- GLGary· August 8th, 2024What 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.Show moreTrip date: August 2024
- Megan· July 5th, 2024Thank you SO much for organising Bruce as our Tour Specialist. He was amazing. A true wealth of knowledge, attention to the smallest detail and gave us a way to relax with delivering the best locations in the Lake District. Thank you so much Bruce. Megan & Chris.Show moreTrip date: July 2024
- Gregory· June 10th, 2024Our 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.Show moreTrip date: June 2024

Vanessa
Asked on August 30th, 2025We are in UK/Scotland in 2026 for tours and places to visit. We finish our first tour on the 24th August 2026, where we intend to travel to Widnes for family leaving Widnes on the 27th August. We will be travelling to Edinburgh, where we will be staying for approximately 6 days. While there we would like to fit in the 3 day trip from Edinburgh to the Lake District. Do you have any trips that would start from the 28th August? We need to leave Edinburgh on the 2nd September It would be for 3 adult ladies - sisters!
Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written August 2025We have a departure for the 3-day lake District tour on 24th August next year, but not on 28th. Does this dat work for you? If not we have plenty of Scottish tours going from Edinburgh on 28th, my personal recommendation would be our trips to Skye or the Outer Hebrides. Alternatively, you have the option of booking a private tur with us, where departure dates and tour itineraries are more flexible.

Asked on August 12th, 2025Do you have availability those dates?
- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written August 2025
Our 3-day Lake District tour from Edinburgh only runs from April until the end of October, so there are no departures for this tour in November. Additionally, all of our tours would start and end in the same place, so we would be unable to start in Edinburgh and end in Windermere.

Asked on March 17th, 2025What are the check-in times for the tour?
- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written March 2025

Asked on January 8th, 2025We 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?
- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written 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 April 29th, 2024What safety measures are in place on the tour?

Max
Asked on March 7th, 2024Is your tour handicapped accessible? As in wheelchair?
- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written 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.
