  • 4-Day Isle of Skye & West Highlands Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh reviewer 1
    · September 14th, 2025
    4Day Isle of Skye & West Highlands Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh was extra special thanks to Graeme our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed of every key area, very engaging with the whole group. Due to the weather, he made smart changes to our route without affecting all that we expected to see. Actually, it was even better. It was contagious how much he loves the country and its beauty/history. We all loved him

    William was a great tour guide. He could answer any questions we had,but also explained the history of the areas we visited in an interesting way. Great story teller. Also based on the weather, he would change up our route to take advantage of great scenery in the sunshine

    The 4 day tour was fabulous 👌 a nice relaxed pace with plenty of time to savour the stunning landscapes, castles and villages. Declare, our charming guide entertained us with fables and provided the historical context of the sites we visited.

    The tour and sites were good but the accommodation was old ….broken window and non working radiator in first place, walls so thin I could hear couple’s conversation in B&B #2. When booking Tour Radar/Rabbies offered us the option of booking on our own, but it was not explained (despite queries) what advantages disadvantage, financial or otherwise

    Great tour. Emphasis on natural scenery rather than buildings which I prefer. No rushing and good start and finish times. Bus could do with a mat of some sort for wet shoes. Also cup holders would have been nice

    Our guide, Graeme, was excellent! He shared a ton of history, some good jokes, and kept us entertained the entire time. We were even able to experience some unexpected stops because of his expertise. Definitely will use Rabbie’s again!

    Micheal our driver was a fantastic tour guide and story teller. He went above and beyond to show us around even with road and snow conditions being challenging. The 3 stars is due to the accommodation arrangements Rabbies organised. At Broadford there was only one place open to have dinner that required a long walk on a dark frozen pathway that was quite treacherous and scary. We chose to stay in our room and had tea and toast our first night, then Micheal took us to the co op the next evening to buy supplies for dinner. The seat belts on the bus kept coming undone, and there was nowhere to even put a drink bottle.

All questions
  • E

    Ellen

    Asked on July 29th, 2025

    Would we be able to join your tour on day 2 from there?

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      This tour spends the first night in Fort William, so if you wanted to begin the tour there, you would miss the first day and join the tour on the morning of day 2. Please note we wouldn't be able to alter the tour price should you choose to do this. We have not yet published our tour programme and prices past the end of March 2026. We are hoping to get this sorted in the next few weeks, so please check back with us around then for more information.

  • A

    Allan

    Asked on July 20th, 2025

    Are there opportunities to explore or walk locations during 4 and 5 day tours? We want to get away from crowds and do more than quick photo opportunities.

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      Itineraries include a mix of shorter rest stops and longer lunch and walking breaks. Major attractions get at least an hour for exploration. Stops can be flexible based on group preferences and weather. For fewer crowds, recommend booking in October and later.

  • B

    Bonnie

    Asked on July 18th, 2025

    Could you please clarify how long the traveler would typically be in the van during the trip? Also, can you provide details on the cancellation policy specific to travelers from the USA?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      The bus normally stops around every hour or so, some of these stops will be very brief, just allowing time for a quick photo or to use bathroom facilities. Other stops will be longer, giving you time to explore and stretch your legs. There is a lunch stop on each day where you normally have between 1-2 hours free time to explore and get yourself some food. Passengers have until 21 days before the tour departure to cancel and get a full refund. If the tour is cancelled less than 21 days before departure, we won't be able to refund their booking.

  • C

    Casper

    Asked on April 1st, 2025

    Is smoking permitted during the tour?

    Other
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      Smoking is generally not permitted on the bus or in accommodation rooms; however, there are brief stops where individuals may smoke away from the group.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      Our 2026 schedule (for April onwards) won't be published for a few months yet. We normally finalise our tour schedule in the mid-late summer, so I would advise checking back later on in the year.

  • D

    Dale

    Asked on February 18th, 2025

    Since flights are not offered how do I know where to fly into to get to my hotel/air b&b?

    Flights / Transfers
    Travel Support
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      This tour departs from Edinburgh, so this would be the location that you would need to fly into. We recommend maybe arriving the night before the tour so you can get to the departure point easily and stress-free the next morning. We are able to book the accommodation for you during the tour, but any accommodation before or after, as well as flights and other transport services will need to be booked by you.

    Nadia

    Asked on January 14th, 2025

    I intend to book your 4-day Isle of Skye & Highlands sm Group tour commencing Friday 16/5/2025, but no-where do I see the departure time leaving Edinburgh - Fort William. Also, how long is the driving traveling time each day? I am 80 and well traveled, but it is a concern before I book.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      This tour departs from the Edinburgh Bus Station at 9:30am. You will spend the first night in Fort William, arriving at your accommodation at around 6pm. The bis will stop every hour or so throughout the day, giving you time to explore at your own pqace. Some stops wilkl be very brief, just to get off the bus and stretch your legs or use the bathroom facilities, and others will be longer, like a lunch stop and stops in towns to explore.

      Most places will accept card payments, but having some cash is advisable. There are ATMs available at some stops along the way.

  • S

    Stacey

    Asked on December 11th, 2024

    Could you let them know the best way to move from Dublin to Edinburgh? For the B&B options, does the twin room have two single beds? Does it have a private bathroom? Are the B&B located in a convenient location with easy access to Uber or public transportation?

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2024

      The best way to get from Dublin to Edinburgh would be by plane. There are regular flights operated by Aer Lingus, Easyjet and Ryanair, with a few services a day. Twin rooms are rooms with 2 separate single beds, and all multi-day tours booked through TourRadar will have a private bathroom. We aim to book B&B's within 2km of the overnight locations town centre, but as the overnight locations are quite small towns, they don't typically have access to Uber. Most restaurants and cafes will be within 20 minutes walking distance of the B&B we book for them.

  • K

    Kevin

    Asked on October 25th, 2024

    What should I wear on the tour?

    Other
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten October 2024

      We recommend comfortable clothing and suitable footwear for walking. Scotland's weather can change quickly, so bring layered options and waterproof clothing.
