We took the 4 day tour to Isle of Skye with Rabbie's Tours. It was amazing!! Our driver/tour guide, Peter was knowledgeable and entertaining. I would highly recommend and use this company for other tours. read more

We went on 3 day Isle of Skye tour in July and it was fantastic. Our guide was Kaylie and she great .. knowledgeable and helpful. She was always on time and very kind. I was taking a diabetic medicine that was causing some bathroom issues and she did an emergency stop for me and I am so grateful. I highly recommend tours to see Uk as driving on the other side of the road and a million turn about circles is terrifying so let the professionals take that stress from you. Plus they know where the cool stuff is and when to go. Our other tours in other countries the driver and guide were separate, so she gets bonus points for doing it all and to perfection. the roads are so narrow and scary but she did great. this was first time using this company but left willing to take other tours with Rabbies. She didn't say anything about tips which most do .. but bring tip money and reward exceptional service. We went on the trip with another couple and made some lovely memories. Loved going with friends even made it more special but in other trips we ended up making friends for life so either way is great. We did a stop near an ancient Village I think Vikings anyway there were some shops there where my friend bought a purse and I kicked myself for not going in there and getting one too. I thought the purse prices would be better in Edinburgh they were made with the local Fabric and real leather. When we got to Edinburgh the purses were not as well made and they were more expensive and a lot of them weren't even with real leather or made locally. The Edinburgh purse is a lot of them they use the fabric woven there but they made them out of the country probably China or India. Anyway I that is my biggest regret of the trip that I didn't buy an Islander purse. Now I'm going to have to see if I can buy one online and it'll be a lot more money. So if you go to the Isle of sky and you want a bag or a purse you might want to keep that in mind. My friend bought one that was more large than what I would have wanted but it was around a hundred and some dollars great price for the quality. It's well known that the UK is not known for its great weather. Lots of rain and can be very windy around the cliffs and water. I bought vessie shoes which are waterproof and comfortable but kind of expensive. I also took a raincoat with a hood and a hat with a brim and a chin strap because the wind around the cliffs is real. This hat is especially nice because it has a mesh netting that you can unclip in case you're getting in a buggy area which around the ferry pools we needed. If you don't need the netting you can just clip it back up and so it's really handy. The UK and pretty much most of Europe we find that they like twin beds in the hotels and especially the b&bs. I guess people don't like each other lol and want to sleep together. So we would call ahead and ask that they push the beds together before we get there if that was the case. They also don't seem to have air conditioning screens on the windows or sheets on the beds?? Sometimes places will have fans so it's worth asking or calling ahead to see if you can reserve a fan because they definitely don't have enough fans for every room. If you stay in a US-based hotel like a Hilton or Marriott Holiday Inn you don't have to deal with this as much but I guess it's just common in Europe. Traveling through the summer or heat wave months this can be a bit of a problem. The bed seemed all have these duvets which is great if it's cold out but when it's too warm it's a bit uncomfortable. Since we were roasting we had to open the window didn't love that there was no screen and a lot of the windows are made to where you can only open them about an inch so it doesn't provide much air. This was the case through all of the UK not just the Isle of Skye. read more

We were in Scotland for a few weeks and wanted to see sights beyond the cities we were staying in but didn't want to rent a car. I had heard good things about Rabbie's Tours so we booked a few. So very glad we did!! All of our drivers were awesome. We had enough time at all of the stops to get out, stretch our legs, wander around & see the sights. And our drivers were great at letting us know the best places to stop for a bite to eat if we were hungry. We took tours from Aberdeen, Inverness, and Edinburgh. Would definitely book other tours from them again the next time we're in Scotland. read more

We enjoyed the tour, everything was well thought out, friendly and knowledgeable. Great value and had fun.

We had the best tour through the highlands with our tour guide Stefan. He's a very safe driver and kept us entertained the whole time. He's took our interests into consideration and included it into our tour. The sights were beautiful and he knew all of the best spots. Would love to tour with Rabbie's and Stefan again. read more

