops were on point with good recommendations for food and points of interest. No hesitation is recommending this tour , or Rabbies 10/10 .
Fantastic experience: We did the Highland 5 day Scotland tour, could not be happier about the decision to use Rabbies Tours. Our guide Catty was the best, knowledgeable, great stories, gave us a history of Scotland all while seeing unbelievable scenery! Highly recommend Rabbies!
Fantastic experience: We took the 4-day tour to the West Highlands and Isle of Skye earlier this week. Our tour guide, Bobby, was knowledgeable and helpful. Riding in the bus with him giving us the story of what we were seeing was a highlight. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the West Highlands and Isle of Skye. If they get Bobby as their guide, they will be in excellent hands. Also, we opted to have Rabbie's book our accommodations, and they were comfortable and clean. Don't let Google and TripAdvisor reviews of the properties scare you. Some of the accommodations might be a little dated, but the staff was always courteous and we didn't run into any issues.
Positive experience: We went on the Lochness, Glencoe 1 day tour. I’ve taken quite a few tours around the UK and this one was just ok. I’d probably give it 3.5 stars. It was a little rainy which isn’t their fault. But the guide was a little dull. I kept falling asleep. He also seemed to be against crowds. So sometimes we would see views where other Rabbies guides had stopped with their groups and ours didn’t want to because it was too crowded or he was concerned about making good time. We did a lot of bathroom stops though which I have never experienced on a tour. And he’d sometimes give us 30 minutes to an hour at these stops and I would have preferred to see more of Ireland than the views around bathroom stops. It was raining so maybe it was just easier to stop at places that had better parking.
Fantastic experience: We went on the Alnwick castle tour with young sean yesterday and had the absolute best time. Sean was knowledgeable about the area and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed his job. He shared a plethora of knowledge about both the area and about scottish history. This was our second tour with rabbies (first was an outlander tour 2 years prior) and it will definitely not be our last. A huge thank you for making our anniversary trip memorable
Fantastic experience: Had the Loch ness Glencoe and Highlands day tour, highly recommended to see the highlands! Love our guide Declan he was fun, kind and knowledgeable, we enjoyed the playlist too, so relaxing upon leaving edinburgh, really enjoyed this trip! looking forward to return and book the 3 day tour. Arrive early as the tours leave on time. More power!!!
Fantastic experience: Not usually a fan of organised tours, but this experience changed my mind set. I cannot recommend Rabbies highly enough. From start to finish it was a great experience. The welcome at the coach station was warm, friendly and organised and from a very good start the day just got better and better. The 16 seat Mercedes coach was extremely clean and comfortable. The one day tour West Highlands, Lochs & Castle is great, a well planned route, but the highlight and what made this tour even more special was our Tour Guide, Craig Young. He was friendly, informative and very funny. He went over and above to make sure every passenger got the most from the day. Not only did provide us with numerous interesting facts and stories, he also asked if any passenger had Scottish ancestry, Craig then placed those names on a big map of Scotland at the front of the coach, showing which area our ancestors originated from. A very nice touch I thought. Has Rabbies Tours changed my mind about organised tours? Yes, absolutely. Would I use Rabbies again? Yes, absolutely. Five stars all round from me A special thanks to Craig, you made this great experience a very special, memorable one.
Fantastic experience: We departed Edinburgh for a 1 day highlands trip. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and had a themed playlist for us throughout the day. We made the expected stops with a few bonuses, had plenty of time at each spot, and never felt rushed. As they offer tours with transport being via vehicle, you will obviously spend time in a vehicle so do not be surprised that some destinations take time to get to! Not an issue for our group and Rabbie’s makes it abundantly clear how you will be traveling. Will definitely use this group again!
Fantastic experience: We took a Rabbies tour to Isle of Sky from 14-16 Sep 2024. Our guide is Ian Stephens. Ex policemen and "Hollywood" actor . He was just great. We had people from 4 different countries and he took good care of us. Taking us to strategic points for great pics. Entertaining stories and light hearted jokes made our day. This was my special trip with my daughter before she starts her Uni in Cardiff. So it was made memorable. Thank you Ian. Luv from Tony & Abby. P/S hope you read this. Abby loves her Hairy Coo ❤️
Fantastic experience: We took two different tours from Manchester, UK. The first was driven by Clive, and we went to Wales. The second tour was given by Chris who drove us to Chatsworth House. Of course, we stopped along the way both times. Each driver was absolutely incredible. Chris made the tour so, so fun and informative. Clive was also amazing. The bus/van was super comfy and we had great views. We're headed back to London next Autumn and plan to partake in a couple of Rabbies tours from there.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the BEST tour outfit in Scotland. Our guide, Gregor was a blast! He was super knowledgeable and energetic. Can't go wrong with Rabbie's! On a side note, while I was in the Orkney Islands, an older couple got their camper van stuck in the mud while visiting the Ring of Brodgar. As I walked over to assist them a Rabbie's driver who happened to be there too did not hesitate to join in and get that couple out of the mud. I didn't manage to get his name but this is a further demonstration of the stellar caliber of tour guides that Rabbie's has.
