    We really enjoyed our trip to the outer Hebrides. Our guide Keith was personable, knowledgeable and amusing. The scenery was spectacular and we were lucky to have perfect weather the whole trip. The coach was comfortable and the a/c was great. All in all would book again with Rabie's.

    Good size group. Great driver/guide. Excellent narration - just the right amount and tone. Speyburn was a good stop - keep it. Excellent hotels. Great stops. Good pacing. Could have done with one more distillery tour.

    Asked on May 10th, 2024

    Are there extra fees for a single traveler

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten May 2024

      I can see from your quote you are set up as a solo passenger, therefore the price you have been quoted already includes the single single supplement so there are no extra fees. Our special 25% discount sale ends tomorrow, saving you $1348.