I've taken a lot of small group tours via mini buses all throughout the UK, and Rabbies was my least favorite. I think a lot of that had to do with the day trip I took (Ancient England: Salisbury & the Jurassic Coast): 1. The driver showed up late; he then gave the no-shows the benefit of the doubt and waited for them (which is thoughtful... just not to the rest of us). We ended up leaving closer to 9:15am than 8:30am, so traffic getting out of Bath was brutal. 2. The day was 10 hours long... less than 4 of which was OFF the bus. 2a. We got 2 hours at Salisbury Cathedral. The driver didn't imply if the focus was the cathedral or the town; when asked about pubs or local coffee shops to support he said, "Just go to Gregg's." He gave no information about the stop. 2b. We got 45 minutes at Lulworth Cove. The driver said it would take at least 20 minutes to walk down the rocky, steep incline; we should get down as quickly as possible, snap a photo, then get back on the bus. He gave no information about the stop. 2c. We got 30 minutes at Durdle Door. The driver suggested we get ice cream, go look at the beach, then get back on the bus. He gave no information about the stop. 2d. We got 30 minutes at Glastonbury. We arrived past 5pm, so everything was closed. The driver suggested we "snap photos from afar" then get back on the bus. When asked questions about Glastonbury, he pulled out a notecard that said, "home of the new age movement". He admitted he didn't actually know anything, so played us a moderately offensive skit from a comedian about what a joke Glastonbury and all of its legend/lore was. Did we learn anything on this tour? No. Did we feel connected to the history or beauty of this area? No. This was an absolute waste of money and time. If you're in Dublin: take Vagabond Tours. If you're in Bath: take Mad Max Tours. If you're in Edinburgh: take Heart of Scotland Tours. For me, Rabbies is a hard pass. read more

My family of 4 did a 3-day tour from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye. Everyone on our bus felt like good friends by the time the tour was over. There were plenty of stops along the way, and so many opportunities to get some lovely pictures and learn about the history of Scotland. By the last day of the tour, I was ready to be done. I had taken hundreds of pictures, and there wasn't much else I felt like I needed to see or learn. By the time we made it to Loch Ness, I was just ready to be back home. My gripes are few: our initial tour guide had a family emergency a few hours into our trip and had to be replaced with another guide, which was unfortunate but can't blame anyone for that. Rabbie's did a great job of getting us a replacement guide relatively quickly, and our new guide was great (he got us to Portree around 9pm). Also, there are so many stops along the way to get out and take photos, but there weren't any special excursions or Rabbies-specific perks at any of the stops, which I think was fine for most of our bus, but would've been a nice touch. Only once or twice did we stop somewhere that didn't have other tour buses stopped as well. My kids had a remarkably good time during the 3 days, which was a nice surprise. We would definitely go through Rabbies again in the future, if only to get a feel for where we would want to visit longer on a later trip to Scotland. read more

Not my favorite for several reasons. I'll start with the positive: The 11 passenger van was clean and in good condition. The tour guide knows a lot of facts and history. The negative: we were a group of 9 for the Loch Ness tour. They would not put us all in the same van, insisted on splitting us up in 4/5 between two vans, mixed with other groups. They said this was so we would not "take over" the van. I think perhaps they were concerned with a raucous group that would distract from the tour. Not to worry. The tour guides did that himself with frequent political opinions and dad jokes. There was never a moment's peace to just look out the window and enjoy the scenery. It was just too much talking. We are a close knit group, including several professional photographers. We wanted to take photos together at the stops along the way, but since we were in two separate vans, we didn't stop at the same time, so no group photos or technical discussions at the various stops, until we got to Loch Ness. It was disappointing. The other part of about the Loch Ness tour that they make a lot of stops along the way, for a few minutes each. I recognize that there are 11 people on the van who might need to use the facilities, but I think I would rather make one or two less stops and then spend more time at Loch Ness. read more

My wife and I had an amazing time on our 1 day Loch Ness tour with Chaz! If I could do it over, I'd definitely book a longer tour because some stops felt rushed, but that's not the tour's fault, it just has to be that way to get there and back in a day. I really recommend booking their longer tours. But Chaz was informative, funny, engaging and made our day really positive and worthwhile! read more

