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.

Great Isle of Skye Tour!

Trevor was a great guide...lots of interesting information about Scotland in general and where we traveled on our tour in particular.

The arranged accommodations were excellent (Dunborrodale B&B). I appreciated that our 3 days were optimized (8:30am start, on the 1st day, 7:30pm return on the 3rd day) so it felt like a longer tour (in a good way)!

The sites visited were lovely and our time there didn't feel rushed (and visiting some Highland Coos on the last day was a wonderful treat!).

Skye was truly amazing...and getting to go on the small ferry back to the mainland was a unique and very special experience.

I will definitely look to Rabbie's again for touring in Scotland!

Only thing missing from this tour was

Only thing missing from this tour was, more time. Wonderful day! I wanted to keep going. Helen was great! She answered all of my 100 questions and everyone else’s who had questions. She gave us tips on where to eat and shop and even stay the next time I see Scotland again, and I will. Take a tour with Rabbies (not rabies lol) it was a great day. Scotland is beautiful.

Just completed my seventh tour with…

Just completed my seventh tour with Rabbie’s which indicates the confidence I have in their quality of service. Never disappointed. Most recently went to Devon and Cornwall with guide David. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. It was interesting to hear his stories. David seemed very calm and relaxed through the whole 5 days which added a calm environment to the experience. Thanks Rabbie’s. Hope to see you again.

Enjoyed thoroughly our tour of the Highlands with Mac!

Mac was out tour guide and he was fantastic! Fascinating and fun stories during a full day of driving and stops, scenery and sites visited were great. The added Loch Ness boat trip was a bit touristy but fun as well. The bus was very comfortable for a long day trip.

An unforgettable Islay adventure with Rabbie’s and Billy

Our group of nine friends travelled with Rabbie’s to Islay during week 20, and the experience exceeded all expectations.

A huge part of that was our guide, Billy. From the very beginning, he made the trip feel like our journey rather than a standard tour. His balance between the planned destinations and the extra stops he added along the way was excellent, giving us the chance to experience places we otherwise would have missed.

Managing nine whisky-loving forty-year-olds can't be the easiest task, but Billy handled it with incredible patience, good humour, and genuine care. He clearly knows Scotland inside and out, but what impressed us most was the heart he put into making sure everyone had a memorable experience.

The pacing of the tour was spot on, the scenery was breathtaking, and the overall organisation by Rabbie’s was outstanding.

If we return to Scotland—and I sincerely hope we do—Rabbie’s will absolutely be at the top of our list again.

Thank you, Billy, and thank you Rabbie’s for helping create memories that will stay with us for a very long time.

Amazing 5 days in Devon&Cornwall

What a fantastic 5-day tour! Every day was filled with wonderful places, great experiences, and perfectly organized activities. Our guide Nic was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to share interesting insights and local stories. The whole trip exceeded my expectations from start to finish. I’m already looking forward to booking my next adventure with Rabbie's!

Lizzie our tour guide was amazing

Lizzie our tour guide was amazing, she made the journey so much fun. Her knowledge, stories telling skills and humour kept us captivated throughout.
She was warm, welcoming and made us feel right at home on the tour bus.
I was even given a can of Iron Bru (Scotlands famous drink) and sang happy birthday by the passengers on the bus as a birthday surprise!
The whole experienced was well planned and we were well informed on every stop, location and history of the area.
I learned so much about Scottish history from the tour. I would highly recommended
The Scottish highlands are breathtaking and all the stops were perfect to appreciate the beauty of the Highlands.

Amazing Kirkwall tour

The guide was a local and was very knowledgeable about the area including the history. I felt like it was an immersive experience for the area. We were able to see all types of things, not just the big Neolithic sites. Bus was comfortable and everything was run very efficiently. We will be back next year!

We were lucky enough to visit the…Scottish Highlands.

We were lucky enough to visit the Scottish Highlands on a spectacularly beautiful and clear one-day tour. Jimmy, our driver, enhanced our experience thoroughly with historic anecdotes, jokes, etymology, and an appropriately beautiful soundtrack. The van was comfortable and we were happy to have fellow passengers who abided by the meetup times so we could all enjoy as much of this region as possible in one quick circle.

Unforgettable experience

What a memorable experience! Jim Scott provided an unforgettable tour of the Highlands. He kept the entire group entertained and on-time during our trip north. This was the highlight of our 7-day trip to the UK!

Italy's Northern Jewels. Venice & the Dolomites

This is a six day tour of Northern Italy, departing from and returning to Milan. We visited Peschiera del Garda on Lake Garda, Verona, Venice (where we stayed two nights), the Dolomites (staying two nights in Cortina), Trento (one night) and Brescia, before returning to Milan. I wasn't sure what to expect but was blown away by the places, the sights, the scenery, the food and our fellow travellers. What made the trip extra special was our tour manager Cristina who organised so many wonderful experiences for us, including a cable car ride at Passo Pordoi onto the top of the world (or so it seemed), a walking tour in Venice which showed us parts of the city less frequented by tourists, a gondola ride and a visit to Castel del Buonconsiglio in Trento. Plus she tolerated my sense of humour.
Our accommodation was very good to excellent, including a hotel on the Grand Canal in Venice (and breakfast was included). I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in being introduced to a part of Italy that is less well known but its stunningly beautiful.