Fantastic experience: Just completed 5 day Mull, Iona and Skye tour with guide Ross. Outstanding tour, excellent narration, great music and wonderful accommodations. Special kudos to Ross who adjusted the route so we were always in the "good weather" for visiting the area.
Fantastic experience: We had Ryhs for the Outlander tour. What a great day. Informative bloke with a great personality. He really made the tour. Went out of his way to find some highland cows as an extra. This is a good day out even if you are not an outlander fan. The castles and village were so good.
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful day with Keith. He was pleasant and knowledgeable about our trip to St. Andrew’s and the fishing villages of Fife. All in all a pleasant day. Thank you Keith and Rabbies. We had a tour of Rosslyn and Melrose with Sean. His knowledge of the history of the area was wonderful. It was a great experience with Sean and fully enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Wow, Incredible! these are few words of many I have to describe Scotland, Edinburgh and the Highlands. My words or pics could never really do justice to the hauntingly beauty and pristine environment of the Highlands, especially the Isle of Skye. Edinburgh is a city I must go back to. This city is modern yet a step back in Medieval times, a delightful adventure. High praises for Rabbie Tour’s (booked through Celtic tours) tour/driver Bruce M., he made the Highland Tour delightful with his wit and familiarity. He was extremely knowledgeable of the small villages & towns for the best fare & “one of a kind” finds, history, terrestrial ecosystem, accommodating personality made this tour a memorable vacation. Thank you, Bruce M., Celtic & Rabbie’s Tours.
Fantastic experience: We toured the Isle of Skye on 8 Sep with Rabbie's tour guide Claire. Despite occasional fog, my family 100% enjoyed this tour with it's many stops and time for enjoying the views, landscape, and animals. We came away with a full appreciation of the culture, folklore, industry, agriculture, and history of Scotland. Claire was exceptional with her stories and insights.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing 1 day tour of the Highlands with the guide Keith. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and a great storyteller. What more could I ask for? Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: We recently took a 3 day Isle of Skye tour with Rabbie’s from Edinburgh and had a great time. Our guide was Swain and he kept the tour very informative but also light and entertaining which made for a fun 3 days. It was clear he knew Skye very well and was able to make some good judgement calls when it came to the weather at the time to decide where we should go (or not go) to get the most out of our time on the island. The bus was clean and comfortable, scenery was beautiful, group was great and guide did a wonderful job - I’d happily recommend this tour with Rabbie’s!
Fantastic experience: Willie gave us the MOST incredible tour of Orkney and Scotland’s Northern Coast!!! He truly took such good care of us!! He was so smart and full of knowledge and passion for Scotland and its rich history! I felt like we were in the best hands as we went to all our locations. He really made the tour exceptional and we love him!!!!
Fantastic experience: Just finished the 5-Day Orkney & Scotlands Northern Coast with the BEST GUIDE EVER - Willie! The tour itself was fabulous- but Willie went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having the best time. He knew so much and clearly was passionate about the history that we got to experience. 10/10 recommend the tour and Willie.
Fantastic experience: We just went on the Glencoe, Highlands and Loch Ness tour and loved it. Simon was a great guide, both friendly and knowledgeable. Tomorrow we are looking forward to the Hadrian's Wall tour. We have had a great experience with Rabbie Tours.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience on our 5 day tour of Orkney and the Highlands. Queen Kelly of Scotland provided impeccable service throughout. We were told incredible stories, cheesy jokes, and great facts. The tour itself was really well run, accommodation was all fabulous, and the places visited were stunning and interesting in equal measure. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about this beautiful country. Kelly did everything she could to provide a fabulous experience to everyone on our bus. Thanks Rabbies!
Fantastic experience: I took the Outlander tour starting from Glasgow and was not disappointed. The young girl (Cathelin) who drove us was a very good guide. I booked a day in advance but in September.
