    The overall experience was great! Jim Divine, the tour van driver, was a knowledgeable tour guide, with a fun sense of humor.

    The tour was enjoyable however issues arose with each accommodation regarding payment. The driver and accomodation were not informed of prepayment and it lead to some on the spot, potentially embarrassing situations. The driver was not happy about the situation also and made that clear. Better communication in future about such arrangements would make the overall experience more enjoyable, and stress free.

    Great castles, great variety, Jodie was amazing! Loved the smaller group. The first place we stayed was excellent, the second was very outdated (carpet had wrinkles in it, the bed squeaked alot, only one option for food and it was already booked till 8:30 pm when we got there at 5:30 pm)

      Was there no option for senior on this tour when I booked? Can this be applied if so?

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

      There is not a senior price when booking Rabbie's tours through TourRadar; only Adult or Child prices.

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      It has been a very frustrating experience dealing with TourRadar as they did not reply to my questions or send a full itinerary at all, and have charged significantly more than you guys have advertised.

    Asked on July 29th, 2024

    Would there ib a place to store larger luggage until we return toEdinburgh

    Travel Support
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten July 2024

      There are lockers in the Edinburgh Bus Station, though these can be a little pricey. There is a cheaper luggage storage facility in Edinburgh Waverley train station, roughly ten-minutes' walk from the bus station. This is run by the Excess Baggage Company, and is located between Platform 2 and 3, opening from 07:00 each day. I recommend having a wee look at their website for more information.

    Prices for 4-day Scottish Castle tour/person? How do I go about combining this tour with Brendan's 8-day Irish Castles and Manors tour (i.e. logistics of transferring from one tour to another)? Are any overnight stays in actual castles included?

      This tour has been discontinued for 2023, so you are unable to book. In terms of combining different tours, we are unable to book any accommodation for you out with your tour. You are able to do tours back-to-back but you would have to sort any logistics yourself.

    Asked on February 8th, 2022

    Interested in a Rabbie's tour - the four day Scottish Castle Experience. But if I ask them to make the hotel arrangements for me, what would the hotel cancellation provisions be since the hotel changes would not be a part of the tour package?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2022

      If you book on TourRadar, the hotel and the tour are packaged together which means the accommodation is included in the price. You would need to cancel at least 21 days prior to your departure date to be entitled to a full refund. There would be no refund is you cancel less than 21 days prior to departure.

    Wendy

    Asked on December 26th, 2018

    How much luggage can I bring?

    Transport
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2018

      Passengers are restricted to 14kg (31lbs) of luggage per person on our tours. This should be one piece of luggage similar to an airline carry-on bag (approximately 55cm x 45cm x 25cm / 22in x 17in x 10in) plus a small bag for onboard personal items. Unfortunately, Rabbies are unable to store excess luggage, but nearby train and bus stations may have storage facilities for you to use.
