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.

Bath Day trip

This was a very enjoyable day trip from Bath. The balance with 2 stone stops and 2 Cotswold stops was perfect. We had a very fun and knowledgeable guide that added a lot of educational facts and helped make it a perfect day.

Outlander W/Rich

Our tour guide Rich was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! We felt safe and well taken care of all day. He had great recommendations in each place, and overall the tour was a good balance of guided tours and self-guided wanderings. Highly recommend!

Excellent driver/guide

Our driver/guide was provided a very good tour and is an excellent driver of the single-land road through the Highlands. He provided a great mix of cultural history as well as personal experience about the area and stops on the tour.
Being a tour of the Highlands, there's no guarantee of the views or weather, but our driver made the most of when there was a place to stop and get a picture. Although not advertised as part of the tour, it was a nice bonus that he knew where we could get a closeup of some Highland Coos for a picture.

Fun day out

Fun day out, great stops. New driver Rachel is going to be great, just needs to know she doesn’t have to talk the entire drive into Edinburgh, beginner nerves? Folks at that point tend to be talking among themselves, dinner plans, etc. Love Rabbies, do tours every visit👍

I found the trip a bit rushed up

I found the trip a bit rushed up. Hardly 5 minutes at the old man of Storr which is probably the main attraction of the tour. Lunch was too long.

Hi Mercedes,

We’re sorry to hear that you are disappointed in the time spent at the Old Man of Storr.

This is a planned photostop on this tour, along with Kilt Rock.

We aim to have the right balance of time at different stops allowing for short photo stops and more time to explore key destinations in depths.

Lunch was a longer stop as Portree is the main village in Skye and that left time for people to grab a bite and discover the village as well. Sorry the balance of time didn't feel right for you.

Kind regards,
Camille

Great tours recommended

We did two tours with Rabbie's, one for Loch Ness and the other for Loch Lomond. Both tours were very enjoyable and we're very glad we did them. Alex D was very personable and entertaining on the Loch Ness tour. You can tell he's been doing this for a little while. The Loch Lomond tour was good but you could tell Duncan was newer to this tour. Both tours provided a great commentary, history and information. I would easily book another tour through this company. I love that they stopped for us to see the Harry Coos. I think this is one of our highlights. I would have appreciated more time in Castle Stirling which was one of the stops I was looking forward to and less time at the two previous stops which we did not find as enjoyable. Loch Ness was great. We took the boat ride which was nice but would have liked a little additional time, say 15 minutes to look around before having to get back on the bus. That stop felt a little rushed as well. Overall, great tours. Thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to possibly taking another tour with them in the future.

A wonderful daytrip

Our guide and driver John was great. He was eloquent, flexible, responding to our wishes and gave us lots of background information.
The landscape is awesome and worth visiting. We can really recommend this trip as an alternative to the Ring of Kerry.

Isle of Wight: Go see !

This 3-day-trip from London took us first to Portsmouth where we had time to explore the impressing harbour. Great silhuette and a stunning history! Then we could breath the fresh sea breeze on the ferry and on the Isle of Wight we had different nice stops before we reached the village Shanklin at the coast where we had our accomodations. I stayed in a lovely and very clean little guesthouse. All destinations on the isle were well chosen and our tourguide Jack even drove us to more places he knew about. I loved his way of connecting with his passengers. He showed great humour and contributed a lot to the good atmosphere within the group. You can see that he loves his job. We got to know a lot about the history of the all places we visited or drove through. The landscape of The Needles with white chalk cliffs and Osborne House were my favourites on the Isle of Wight and the nice beaches, the rolling hills, the little villages with thatched roofed houses were so beautiful as well. You could step back in time. On our way back to London we visited Winchester (recommendations: Cathedral, Great Hall) and Runnymede ( Magna Carta!). As an unexpected bonus we passed by Ascot and Windsor Castle. I highly recommend this tour and Rabbie's.

Road works and traffic delayed our…

Road works and traffic delayed our arrival. I was constantly calling your office and we missed the tour by 5 minutes. At 75 it’s difficult to run fast.
Wouldn’t book us for next day until after 3. No seats left. Managed to put us on the next trip to the highlands. However when waiting for the coach I heard it’s ok for your driver to arrive late but not passengers! Since Rabbies is now just a commercial making money, I doubt if I would recommend them . My disappointment is off the scale.l live 11 miles outside Edinburgh and had left 1 and a half hours to get into the centre, so I should of had enough time.Could you not have a pick up some where on the outskirts with a car park???

Hi Maggie,

We're sorry to hear that you missed your tour due to traffic and road works.

Our tours always depart on time to ensure the smooth running of the day. We were alble to put you on a different tour, which always depends on availability, and we understand that this can be disappointing.

Thank you for the suggestion, this is not something that we offer at present as a main departure point in the heart of the city means we can be on route to the sights and attractions quicker.

Best regards,
Camille

1 Day Outlander Tour with Mary Margaret

We signed up with the 1 Day Outlander tour after another tour company canceled on us. The pick up location was easy to find, check in process is very easy. Our driver, Mary Margaret, was very friendly, knowledgeable about history and locations. She was the type of tour guide that answer questions, talked about the area while we drove. She didn't talk the entire time and that was perfect. She had a playlist of music that she timed perfectly for our stops. I would recommend this tour to family and friends.