Iain  saves the day! We booked the 9 day trip Highlands (Syke Iona and Orkney). The review is twofold. 3- Stars Five Day, including Skye, was led by Peter. The trip was not a Rabbies trip for us. Where we found our driver and guide distracted by the rider in the shotgun seat of the bus. Their conversations were a distraction, and after five days, I felt we were not getting the treatment I've come to love about Rabbies. Peter did not lead from the front, and as the five days wore on, I considered earphones and my audio book even. If our trip ended here. I would not return to Rabbies. 5-stars Four Day, including Okrney and 900 square miles of the upper part of Scotland lead by Iain (Pictured). Restoration and faith from the moment we were added to the group who left Edinburgh the day before. Ian shared so many facts, history, and landscape thoughts that was never ending. He hiked down to caves, over title pools where the tide was out, over cliffs, and so much more. He took time to care for everyone on the trip. He knew us so deeply and incorporated folks by name through the trip. He was the embodiment of the Rabbies way as we first experienced in Dublin as we traveled with them in 2019 on two trips. Peter needs to be retrained and reoriented to the experience. Iain the Magnificent ... thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Fantastic experience all around, I couldn't be more satisfied. My girlfriend and I did the 3 day Isle of Skye Tour from Edinburgh. Our guide Michael was excellent, even though it was his first time doing this particular tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about Scottish history and culture and a great storyteller, keeping things engaging with jokes too. He was kind and courteous in managing the group (full group of 16) and logistics - even switching to French at times to help a French couple. The van was comfortable with large windows, and we saw lots of wonderful sights at a comfortable pace, it felt appropriate for both young travelers like us (about 30) and older couples in the group. Even the music playlist added to the experience. It was a highlight of my whole 2 week Britain trip, and I would definitely go on another tour with them again. read more

The driver refused to accommodate our hearing disability. Was rude and dismissive. Seemed unconcerned that we could not hear important announcements. He refused to wear my microphone that has a Bluetooth connection to my hearing aids. He was simply uninterested in making any accommodations for our disability. We left the bus. read more

We took Rabbie's one-day tour from Edinburgh to Rosslyn Chapel & the Scottish Borders, a seven-hour journey that included not only Rosslyn Chapel but also Melrose Abbey, Scott's View, the Tweed Valley, and the William Wallace Statue. It was a cold and blustery day in March (although thankfully there was little rain), so it was a good choice because most of our time was spent indoors with only brief forays into the weather. Our tour guide, Mark, kept us educated and entertained during the whole day. He answered all of our questions and had no shortage of interesting stories to keep us occupied for the entire trip. It was clear that he enjoys his job. We know from experience that tour guides are not all created equal. Mark easily ranks among the top three (and we have had many)! We would definitely take another Rabbie's tour if we made another visit to Scotland. read more

This is my third tour with Rabbie's. It was a three day tour of Skye. Our driver/tour guide was William. The tour itself was absolutely perfect: we saw so many great places: Callender, Glencoe, Portree, Neist Point, Tallisker distillery, Fairy Glen and so much more. William was patient and knowledgeable . He was the perfect combination of funny, kind, interesting and professional. Everyone on the tour enjoyed his stories and his grasp of the history of Scotland. If you told me he was a professor at the University of Edinburgh, I wouldn't doubt it at all. If I had one piece of advice for Rabbies it would be : clone William. If you can do it with Dolly, you can do it with William. read more

Our Rabbie's Loch Ness & Highlands Day Tour (with the cruise) from Edinburgh was INCREDIBLE!! Our tour guide, Peter, couldn't have been better. He was engaging, very funny, and knowledgeable. The coach was very comfortable and the small group of 15 was just the right size. There was sufficient time at each stop, including at Loch Ness where we had 20 minutes before and after the cruise to shop and pick up lunch. Do not miss this day tour if you're visiting Scotland! read more

Great tour provider Quality transportation Excellent experience My family took the Kelpies, Loch Lomond, and Stirling Castle tour, with great results. Our ride was comfortable, the background information given was helpful (and occasionally funny), and our guidance for how the day would unfold was clear and sensible. Our 16-passenger van was comfortable, afforded good views throughout, and made the tour feel less overpopulated than large-scale bus tours. Stephen C was an excellent guide and a pleasure to tag along with. I would use Rabbies again in a heartbeat - highest recommendation. read more

I studied abroad at Edinburgh University three years ago, and since then, have traveled back to the city and to Scotland every year. I have also done three Rabbies tours. One 2 day trip to Inverness, a day trip to Glencoe and Aberfeldy Distillery, and have just recently completed my 3 day tour of the Isle of Skye. Every single one of these tours has been incredible, especially the last one to the Isle of Skye, and it was our tour guide Kylie who made the experience so memorable. I'm not sure if you can request certain tour guides, but if you can, request for her. Extremely knowledgeable and a great historical and folklore storyteller that adds a touch of spontaneity while still ensuring you're where you need to be when you need to; shemakes for a trip you won't forget. My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast and will certainly be choosing Rabbies again when we come back next year! read more

Amazing tour! Saw so many great sites! The West Highland, Koch's & castles tour was made especially memorable by our wonderful guide Shea!

We had a wonderful one-day trip to St. Andrew's with Rabbie's, made even better by our guide/driver Rhys! He was fun and knowledgeable, and his genuine passion and enthusiastic pride for his country was welcomed and appreciated. read more

My best day in Scotland so far. Our driver Peter made our trip to Kelties, Loch Ness, and Sterling Castle one of the best experiences I've had.

