Jim was a fantastic tour guide

Jim was a fantastic tour guide! He was informative yet fun/funny at the same time. My son and I had a great experience seeing the highlands and all that it has to offer in a 12-hour tour. Highly recommend the experience to all!

Our tour Guide Ryan was incredible and deserves a raise!

We went with a day tour to Skye from Inverness. It was my favorite part about our 12 day travels. Ryan was our tour guide and he did a phenomenal job. We was funny, informative and knowledgeable. We had my son, who is 8, along with the tour. Rabbies offered a booster seat which was one less thing I had to think about. Ryan was so patience with our 8 year old and our other group member that had mobility issues. Never once did he rush her as we got on and off the bus. Our group became Clanderson. I would go on another Rabbies tour if I get the chance again!

The Best of Spain and Portugal

Our effervescent guide provided a great balance of historical, geographical and epicurean information helping make the tour a delight. Both of our drivers were very professional and friendly. This was my third Rabbies tour and the company provides excellent service. I’d love to see a Rabbies tour in Italy and Greece. My only caveat would be to inform clients that optional tours must be paid in cash to alert people they will need more funds. The tasting tours were well worth the price even for a non- drinker and the short cruise of the Douro valley is not to be missed. The

I booked the Rabbies one day tour covering Loch Lomond, Stirling onv16th October 2025. It was a wonderful experience starting from the time of booking where chat with tour operators helped in picking the right tour and thereafter Rogers who was operating the bus. Rogers provided a good commentary, smooth driving, gave us enough time to visit the places and finally dropped us on time. Thank you Rogers and God bless you.

An Affordable Tour That Gave Us The Royal Treatment

Rabbie's comforable mini-bus was perfect for our 16 person tour, which made for a more personal group experience. While there is a set itinerary, our guide gave our group the option to make small, spontaneous detours, taking us off the beaten path and giving us the opportunity to see some true Scottish gems.
Our guide, Sinclair, was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Scottish history and local information. He has a wonderful sense of humor and is a great storyteller. The landfall of storm Amy forced us to take a few detours, but Sincair handled it like a champion, and he did not let a few closed roads and alternate routes affect our experience. He did let us know that our safety was always his number one concern. We had ample time to explore the several picturesque stops on our tour, including lunch, photo opportunities, lunch, and bathrooms.

Chasing Waterfalls

Dave gave the ultimate 2 day tour of the highlands. He is extremely knowledgeable, witty, and knows his whisky.
While in glencoe, my husband and I mentioned we had been there before and said we visited a waterfall not too far away. Dave said that waterfall didn’t have the best parking for our vehicle but he knew a better one further up the road. He added this stop and it exceeded all expectations.
We highly recommend this 2 day tour and know that Dave will make anyone’s experience top notch!

We were hugely excited for our tour to…

We were hugely excited for our tour to the Western Highlands, and Alan delivered on every count. He was vastly knowledgeable in Scottish history, geography and lore, and provided us with opportunities to see and take pictures of all the highlights, while also keeping the time perfectly (never lost a ferry!), expertly making his way through single-track roads, all the while playing a stream of bangers on the bus radio. The man is clearly a multitasker.
We loved the 4-day itinerary going through Glencoe, the Isles of Mull, Iona and Staffa and then back through Loch Lomond. It gave us the opportunity to see a lot in a short time. We were also very lucky to have such great weather even in mid-to-late October.
Overall, Rabbie's has provided great value for the price and gave us a sense of security on our tour.

A Must do for Outlander Fans!

Our driver Kelly was awesome. Very passionate about Outlander and very knowledgeable about history. The stops were perfectly planned regarding time and locations.
The only issue was that the seats were rather narrow on the bus.
