    What a fantastic tour I had. Ross Hutton was my first driver/guide. His knowledge of Scotland was shared throughout the tour. He had great stories and a wonderful eye for photography. There were no questions asked that he was not able to answer. It was obvious how much he loves his homeland. Billy Muir took over the second part of the tour. He too has a vast knowledge of his country. His folk stories were great. Both men were very good drivers making it enjoyable to be along for the ride. It was too bad that the weather shortened the tour but it didn’t affect the overall experience. I would not hesitate to book with you again as long as Rabbie’s was available in the area I am traveling to.

  • D

    Dave

    Asked on January 16th, 2025

    We will need a cheap motel/hotel/hostel close (walking distance) to the Edinburgh Bus Station Pick Up point for June 12 and June 24. We don't want a luxury place, just a place to crash the night before and after the tour.

    Accommodation
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      I recommend finding one by the pick up location in Edinburgh Bus Station, St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, EH1 3DQ. June is summer in Scotland, so it was much warmer if you prefer that! It's one of the most popular times to visit the area.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      Here are some accommodation that I found that are affordable and walking distance to the bus station: St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh Backpackers, Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate.
