“It was nice comfortable traveling in the touringcar. We have seen a lot. But I think you have to arrange the eating stop in another way. Westopped at small restaurants who couldn't managed a lot of buses full of tourist. The eating have to be organised better. I would have liked it to look around in the little villages and now we were just driving through.”

Our daughter especially loved the ferry ride and the stunning views of the lochs and castles! Highly recommended for anyone…”

“Was an excellent 3 days trip, great Scotland scenery and the best guide. Rod is an experienced driver, also on the roads and mainly through the Scotts history, great story teller! Has humor and knowledge. We enjoyed the number of objectives per day, a good balance between traveling enjoying the views, stops for a bite, a coffee or and ice-cream in picturesque towns. The overnight in Inverness was ok for enjoying the views and shops in the evening. Definitely recommend!”

Review of Rabbie’s 3-day Skye tour from Edinburgh, with Loch Ness, Glencoe, Portree lodging, guide tips, costs, walking, and practical advice.

“I do not have enough words to describe how amazing this 3-day tour was. Our driver/tour guide Kieran was amazing, the fellow passengers were a great group of people, the B&B that the tour group booked was just the best, and the scenery and animals we got to see, and experience were breath taking (even in the middle of winter). I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone going to Scotland, and especially the Rabbies tour company that gave us 110% amazing service every day. I can't wait to go back to scotland one day so I can do this tour or another with Rabbies company agaim!”

“Do not look at the pictures that are posted because none of them are true. We did not see any castles. We did not see any cows. We did not stop at the carnigorms national Forest. We were rushed to eat lunch. There was no time for actual exploring. Each stop was less than five minutes to pee, and we were told to get directly back to the bus after the boat. We saw very few cows from very far away and drive by so fast could not get a pic, but according to the pictures posted online there are people petting them. I want a refund. This was nothing…”

“It was an interesting experience for us as it’s our first trip to Scotland and the highland glens and lochs were stunning. Kieran our tour guide was engaging and drove well on the narrow countryside roads. He also played a good mix of Celtic music. Doune Castle was the highlight being an Outlander fan and all. Meeting Harry Coos was also a plus point. Will recommend”

“Paul Santa was the best tour guide - The entire experience was magical. Despite unpredictable weather, he came with several backup plans and allowed our small group to adjust the trip to our preferences. As a solo traveler, I felt like part of the whole group. The people of the highlands are so welcoming, kind, and funny. 100% worth it, remember good rain shoes. So much fun - I couldn’t stop saying “Yay!””
