UK Adventure Holiday Reviews
- 6-Day Outer Hebrides & Skye Adventure Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh
The tour exceeded our expectations, the weather was perfect not what we expected !! The tour was varied and several times Micheal stopped to allow us to see something unexpected such as a man cutting peat and a man training a European Eagle Owl. The B&B accomodation was very good however we didn't really like breakfast in the bedroom at Millview although the breakfast was excellent. The Crown was more our type of place as we could go down to the bar after a long day without the walk into town, very good. The whole tour was brilliant and we would not hesitate to book with Rabbies again especially if Micheal could give us the same wonderful weather. As an Ex trainer I know how hard it is to satisfy the needs of all however Micheal did very well and we wish him ongoing success within his role which is still fairly new for him. Martin and Lesley Knowles