Fantastic experience: We went on a tour of Loch Lomond, The Kelpies and Stirling Castle with Kenny. Kenny is very well versed in Scotish history, has a beautiful singing voice and a wonderful sense of humor. The tour was terrific. Everyone in our party really enjoyed it. We all highly recommend this tour and Kenny as your tour guide.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the one day St. Andrew's tour. Ainstruther, St. Andrew's and Falkland all uniquely quaint. Our driver, Ewan, was a wonderful guide. He pointed out places of interest as well as good places to eat.
Fantastic experience: WOW!!!! Are outlander tour was AWESOME!!!!!! !!!! Very relaxed and comfortable tour. Loved the small group experience. Our tour guide Young Stephen was wonderful. He was knowledgeable of Outlander and pointed out a lot of places. He made sure we were all on the bus and safe. His recommendations for lunches was very very helpful. Can't say enough about Young Stephen and his great work ethic. You can tell he really enjoys his job. Very nice tour. Differently will book again! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ tour guide and tour. But maybe next time we could see Jamie . Lots of fun. Tour taken 10/09/2024.
Fantastic experience: What a great tour! 5 Day Northern England! Kevin was our guide. Kind, helpful, kept us on track, was patient, interactive, knowledgeable, humorous, safe, and an overall pleasure! I don’t know how Rabbie’s picks their guides, and I’ve only experienced Kevin, but he made every place so much more. Well done Rabbie! We packed so much in 5 days! My highlights were...Honestly… everything. Berwick- Bamburgh Castle- York- The Dales!!!- Keswick- Hadrians wall/ Vindolanda… The food, the people, the sights, the views. On the tour, my wife and I were already talking about another tour with Rabbie… and how to get Kevin!
Fantastic experience: AMAZING. we did the 5 day tour of Iona, Mull and Idle of Skye. We had Allen as our tour guide and he was so memorable. What a personable and fun way to tour the most beautiful parts of Scotland!
Fantastic experience: We went on a tour of St. Andrews’s, and the fishing villages of Fife. Our guide Penny was quite knowledgeable and personable. We also used Rabbie’s for our tour of the Highland Lochs, Glens, and a whiskey distillery tour. The two guides Sean and Jim we had for this tour were also wonderful! We saw a beautiful waterfall and had a short walk through some spectacularly tall trees! We loved the small group experience and would highly recommend this tour company!
Fantastic experience: Did the 5 day highland's tour with Ros - was excellent! Ros was excellent with his comments and knowledge of the areas. Great bus, people and driver - thank you Rabbies. This was our first experience with Rabbies.
Fantastic experience: The spring of 2023, we did a 5 day tour from London through parts of Wales. There we so many great places. I will probably spell them all wrong. Loved it so much. It was a bit off season so the weather didn’t cooperate but we didn’t care. The people were great. The food and the museums were great. Our driver (Graham from Scotland) was also so great. He was funny,, told a lot of stories, had a good mix of music. He worked with our tour group and made the trip memorable. The only problem we encountered was my husband got sick and missed one of the outings. Looking forward to making another booking with Rabbies Travel again. Loved the smalller busses too.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic day with the Rabbies Loch Ness/highlands day tour from Glasgow. There were plenty short stops, photo and bathroom opportunities and the scenery from the bus was just breathtaking. We recommend doing the additional boat tour at Loch Ness. Our tour guide Allister was great! He knows a lot about Scotland and tells a lot of interesting facts and jokes. All in all a great day with a lot to see and enjoy in the highlands.
Fantastic experience: Swain was a great guide for our Loch Ness day tour! Beautiful views the whole ride and he was excellent entertainment.
Fantastic experience: We went on two tours in two days with Rabbies, and it was excellent. The first day we went to Calzean Castle and Brig-a-Doon and the second day we went up to the Highlands and Loch Ness. Our drivers (Nick and Tom) were warm, knowledgeable, and had some truly epic “dad” jokes. The sites were spectacular and exactly what I had been hoping to see in Scotland! I was so impressed I have booked a third tour from Edinburgh to see Hadrian’s Wall.
Fantastic experience: I went on the 2 day Highlands Tour from Edinburgh where we are driven all the way up to Inverness and back the next day. This was probably the best guided tour I’ve ever been on. Our Driver-Guide Alasdair (Ally) was very informative, charming, and funny. He knew about the history of each place we visited whether it was a town or national monument or view on the side of the road. For a 2 day tour, it is quite jam packed and you get to see exactly what is on the itinerary and stop at a couple places as well for 30 mins to an hour to roam around by ourselves. Rabbie’s also booked accommodation for me in Inverness and that was great as well.
