Written by the company

Rabbie’s small group tours are driven by curiosity and guided by storytellers. We find the stories that go deeper and live longer in travellers' minds. On our journeys, everyone’s hungry for the little-known or just-happened, and we can go after them: no track too small, too trodden or obscure. No need for scripts, because our guides know places like the back of their hand.

We’ll Never See Argyll [& Etc.] in the Same Light Twice

This tour rounded out a three-week adventure visiting various castles and cathedrals around the UK and learning about the ancient Christianity rooted in and grown up out of these sites; taking this tour up through the Scottish Highlands could not have been a more perfect ending to this exceptional study-abroad trip, especially with Kieran as our guide. From the first hello, he was witty and welcoming, and he continued to establish a comfortable environment to learn from through his engaging stories, excellent music que, and clear answers to our questions. I also appreciated how he wove in his own personal stories of the landscape into his teachings. He was accommodating when we needed to make an extra stop, and was often lenient to allow us a few minutes more than the itinerary called for at the most beautiful places - even though it did mean we got back later than expected (thanks for your patience, Kieran!). I fell in love with the landscape, and I do hope to be back again one day and explore more, especially his recommendation to the Isle of Skye! Though I know that even if I do come back to these same hills, I will not see this landscape in the same light twice without the wonderful storytelling of Kieran. Much gratitude to him and to all who made this happen behind the scenes. If you want a comprehensive and engaging introduction to this magical place (all while being able to look out the window like a little child mesmerized by the passing scenes), look no further than a Rabbie's tour, and ask for Kieran! You shall not be disappointed!

Fun Tour

The tour was fun and a great way to explore Scotland outside of Edinburgh. Our tour guide, Cameron was very nice and knowledgeable. I would love to participate in another tour too.

Luggage Requirements

My husband and I took the 8 day Whiskey Tour to the islands on the northwest coast of Scotland, leaving on June 19. The tour was marvelous, and our tour guides, Declan and Robbie were great. They delivered us to our sites on time and graciously answered our questions. We did have a bit of a conundrum getting on our tour bus at the Edinburgh bus station, though. We had also taken one of your tours in Ireland a couple of years ago and noticed some people did not follow the rules about the size of the baggage so we packed in two 24" suitcases, 2" over the limit. At the bus station the two Rabies' employees informed us that we could not get on the bus and that we would have to cancel our tour. The female (whose name I don't remember) was especially abrasive. We found her attitude and people skills out of line with the values of your company. In the end your employees gave us two zippered bags to use as "suitcases." We had to pay to store our suitcases in lockers at the bus station, we bought two new suitcases at one of our stops. After we hooked up with the second tour group, we noticed that there were suitcases larger than 22". This was all a minor, slightly expensive inconvenience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but we wish that the suitcase requirement applied to all travelers. All that aside--we would travel with you again.
Thanks, Pamela and Alan Campbell

Outlander tour was incredible

We did the Outlander experience and it was 10 out of 10! We took our 6 year old daughter and she loved the castles and exploring as much as my husband and I enjoyed it. Our tour guide Neil was knowledgeable, funny and made the experience incredible for all 3 of us. It was the most memorable day. I would definitely recommend the tour and would book through Rabbies again.

Oxford and Cotswolds with Mark

We chose the Oxford and Cotswolds' tour from London on the 11th of July.
Our driver, Mark, was really professional and no short of anecdotes to share, with a perfect amount of humour.
The journey was great and we had enough time in each of the stops (Burford, Bibury and Oxford). We would not hesitate to book another tour in the future.

Rabbie's doesn't disappoint!

As always, Rabbie's tours DO NOT disappoint. Our group of four attended the Glen Coe, Highlands, Loch Ness tour and it was amazing! The scenery was absolutely majestic and we had a beautiful, sunny day. Our tour guide, Declan, was terrific, even allowing us to stop and pet some Highland cows. I can't say enough good things about Rabbie's tours.

We took a day tour from Bath to Oxford and Cotswolds. It was very convenience. The tour guide/ driver was very polite, helpful and knowledgable as well as drove safely. The van was new and clean. The program was good, gave enough time to explore. I would recommend this tour operator and will definitely use it again next time.

What an amazing tour

What an amazing tour! Definitely filled my bucket list with a thorough, historical, and or course breathtakingly scenic journey to the Isle of Skye and Eileen Donan castle!
