    What A Really Great Tour! We chose Rabbie's Tour's three day excursion to the Lake District and it fully lived up expectations and then some. The itinerary, the stops, onboard narration, accommodation and overall quality of the tour was truly exceptional. All this being said, the best part was the obvious enthusiasm and knowledge imparted by Roger, our Scottish guide, who offered interesting anecdotes at each stop and generally waxed lyrical about the region with a clear passion for what we are experiencing as we made our way through this stunning part of the UK. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to those travellers seeking a bespoke tour that offers such great value for all that it delivers.

    Our bus was half empty. A smaller vehicle for this group would have made the small towns more accessable which would improve the experience rather than a driveby. More interesting or researched guide material would also improve the experience.

    Asked on January 8th, 2025

    We are 2 seniors interested in the 3 day Lake Dist tour from Edinburgh. We want to know if we can be dropped off at Penrith Railway Station to catch the Avanti train. What will the trip cost in August with 2 single rooms?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      You are not able to be dropped off at Penrith train station on the final day since the tour route does not pass through. One option is to stay in Keswick and catch a train towards London from there. The cost of this tour in August would be £521.25 per person for the Single B&B option, so £1042.50 in total. We won't be able to alter the tour price if you decide to leave early.

    Asked on March 7th, 2024

    Is your tour handicapped accessible? As in wheelchair?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten March 2024

      I am afraid our vehicles are not wheelchair accessible. Entry and exit from the mini-coaches is via the front left passenger door. There are three steps up into the coach - each 150mm in height. There are grab handles on both sides, the step edges are clearly marked and the treads are non-slip. Our buses are not wheelchair accessible, however we have large luggage compartments which may easily take a folding wheelchair or walking frame. Our staff are not able to offer physical assistance when boarding or disembarking from the buses or at any point during the tour. Guests should be comfortable getting on and off the bus on their own or with the assistance of a travelling companion.

      We don't offer any tours that depart from Liverpool. Our departure points in England are Manchester, Bristol, Bath and London. We do offer tours of the Cotswolds from both Bath and London, but you would need to report to the departure city to begin the tour.