Fantastic experience: Did the Lochness tour with them. Loved it. Oir tour guide James was very friendly and helpful. He took is to the best spots for pictures and to pick wild blueberries . This was great.
Fantastic experience: Jamie, what a fantastic guide! He shared everything with passion, dedication, and the occasional laugh. Due to the setback on the road, it was very well resolved with a beautiful nature alternative! It is definitely highly recommended, and special thanks to the guide for giving us an unforgettable day. Greetings from the Belgian friends of 4.
Fantastic experience: We couldn't recommend Rabbies Outlander tour enough. Fantastic tour of some of the film locations, with the most breathtaking views. Kim, our driver & guide was fantastic, so knowledgeable, humorous & attentive to all on the tour. It's an absolute must for Outlander fans, but thoroughly enjoyable for anyone
Fantastic experience: My friend and I went on the 4 day Outlander tour, and WOW were we impressed! Our tour guide, Mac, was absolutely fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure we got the full experience and saw as much of the beauty of Scotland as possible in those 4 days. Seeing the Outlander filming locations was amazing, and learning about the history of Scotland was equally amazing. Thank you Mac and Rabbies!
Fantastic experience: My family and I went on the 1 day West Highlands, Lochs and Castles Tour with Stuart (or Stewart - sorry i didn't see the spelling!) as our tour guide. He was very likable, talkative and funny. Great stories, music, jokes along the way. I would definitely book with them again. Thanks!!
Fantastic experience: We went on the Rabbie's 3 day Isle of Skye tour in May 2024 and it continues to be an experience we talk about months later. While the scenery and tour itself were amazing, cur incredible time on the tour was mainly due to our wonderful tour guide, Penny. Penny had the perfect mix of knowledge, humour and genuine care for the experience of people on the tour. Penny was able to coordinate a large group well by letting us know what was coming up and how much time we had to keep things moving - all while allowing us to experience everything the beautiful Scottish Highlands had to offer. We were particularly impressed with Penny’s ability and experience in flexing our tour based on the weather and little requests from the group, which meant we got to see the main sites but other cool things as well. Penny is one of the best story-tellers we have ever met, which made the tour such a joy because she was able to tell stories that were informative, engaging and relevant to what we were seeing, and to Scottish history and culture. Thank you Penny for one of the most memorable travel experience we expect to ever have!
Fantastic experience: We went on a 3 day tour from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye. Our tour guide, Swain, was excellent. Just a really pleasant person to spend three days with. He did what he could to make the trip the best it could be for our particular group. We appreciated his choices for stops, interesting facts, and funny stories. And Skye - amazingly beautiful. So glad we went.
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience with Stephen (our driver and tour guide) and David (in training) during our tour to Hadrian's Wall (leaving out of Edinburgh). We learned so much, not only about Roman Britain, but about Scottish history, culture, and geography. One of the highlights of our trip to the UK! We couldn't have spent the day in a better way, or with more gracious company. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: What a great trip today with Al to Rosslyn Chapel, Melrose Abby, Scott’s View and William Wallace statue. I enjoyed Al’s wealth of knowledge and his jokes, it was so much fun.
Negative experience: Five of us booked the Loch Ness, Glencoe, and Highlands one-day tour from Edinburgh, eager to experience the Scottish Highlands during our short visit. Having heard positive reviews about Rabbies Tours, we were disappointed with our experience. Our day included a stop at Loch Ness, a coffee break at a disappointing cafe and a foggy lookout point. We were particularly excited to see Glencoe and the famous Harry Potter train, but unfortunately, a serious accident blocked the road leading there. After an 8-9 hour bus journey, we were redirected to Oban for a mere thirty minutes. While we understand that accidents are unavoidable, replacing the stunning Glencoe with a brief stop on an ordinary Oban street felt like a poor substitute. Our disappointment deepened when customer service dismissed our complaint, claiming Oban was superior to Glencoe. Such a response is absurd. The beautiful mountain scenery cannot be compared to a few shops on a street. Given our experience, I would not recommend this tour company. The $110 price tag doesn't justify a twelve-hour bus ride with little to see, a chatty driver, and poor customer service.
Fantastic experience: We went on the NC500 tour. James was our driver and he was the BEST! We saw beautiful landscapes, met nice people and learned about Scotland from James. The bus was comfy. We had back seats which had more elbow room and great views at the windows. We stopped at places with toilets and refreshments along the way. James is very knowledgeable about the NC500 sights. Rabbies booked our accommodations and we were very happy with them. We would do a Rabbies tour again!
