Day tour from Edinburgh to Loch Ness

We took the 12 hour tour to Loch Ness with Chris as our guide. He was a knowledgeable and funny storyteller and kept us interested and engaged over the course of a very long ride. He was helpful and friendly and had a very entertaining way of imparting what could have been dry historical facts into riveting and suspenseful tales. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone interested.

Great tours! Loved them!

I went on two Rabbies tours from Aberdeen this week and enjoyed them very much. The drivers were very kind, knowledgable and helpful. They took us to beautiful places. I also liked the live commentary on the bus and the choice of music. I'm glad I booked these tours. We had two wonderful days. I can only recommend you to book Rabbies tours. I've been on several Rabbies tours in the last few years and they were all fantastic. Thank you very much!

I learned a lot!

Our guide Shauna was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned a lot. On the bus she told us a lot about the history of the landscape we were driving through. And we made a lot of stops at interesting places.

We loved The Orkneys. Beautiful islands, and very interesting neo-lithic sites.
