    Rabbie's excellent tour guide. Great meeting people from other countries. Accommodation was good. I just wish there were more people from the trip sharing the accommodation. As a solo traveller I felt isolated. Apart fro that great itinerary really good tour guide Jim Divine.

    Excellent tour with lots of interesting sites and towns. Ian, our driver and guide was absolutely the best. He knew the history of each location and area, told lots of stories, and had a great sense of humour. He was so knowledgeable and answered all questions asked of him. He made sure we knew where to go, when to meet, and checked us into our accommodations. Give him a raise!!!

    Our driver/tour director Michael was absolutely awesome. Such a knowledgeable young man and ohhhhh so very entertaining. A true Scottish gem he was. Michael took us safely to the most remarkable places in the Highlands, I will never forget this adventure, The B&Bs were so outstanding, you really felt part of the land,, wonderful all of them.

    Excellent Tour overall. Michael our guide was excellent and very entertaining and caring. Good party too - all looked after me with my age and mobility problems. Saw and learned much. Accommodation great except the room in Stornaway was very small and located upstairs without steps. Hospitality excellent. Sad that the Callandish Stones could nt be visited although we did see them from afar. But other sites were great and with only one morning only in rain we saw them at their best.

    The 6 Day Outer Hebrides Tour was simply amazing! We loved every minute of the tour and trip. Our tour guide, Iain Murray was excellent. He was very very knowledgeable of Scottish History and the land. The timing and pacing of the tour was perfect. We felt very safe with his driving. He was helpful, friendly and entertained us with a plethora of local folklore, and historical stories. I would book with this tour guide again in a heartbeat. We were on 3 different tours, (2 with Rabbies), and this tour was by far the best! The group of 16 travellers were all friendly and interested. It was a good mix from all over the world. We continue to keep in touch online and share photos with each other. Iain also grew up on the Island, and took us to local places, sharing with us his knowledge of growing up there with lots of great stories. The Beaches on Harris are among the best in the world. The scenery in both Harris and Lewis are breathtaking and cannot be beat. Rabbies booked our accommodations in various hotels and B&B's. All excellent, with friendly hospitality. This tour with Iain and Rabbies pretty much spoiled us from ever booking with another tour company. Thanks so much to both Iain and Rabbies for such a great trip and lots of fond memories! Cannot wait for another trip to Scotland. Maybe the Orkney's next time! Anne McMullan Pirker

    Bruce was a great guide. He was thoughtful, helpful and regaled us with historical stories about scottish killing, drinking, killing, a bit more drinking and more killing! He was conscious of our safety and always gave good advice, i.e. don't fall off any cliffs! It was a great tour, with a good mix of people from around the world, good accommodation at B&Bs and a bit of The Proclaimers thrown in for good measure!

    This was an excellent tour of the outer Hebrides, along with some stops on the mainland to and from Edinburgh. It was pretty packed with things to see, and we covered a lot of ground. Special thanks to our tour guide Bruce who's very entertaining mix of history, folk tales, and unfailingly amusing commentary on random stuff along the way made the long drives particularly enjoyable. The accommodations arranged by Rabbie's were good, and everywhere had been notified of my dietary issues (coeliac) and provided gf options for breakfasts.

    Highly recommended tour. Our tour guide, Michael, made the experience a million times better with his extensive knowledge, his hilarious stories and his willingness to go above and beyond for his passengers. Michael was brilliant.

    Do you have any tour dates late April, early May 2026 yet?

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

    Asked on June 17th, 2025

    Will we be able to access the Calanais Stone Circle on the July 6-11,2025 tour?

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes I'm afraid the Calanais Standing Stones are closed until Spring 2026 so we won't be able to visit there on our 2025 tours.

  • D

    Dale

    Asked on May 23rd, 2025

    I have just read the brochure on line - sadly I cannot print this. Could I have a copy when I arrive at boarding please. Further, I am sad to see that you do suggest we may not see the Calanais Stone Circle - perhaps the main feature for me to see. I understood they would become available for the 2025 season. Can we at least pass them please for a photo or two?

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      Thanks for this information, I have updated your booking now! Just a reminder you will need to come to the bus station in Edinburgh to begin the tour. The departure time is 08:30am and check in closes at 8:15am.

  • E

    Eric

    Asked on April 2nd, 2025

    Is there a mix of solo travellers for the June 2025 departure dates?

    Group size
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      We have 4 single passengers on the 17th June departure, 1 on the 24th June and none so far on the 29th June. These numbers may change before tour departure.

  • K

    Kerry

    Asked on March 7th, 2025

    If I book this Rabies tour via TourRadar understand you will be booking my accommodation with BnBs and some of the reviews have very negative comments about the quality, so how can you guarantee reasonable quality and location?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      Yes if you book this tour package we will book all your accommodation during the tour, and this is included in the tour cost. We regularly check our accommodation suppliers to make sure they are of a high standard. There are limited options with regard to accommodation in the remote towns in the North of Scotland, so it only B&Bs we are able to book for this tour. We don't tend to get negative feedback regarding the accommodation on this tour, so I wouldn't worry too much.

  • R

    Ryan

    Asked on January 5th, 2025

    Is the tour fully guided or are we dropped off at different places to explore on our own? Also, how much walking is involved.

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      Each driver-guide has different styles of guiding. Our tours have a driver-guide who drives and guides while en route. You'll get free time at stops to explore at your own pace. You can choose where to eat and how to spend time at locations without having to keep up with a guide or other travelers.

    Katrina

    Asked on December 15th, 2024

    Would 6 people justify a private tour basically following this itinerary but with perhaps more pub stops along the way. We are 6 women 60-70 who think we are 50 and we love to party, dance ad sing with locals.

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2024

      Before I can send you a complete proposal and quote, I have a few questions that will help me tailor the tour to your preferences. Would you prefer to arrange your own accommodation for the tour, or would you like me to include it in your package? If you'd like us to handle the accommodation, could you please let me know your preferences regarding room types, star ratings, and any other specific requirements?

    • K

      Katrina

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      A private tour based on your quote would be out of the question for this group. Would you offer choices in each overnight location, ie 3 star - 5 star

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2024

      For our small group tours; you will be able to select either a B&B (ensuite) package, or a Hotel (3-star) package. We don't book 4-star or 5-star hotels on our scheduled tours. We don't offer a choice of property as it will depend on our availability of allocated rooms at the time of booking. For this particular tour - the 6-Day Outer Hebrides & Skye - we only offer B&B packages, due to the limited options for hotels in Ullapool and Skye.