Fantastic experience: We did the Speyside whisky tour and loved it. Great mix of distilleries, a cask (coopering) facility and impossibly pretty Scottish locations. Roger, our guide, was exceptional. Charming, knowledgeable, funny and so helpful. I promise this isn’t a paid review, I’m just so glad that we chose to do this. Don’t hesitate if you have the chance!
Fantastic experience: A great day trip discovering the Highlands, Glencoe, and Loch Ness (with a boat ride). With our guide/driver James Scot who is wonderful. Even the typically Scottish weather only made this day memorable.
Fantastic experience: Peter did an amazing job, we were entertained and educated from the minute the tour started! There is no way we could have seen so many gems without him. We would love to come back and go on another couple of tours. It could not have been any better!!
Fantastic experience: We loved our tour with Stuart to Stirling Castle. He was knowledgeable, funny, and made the bus rude entertaining with jokes, facts, and music. My 11 and 14 year old learned so much and loved all the places we stopped(especially the coos). Stuart was so patient with our child who has slight special needs and talked to her about her interests (animals and bugs). We highly recommend Rabbies Tours in Edinburgh and Stuart.
Fantastic experience: We had a rough start due to an illness which caused us to miss our excursion. We had booked though VIATOR who promptly told us to talk to the hand when asked for help rescheduling or for a refund. I decided to contact Rabbies directly. Angus and Donald were happy to assist and even though we missed the written deadline for canceling, they got us on a tour for the following day. The tour itself ,Malt Whisky tour was an absolute blast thanks to our guide, Gregor and driver Paul. Great food, stories, education and of course whisky. If you get the opportunity, do the tour and hope you get Gregor and Paul. Or catch them in another tour with Rabbies Thanks to all for saving the day Regards Paul and Janelle
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing day today with our guide, Stuart, to the Kelpies, Loch Lomond and Stirling castle. Stuart was so informative on the Scottish history related to the sights we were visiting. He also gave us great reviews on Scottish films and music. He remembered details about those of us on the tour which personalized it even more. The unexpected stop to feed the Highland cows was a special treat. Although we experienced some typical Scottish weather this afternoon, it didn’t dampen our enthusiasm! Thank you, Stuart, for a wonderful day!
Fantastic experience: If I could give this 10 stars I would! My family and I were in Edinburgh for the first time last August 2023 for the Fringe and upon recommendation from a friend did a 2 day Highlands tour with Rabbie's. I truly don't think my little family of 3 have every experienced something that we loved more. Bruce was our guide and every little detail he shared(including DJing the ride with all kinds of pop music from artists we had no idea were Scottish) was perfect. He was so kind, funny, and informative the whole two days. Glencoe may just be the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my whole life. If you're looking to explore Scotland then you are doing yourself a disservice if you do NOT use Rabbie's. Trust me. And if you can get Bruce, you're in for a true treat! We will be back this August and look forward to hopefully booking another excursion with Rabbie's! Thank you for making our trip to the Highlands so special and memorable and sorry it took me so long to write this review.
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing time on our tour to Loch Ness. Barbara was absolutely delightful sharing plenty of information & local color that made the experience fun. We appreciated her wonderful personality, wit, knowledge & enthusiasm. The bus & her driving was very comfortable which was appreciated considering we covered 300 miles in a 12 hour tour.
Fantastic experience: Recently went on the day tour to isle of Skye and it was hands down the best tour I’ve been on! Very jam packed day but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Our tour guide was Duncan and he was amazing! He even played us his flute and honestly that was one of the highlights of the day. Genuinely a really nice guy and the tour was informative as well. Duncan deserves a raise though bc I haven’t seen a tour guide more passionate than him! Loved it and highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Had the three day Isle of Skye tour with Andrew Swain and it was awesome. Andrew made the tour fun by explaining some of the history of Scotland with added humour. We had many stops for sightseeing and pictures which I loved as well. Overall the tour was well worth it.
Fantastic experience: Excellent! We did the 3-Day Speyside Whisky Tour in Scotland and loved it! We got to sample fantastic whiskies and tour a variety of interesting distilleries, as well as other great sites. Our driver, Al, was very knowledgeable and it was a joy to listen to his explanations and jokes! All in all, a great experience and highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: We recently went on a day tour to St. Andrew’s and Fife almost 2 weeks ago. We had an amazing time! Rhys was our guide and he provided great insight filled with humor and fun pub trivia facts. He also had a great playlist! He had recommendations of places to go on our stops. Cromar’s for fish & chips was delicious! The vans are very clean and comfortable. If you are prone to car sickness - bring something to be prepared! There are winding roads and hills. I took some motion sickness meds. Rhys was a great, safe driver and I never felt sick! We would definitely do another Rabbie’s tour!
