    Michael is a great guide and driver. Very important on the narrow roads of the highlands. With frequent and engaging stops, we never sat on the bus for long periods at a time. The stories supported the great views. Hotels were good. The trip far exceeded my expectations!

    The bus can be improved by putting cup holders on seats, and netting on top shelve. We had lots of things fall off shelve. I liked the tour but would love more history of the country, the guide was good but could be better. Over all good tour

    The itinerary was very good. The weather was on again, off again, which of course the tour company can not control. The accommodations overall were very good. I have not taken to many tours, but the experienced tour guide was excellent.

    We enjoyed he tour a lot more than we expects. Our tour guide (Chris Rockport) made the trip extra fun and he was very Knowable. Scotland is a beautiful country and everything was very clean. We also enjoyed all the hotels we stayed. Service was great.

    Alan was a great tourist guide, he knew so much and made everything interesting and captivating. I think personally a few stops were not of most interest but the overall experience was great. We spend quite some time sitting down but mostly because there’s so much area to cover.

    This tour was amazing! I would enthusiastically recommend it. The entire process from making reservations to getting on the bus went smoothly. Prior to the trip my questions were answered fully in a timely manner. From the moment I meant Gillian, our tour guide, her enthusiasm and professionalism was apparent. Gill made our trip really special. The weather and scenery were spectacular, but it was all of the special attention that Gill brought that made our trip truly memorable. Her knowledge of the geology, history, and culture of the area which she shared while driving down incredibly narrow winding roads brought a depth to our experience in the moment. Gill was intimately familiar with the itnerary and added special stops for viewing and photography that guaranteed we would take home a special feeling for Scotland in our hearts. She even made a special side trip to view the bridge over Glenfinnan Pass, at the request of a Harry Potter fan and seconded by all in the group, to see the setting for the Hogwart Express! In summary, in my decades of travel I have not had a more enthusiastic, knowledgable, considerate guide.

    I’d never done a tour like this, so I have nothing to compare it with, but I do know I had a great time! Grant, our guide, was excellent. Not only is he knowledgeable, but also his love for the land is really contagious. The places we visited were all gorgeous, accommodations were comfortable enough and everything went on without a hic. Completely recommend this tour!

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      The cost of the tour will vary depending on the month you travel. The cost can be found on the TourRadar page when you check for availability. As a solo traveller, a single supplement will be automatically applied as you proceed through the booking on TourRadar. If you have any specific travel dates in mind, I would be happy to check the cost for you as well.

    Benjamin

    Asked on November 2nd, 2024

    Does the price include Accommodations. If so, can you have three adults in one room

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten November 2024

      The price does indeed include accommodation. You can request three adults in one room however it all depends on the availability of our suppliers because a "family" room which allows three people in one room is quite rare. If we can then great but if not it'll be 1x single and 1x double or twin room.

  • O

    Oliver

    Asked on August 10th, 2024

    Are twin beds available in a room for two persons?

    Accommodation
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

      Twin rooms are indeed available. You should be able to select a twin room option when you book the tour; this is a room with two single beds.

    Asked on February 18th, 2024

    Do you stop at the Glenfinnan viaduct between Fort William and Plockton/Balmacara? Is it possible to add on another of your tours to the end of this one, the 3-Day Lewis, Harris and the Outer Hebrides Small Group Tour from Inverness?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2024

      A visit to the Glenfinnan Viaduct is not included in the itinerary for this tour. We do go past the area but there is not a stop there. The only tour we have that visits Glenfinnan is our 4-day Ile of Skye & West Highlands tour. We are unable to combine these 2 tours as part of your package, but you are able to just book it separately if the dates match up.

      Charles

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Can I confirm availability on Isle of Skye & West Highlands 4 day tour departing on Monday 22nd April for 2 Adults in a twin room, and then the Mull & Iona 3 day tour on Friday 26th April? Can you confirm if these dates work and there is availability?

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2024

      We do have the availability that you have requested, though currently only 4 seats left on the 4-day Skye tour for 22nd April. On return to Edinburgh on Thursday evening you will be able to catch a train from Edinburgh Waverley train station to Glasgow Queen Street. We do not provide a transfer option between cities as public transport is pretty good between these 2 cities.