Thank you for a experience I will never forget . Grateful traveler from California read more

Graham is giving us a wonderful 5 day tour of Wales. We do not usually take tours--we roll our own. It was totally worth it to have Graham drive us from London bus station to lots of castles. We did hotel paid for and was very happy with room and nice breakfast included. Graham seamlessly got us into each place because he called them. The people on the bus were enjoyable. We will do more Rabbie's tours. A friend that travels a lot more than we do recommended Rabbie's. The Mercedes Benz bus was modern and spotless. Comfortable seats . We moved along but did not feel rushed. I am glad I did not have to select route, restaurants, and hotels. read more

We had a wonderful tour of Southwestern Ireland through Rabbie's! Our driver / tour guide, Dan Foley, was informative, kind, organized, and hilarious to boot. I cannot recommend this small group tour enough. We were picked up/dropped off each day from our hotels and all details of the itinerary were taken care of for us. I don't typically book catered tours, but if I were do it again, it would be through Rabbie's. Dan really made this tour exceptional by going above and beyond - he would help us with our bags to our hotel and make sure the staff had our reservation before letting us go. He always had great stories, sang for us, and made us feel comfortable. The only issues I might have are more personal preferences - for example, I felt that there were a few too many stops each day which reduced the amount of time we had for more interesting stops in my opinion such as the Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle, and Dingle. I wish we had at least a few hours to more leisurely stroll around destinations. Also this cannot be helped but there is a lot of time spent sitting on the mini-coach because there is a lot of driving. Had a great time, thank you so much! read more

Booked a daylong bus tour from Edinburgh into the Highlands. The bus was comfortable (and I'm inclined to motion sickness and didn't suffer any), the trip itself was glorious, but the reason I'm writing here was our tour guide Mina.

Three of us went on the 4-Day Skye and West Highlands Tour with Michael as our guide and it was spectacular! Even though it was winter, we were very lucky with the weather, even experiencing a little snow which made some sights even more beautiful. I loved everything about our experience, from the magnificent Kelpies to the beautiful hills of Glencoe to seeing beloved Highland Cows to playing in the Fairy Glen and climbing the Fairy Castle - it was just a perfect Scottish experience. Michael was fabulous and patient - even being flexible with some of our stops. We were also lucky that the other people on our tour were very nice. I would definitely recommend Rabbie's Tour to help make your trip to Scotland unforgettable. Special thank you to Michael! I hope we can travel again with you someday! read more

We took the tour through the Highlands to Loch Ness. Our guide, Brian, was fantastic! He said he'd only started a few days ago but it seemed like he'd been doing it for years. He was super knowledgeable and told great anecdotal stories about landmarks we'd past. He also told historical stories about battles. On the way back he swung by some castle ruins for us (not on the itinerary) and made sure we got to see the Highland coos. I would definitely book with Rabbie's again, well worth the money! read more

Excellent. Our driver for The Outlanders tour was Kevin. He was personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. We weren't bored at all. He told us when we'd have lunch. He informed us of which stops had restrooms and cafes. He took us on a walk at one stop. He told us what to expect when we arrived at different places. Rabbie's was easy to work with. Read the rules before calling and buying tickets. I found it was easier to call for tickets than ordering online since I had a few questions. The meeting place is the Rabbie's Cafe. You can use the bathroom there after checking in at the outside desk, and use it afterward, too. We're looking forward to our next tour to Hadrian's Wall, south of the the city. read more

My husband and I booked the Highlands, Glencoe, and Loch Ness tour from Edinburgh. It's a 12 hour trip over 360 miles and needless to say an ambitious way to see Scotland in a single day. Our driver was Charles IV. He was an exceptional guide and we felt really lucky to be in his group among the other choices. Though the drive was long, he kept it short and delightful by sprinkling in wonderful historical stories (even role playing voices for past kings and supporting characters), pointing out notable landmarks, and playing Scottish music along the way. We are especially pleased with Charles IV because of the way that he handled a really unfortunate situation - a reckless driver on the only road in Glencoe to Loch Ness was involved in an accident, blocking off the singular available route. No longer given the opportunity to spot Nessie, Charles IV thought on his feet and instead showed us other amazing Scottish sites, even to some of his personal favorites that were clearly unknown to other tourism coaches. The Mercedes shuttle was very comfortable - reclining upholstered seats, personal USB charging ports, personal AC vents. I was so at ease that I easily fell asleep on the ride. Overall a wonderful tour with knowledgeable guides and highly recommended! read more