Fantastic experience: Just finished an amazing trip to the Orkneys with Macenzie. We were so well cared for. Mac went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe, he collected rubbish at every site to help maintain the sites for future visitors. We were regaled with stories of folklore, history and the environment from one end of the country to the other. We were also taken to many places that were not on the itinerary. Even after 18 years as a guide, Mac showed such enthusiasm for sharing his country with others and told his tales with the flair and aplomb that could only come from long dedication to his storytelling craft. I wouldn't hesitate to take another opportunity to travel with him or a Rabbies tour again.
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about our Isle of Skye tour! Our guide, Ally, was incredible. He had seemingly boundless knowledge of the sites we visited, patience with all of our questions, great recommendations for food and drink, and the best sense of humor. I'm taking home great memories, great pictures, and a desire to return soon.
Fantastic experience: This tour was FANTASTIC! We had such a great time and we LOVED the fact this was a small bus compared to the big buses. In fact, the whole family agrees this was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip to the UK. It made us all want to make the Scottish Highlands top priority for a future trip. Our Guides, Lizzie and Jamie were INCREDIBLE. I wish so bad I could have a recording of Lizzie's narration of the Scottish history and stories she gave the entire tour. So much information! She was so knowledgeable, EASY TO UNDERSTAND (I've heard people complain on other tours that they had a hard time with a thick accent which made it difficult to understand the narration), and so animated. (she told me she was a theater major, which showed!) We can't say enough good things about Lizzie and Jamie (the driver). We would book this tour again in heartbeat and would recommend this to anyone thinking of booking a day trip to the highlands from Edinburgh.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing three day isle of Skye tour with guide Lizzie. She was super friendly, funny and full of amazing tales. Was really a highlight of our trip. We typically don't do tours but glad we did this one!
Fantastic experience: A very beautiful experience. We were 4 French friends but only 1 speaks English. He tried to translate the essentials for us. Our guide Lizzie (Elisabeth) was exceptional, she is caring and has a storytelling style worthy of the greatest storytellers. And even without understanding her (for 3 of us), we greatly enjoyed these 2 days. Special mention for the well-chosen playlist between the stops. We recommend Rabbie s and Lizzie!
Fantastic experience: We have just returned from the 4 day tour of the Highlands, Isle of Mull, Iona and Staffa. It was a wonderful trip, magnificent landscapes. Our tour guide Robbie was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, considerate, couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Thank you so much..
Fantastic experience: We took two tours from Manchester, one to the Lake District with Chris and the other to Snowdonia with James. Both were so pleasant to have as our guides and were informative, knowledgeable, and entertaining. They also clearly both have pride in Manchester, and both had curated playlists of music from the city as well as scenic music to go with different parts of the trips. Each ended with a Wonderwall sing-a-long and it was magic. Thank you both for such a great time on each trip!
Fantastic experience: I have been travelling with and recommending Rabbies for years now and they have never disappointed. This time we indulged ourselves and booked a private tour, which was just brilliant. The comfort and privacy aside, the Highlands tour was a lovely experience, not the least because of our guide/driver JP, whose humour and warmth made the two days go by in a breeze. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I had the please of touring with Cameron and Caitlin from Glasgow to the Isle of Skye on a 3 day tour in early April. Cameron was a wealth of knowledge, offering insightful and educational commentary throughout the tour. His dad jokes were also on point! The itinerary itself was well-paced, allowing ample time to appreciate each destination without feeling rushed. The transport was comfortable, and the logistics were handled smoothly, allowing for a stress-free experience. I would highly recommend the tour and hope you are lucky enough to also have Cameron or Caitlin as your tour guide!
Fantastic experience: Went on the Loch Ness and Highland 1 day tour and it was fantastic. Ian was very knowledgeable and interactive with the guests.
