Written by the company

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.

A wonderful tour with Stuart!

We had a wonderful experience on our tour with Stuart. He provided fantastic information on the history and significance of the sites we were seeing, infused with his own personal experiences in the Highlands. It's clear he has a great love of the area and a wealth of knowledge to share. We were never bored! The day moved along at a good pace--always running on time but with plenty of time to take in the sites, grab photos, and explore. It was a long day, but so worthwhile. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the Scottish Highlands and seeing some of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine.

Great day tour of Stonehenge / Cotswolds

We really enjoyed our small bus tour to the Cotswolds and Stonehenge. Our guide, Iggy, was well informed and kept the journey moving with interesting stories of the area and well curated music. I liked how this tour allowed you to explore the areas at your own speed, on your own time. It was well planned out, I felt like I had enough time at each stop and the time on the bus between stops was never too long. Overall, a very enjoyable day!

Nice Tour

Beautiful scenery but it is definitely a very long 12 hour day. Bring snacks and drinks as none are provided by the tour company.

Very bad lodging

I have only good things to say about our Tour Guide Barbara, BUT Rabbie’s made reservation for us at the Pier Hotel at Portree. This place should have been called a Hotel if they do not have any amenities a hotel should have. There is no reception, no phone in the room, this place is run by drunk bartender! Our co-travelers from Canada complained already to Rabbie’s about him. Yes reception is a Bar! This place is not Safe or secured. Everyone can get upstairs to the rooms. Also price they charge for a night is extremely inflated compared to the room standard. Shower is the size of 2’ x 2’.

Hi Wieslawa,

We’re sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the hotel that we booked for you. We always aim to choose the best accommodation for our customers, and we apologise that this was not the case for you.

We're glad to hear though that you have only good things to say about your driver-guide. They are essential to our tours and we hope that Barbara made your trip to the Isle of Skye memorable even if the accommodation wasn't ideal.

If you'd like to discuss it further with our team, don't hesite to contact us through this address: feedback@rabbies.com

Best regards,
Camille

an amazing 3 day tour with Mark!

We had an amazing 3 day tour to the Isle of Skye with Mark. He was an incredible tour guide. He made the tour so authentic and an overall amazing experience. He was so knowledgeable, had humor in his stories, and shared the most interesting facts about Scotland and all the sites we got to see. We also got very lucky with the weather for our tour and had mostly sunny and clear skies. We saw so many amazing places. Mark timed everything perfectly - always made sure we stopped for many photo ops. I never felt like we sat on the bus for an extremely long period of time! I’m a person who is weary of tours and would recommend this tour in a heartbeat!!

Had a great tour today to the Kelpies

Had a great tour today to the Kelpies, Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle with our tour guide, Jim Scot.
He was engaging and knowledgeable about the sites we visited and their history. He shared some of his amazing photography with us. He also gave out many recommendations for other sites to visit, places to eat and whiskeys to try!
Overall a fantastic experience.
Thank you Jim Scot!

Excellent guides and driver Chass

Excellent guides and driver Chass. The town of Dunkeld was delightful, we ended upp having coffee and buying books at the Church fundraising. Beautiful walk in Cairngorm nationalpark. We would have preferred a stop at a ruin of an abbey or a castle and heard a story or two about it instead of going to yet another village on the way back. Particularly since most shops were closed anyway at that time of the day. We passed a ruin on the way that looked really interesting. So that's a suggestion for a wee change of route.

Stonehenge & Cotswald

We took a one day tour of Stonehenge and Cotswald leaving from Bath. The driver/guide, Euan, was friendly and knowledgeable. There was enough time to explore each sight and he pointed out interesting things along the ride.

9 hr Loch Lomond & Stirling Castle

My husband and I did the 9 hr Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle tour today out of Edinburgh. Tour was great despite the Scottish weather and that was thanks to Jim, our amazing guide. He educated us but kept us entertained and engaged at the same time. Would highly recommend this tour and especially Jim.

Excellent Isle of Skye Tour

My husband and I took a 3 day tour of the Isle of Skye starting on May 7,2026. It was our first experience with Rabbie's tours and we were very impressed. Our driver Simon was great. We learned so much more about Scotland's history, culture, and people than we would on other tours. Simon went out of his way to ask what we were interested in seeing and I was thrilled when I asked to see Dunvegan Castle and he agreed. I would definitely recommend this tour and the next time I am in the United Kingdom, I will take another tour with Rabbie's.

Fantastic tour

Fantastic tour! We loved everything: the beautiful locations, the perfect amount of time for each attraction, the guide Jamie was super friendly and enriched the tour with his historical narration, always in good humor. It was unforgettable for us!

I will only tour with Rabbie’s

I will only tour with Rabbie’s. On larger tour busses it feels like you swarm these little towns with people and a simple stop for coffee or restroom takes forever. With Rabbie’s, our tour can be so flexible because the groups are small and simple things like boarding are so much faster. It gives you more time for sightseeing and castle visits.

The tour was exactly what I was hoping…

The tour was exactly what I was hoping for. Our driver Ewen was fantastic! We did the Outlander tour with him. He had knowledge of the show, played the music from the show, and shared so much of Scotland's history with us. I highly recommend him as well as Rabbies! This is the only tour company I will be using!