Rabbie's was recommended by a colleague from Edinburgh. This was my first experience with a touring company & Rabbie's left me with a wonderful first impression! Had 3 full days so my plan was to spend a day in Edinburgh & take a tour for one or two days. Visiting in late October, I wasn't sure about the weather but we lucked out as we had mostly sunny days most of my visit. First tour was the "Whisky Tasting Day trip from Edinburgh." We were in the Lowlands. Ewan our guide was amazing! From his engaging stories, local tour soundtrack to his spot on "Sean Connery" imitation to name a few. It's a full day and it goes fast. Two distillery tours (Glengoyne & Deanston) and recommend spending the couple of pounds more for extra tastings (Rabbie's tour gets you a discount). When you get to Loch Lomond/Trossachs Natl Park (Balmaha) skip lunch or make it very quick. Would highly recommend bringing a sandwich/snacks so you can use all of the time to venture out and take the time to find and take in the breathtaking views. Take the trail/walkway by the water path and walk up for the view you won't regret it! The second tour was "Highland Lochs, Glen Whisky tour." Another full day that went fast. Our tour guide Stephen was also amazing. He had many stories to tell as well. A great soundtrack to compliment the ride and views. (Introducing songs and artist and some notes which was a nice touch) The Queens View is amazing as well the Hermitage -walk in the woods. Dunkeld & Pitlochry were both scenic and charming towns. There was one distillery visit to Dewar's/Aberfeldy. The Dewar's tour was excellent and the drive to the distillery was filled with amazing views. Overall, they are professional, engaging & provide a fun & unforgettable experience! As I've just scratched the Scotland surface here, will definitely take more of Rabbie's tours when I return! read more

Truly terrible customer service team with no empathy. Do not book with them because if anything happens they will not refund you even though their policy is "their discretion." I booked this vacation months ago for my husband and my parents. Days before the trip, I found out I was pregnant. I developed severe pregnancy nausea and vomiting about halfway through the trip. I emailed Rabbies that my mom and I would not go since I didn't want to risk being sick the entire trip and having to make the driver pull over. Rabbies said they would not issue a refund because the cost of running the tour is high. My husband and dad still went and said that only one seat was empty in the van so they were able to resell one seat. I have gone back and forth with their customer service people and finally got one seat refunded since they now acknowledge they resold it. They told me too bad on the other one, I should have gotten travel insurance. I then asked if all women should have to buy travel insurance in case they get pregnant right before their vacation. It's sexist, it's wrong. We ended up ending our vacation early to go back to the United States because I became so sick. But according to Rabbies that's not "an extraordinary circumstance as it is the most frequent reason for late cancellation." DO NOT BOOK WITH RABBIES. read more

Very well organized tour. If you want to see the highlands please book through Rabbie's. Renting a car, navigating on the left side of the road, and weaving through mountains sounds like hell on earth. I understand if you're a family of 6 then by all means. Note: Book in advance!!! Even the Chinese tours were full. We enjoyed our 1st tour so much we wanted to do a 2nd but couldn't. Hero Tip: West Highlands, Lochs, & Castle 1 day tour takes you to Doune Castle. They filmed the Game of Thrones Pilot episode there. When the show got successful, the Starks moved to a bigger castle. Hero Tip 2: If you enjoyed yourself TIP YOUR DRIVER. John's face lit up when we tipped him. He deserved it. Don't be a dbag. Even 5 per person pounds goes a long way. Hero Tip 3: Cafe across the street has no line and had similar goods. Rabbie's Cafe was so busy. If line is too long then go across the street. They have fun Italian accents. John our driver was so knowledgeable about Scotland and he has such a fun accent. We're from America so listening to a proper Scottish accent all day was worth the price of the ticket. Bus itself was a small 16 seater Mercedes Benz luxury ride. Can't beat that. Most tours had Giant buses.....I did a giant bus tour once and it was obnoxious. Every stop you had to look for different seats. With a 16 seater everyone had the same seats throughout. Look at each tour, see what's important for you to see, and book it fast. Read description carefully. We had zero interest in the Loch Ness Monster so I made sure we didn't go to Inverness. Just don't read the word "Loch" and assume. Lochs are on most of the highland tours. Only one Loch Ness tour. Price was very comparable to the other tours. So not sure why you'd go anywhere else. Thank you John. Thank you Rabbie. Thank you Scotland. OFF TO GREECE!!! read more