Fantastic experience: TLDR: I doubt after their glowing reviews you’re on the fence - but if you are - just do it. There are not even words to describe the professionalism, educational, and love of land that this company has - and I have to give utmost props to our tour guide Mac. My family of 4 went from Edinbrough to the Kelpies, Stirling Castle and Loch Lomand. Mac’s stories - enticing, engaging and easy to follow. Their customer service - I am pregnant and had to take an emergency stop on the trip. This teams knows the country like the back of their hand, and Mac’s trainee, Dave, even spared me the coins to get into the public restroom. I have never felt so cared for. Astounded. Their love of land - Mac picked up trash at every stop. We asked - he doesn’t have to. He chooses to, and encouraged every other guide to do the same to keep Scotland beautiful. Lastly, Mac even did extra stops due to saved time, and played us the bagpipes while looking over the highlands. Highlight of our trip, and our family has been talking about Mac ever since. If we are ever back in Scotland, we will use them for every trip.
Fantastic experience: I loved my experience with Rabbies during the Edinburgh Loch Ness, Glencoe & the Highlands 1 day tour. I sat right next to our driver and guide, Dave, and I had the best views in the house (made the lack of leg space totally worth it and I don’t regret choosing to sit there). Dave was everything you could ask for in a guide - was super knowledgeable, his music choices were perfect for the settings, kept us entertained, took pictures for us, gave great suggestions for where to eat and how to spend our time at locations, was responsive to requests, made sure we were on time for the Loch Ness cruise, directed us to the best photo spots and kept us safe while on time. He even took us to a spot with highland cows for pictures. I also got to learn more of the politics as a curious Canadian without offending him or anyone else (I hope). He even wore a kilt for a more authentic Scottish experience. The tour itself was great too - felt like I got a sense of what it means to be Scottish and in Scotland, which was very important to me given I was only there for a short time. It was visually stunning to be in the highlands. There was even a bagpipe busker at the three sisters and I cried listening to him play in that magnificent setting. The locals at locations were kind and accommodating, and their food was great. Mountains, waterfalls, castles, Loch Ness, glens, great food. I wasn’t left wanting more. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! P.S.A for tourists - if you’re sick and choosing to go on tours, wear a mask for the safety of those around you. Please, it sucks that you’re sick on your vacation but please don’t expose the rest of us to get sick on ours. It’s the equivalent of people having bare feet out. A lady had her bare naked foot out twice during this tour right behind the driver and next to me. Please remember to be courteous and respectful of others.
Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best tours for Isle of Skye! It is the highlight of my whole scotland trip. Isle of Skye tour has glens to hike and waterfalls along the way. The majestic sights are genuinely breath-taking and unforgettable. Although I'm not an outlander fan, I enjoyed the detailed explanations about jackabites and the uprising while enjoying mother nature at its best. The small bus was also advantageous in navigating the narrow roads at Isle of Skye. Many thanks to Ashleigh, our tour guide, who was very competent in driving and providing us a truly immersive experience (with music and explanations!)
Fantastic experience: 3 day Isle of Skye tour was great. Our guide, Donald, was absolutely the best, he knew soo much about Scotland and its history and was able to share it in an entertaining and captivating way. I didn't expect I would love it that much! The views were amazing and we got to see a lot of places. The accommodation organised by Rabbies was also great and comfy. There weren't many possibilities to hike due to time constraints, but I would have preferred to do that not in a group anyway. Overall very recommended to get your first taste of Scotland!! You will love it.
Fantastic experience: Kim was our guide for the Outlander tour from Edinburgh and she was fantastic! She was so sweet, and made the day lots of fun. She’s also a great driver. I felt very safe with her behind the wheel! It was really fun being in a van full of fellow Outlander fans, and of course seeing some iconic filming locations. Everything was well organized and I felt like I had plenty of time at each location. 10/10 :)
Fantastic experience: We went on a day tour to St Andrews with Trevor as a driver. It was just amazing, he constantly pointed out places and gave facts. The trip exceeded my already high expectations. There was 4 stops all worth visiting. We have great memories and photos. If possible I would have giving 6 stars.
Fantastic experience: My family and I took a 3 day Isle of Skye tour, departing from Edinburgh. Our driver Mark was a great story teller, very informative, funny, helpful, and took care of our entire group. The best part of the tour for me was a deeper understanding of how the pride and pain of Scottland's history mingle together to form a truly unique culture. Our 3-day tour was jam packed, so next time we will book a longer tour. One bonus - when our daughter tearfully announced she forgot her phone at our last stop, Mark turned the van around and took her back. When she returned from the shop with her phone in hand, the entire group applauded Mark for his courtesy, and for my daughter's good fortune.
Fantastic experience: We went for the Loch Ness day trip that gives a great taster of what Scotland has to offer in its highland region! David H was a charismatic tour guide and a safe driver. The trip is well-planned and despite the packed itinerary, it has a sufficient amount of breaks between stops to use the restroom and grab refreshments. The minivan holds 16 passengers and is quite comfortable. I'd recommend this Rabbie's tour for a day trip out of Edinburgh.
Fantastic experience: We did two tours with them recently (one to Loch Ness and the Highlands and another to see the filming sets of Outlander) and the experience was incredible! Super organized, punctual and helpful team. Our guide on both days was Nick, a fantastic and very patient professional. I'm not fluent in English, but I was able to understand practically all the instructions he gave. We had a lesson in history, geography, arts, and current affairs with him! I don't usually write many reviews here on Google, but I thought this one was worth sharing. It was really worth it! I loved it.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday4-19-24 my friend and I took a Rabbie Tour to Saint Andrews. We had the most wonderful time and we had the best tour guides. Peter and Taz made our day. We learned so much Scottish history and really enjoyed our day. Peters love of Scotland really shined through and was contagious. We fell in love with Scotland and plan to return. Thank you Peter and Taz and good luck Peter on your upcoming wedding. Love the crazy Americans. Charlette Fuggetta and Marjorie Lynn Marques
Fantastic experience: Excellent tour to Rosslyn chapel & Melrose abbey. Lynn was great & very informative
Fantastic experience: I have always enjoyed tours with Rabbies. The driver/guides are friendly and very informative, and the cost is very reasonable. I also love the fact that they use small mini-bus (16-seater only).Looking forward tl booking another trip with them soon.
Fantastic experience: Complete Loch Ness Experience one day tour from Inverness. Fantastic tour. Big thank you to Amy T, our driver and guide. Comfortable bus, lots of stops for comfort breaks and opportunities to explore surroundings. Would highly recommend for dipping your toe into the Highlands!
Fantastic experience: Our guides were amazing! They explained many things about the history of all the places we passed through. We made the one day tour: West Highland, Lochs and Castles. It totaly worth it. The admission to the Doune Castle worth it if you're a big fan of Outlander other than that I don't think it's worth it.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience with Rabbie's tour! We departed from Edinburgh early in the morning to explore Loch Ness and the Highlands. It was made even better by our five-star guide, Big Duncan! Thank you, Duncan, for such a wonderful experience!
Fantastic experience: We just did two tours with Rabbie's last week. One was the Outlander tour from Edinburgh led by Mac and the other was the Isle of Skye tour led by Graham. Both men did a wonderful job!! We loved hearing all of their stories and the history of each spot we saw. We loved how flexible they were to stop at different spots for the group (like stopping to see sheep or highland cows!). It was an incredible trip! We loved that Mac played his Huemmelchen for us. Graham was also very kind. It was my birthday the day he led our tour and he surprised me with a Scottish pastry to celebrate! We had a wonderful time and are already planning our next trip to Scotland, which will include another tour (or two!) with Rabbie's!!
Fantastic experience: Had a 2-day tour through Scotland and it smashed our expectations. Pete was our guide/driver, and did much more than the itinerary. Couldn’t have had a better guide! Next time we’re in Scotland we’ll be doing another Rabbie’s tour - no chance we could replicate that much in the timeframe had we done it ourselves. Again, request Pete if you’re doing a tour!
Fantastic experience: Just returned from a 3 Day Lake District tour with brilliant Bus Driver Bruce which was fabulous for a nature lover like me. We stopped at many different cute towns, mini hikes to gorgeous vistas/waterfalls/lakesides and learned so many fun facts about the history of the area. Bruce was excellent and I would recommend any trip you can take with him.
Fantastic experience: Took the day tour to Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the Highlands. Loved it! Our tour guide, JP was kind , knowledgeable, and fun. The tour was jam packed and fast paced and we were able to see so much. Tour was well organized, on time, and comfortable. I would love to travel with Rabbie’s again. Well done!
Fantastic experience: Rabbie's tour guide to Glencoe,the Highlands and lochness! Graham you are the top man and great commentary and a great driver with all the scenery of the breathtaking scenery Thanks for the awesome time! Marianne
Fantastic experience: We did a private 3 day tour from Edinburgh to Isle of Skye with William in March 2024 and had an amazing time! We were able to customize our trip completely and William was up for taking us wherever we wanted to go. William told us all about the history of Scotland and the history of each our stops. Likely one of the best tours I have ever taken and would recommend it to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Today we did the Outlander day trip with our guide Steven and driver Mina, both did their jobs very well. Steven told and showed us many interesting things about the Outlander series. We saw many filming locations. A road from the 16th century. A completely different feeling to see and experience all of this. A wonderful experience for life. This tour can be recommended to all Outlander fans.
