Great tour to Loch Ness and Glencoe

A great tour to Loch Ness and Glencoe. A long drive but so worth it. Our guide Rhys gave lots of information about the history, played Scottish music and had a great sense of humour. He also made sure to stop for photo opportunities several times. Wonderful day!

The Taste of Skye tour

The Taste of Skye tour was excellent. Our tour guide/driver Roger shared stories, history and folklore to keep us engaged and entertained as he took us through the winding roads, steep climbs and sights of Scotland. Our evenings at Hame on Skye were relaxing with excellent meals, and our whiskey tour at Talisker was delightful. We would highly recommend this experience.

Not inspiring

Whitby and Robin hood bay were good the other stops where not. The information given by the driver was not all factually correct and more research could have been done before hand.

Hi Debra,

Thanks for your review! Though I'm glad you enjoyed Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, I'm sorry that the overall tour didn't quite live up to your expectations.

Our tour guiding and storytelling are a big part of the Rabbie's experience, so it's disappointing to hear that the commentary didn't feel accurate or well thought through.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. As this is a relatively new tour for us, your honest feedback is especially valuable and will help us continue to improve. Thank you again, and we hope we'll have the chance to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future.

Best wishes,

Aimee

Wonderful trip

Wonderful trip! We really enjoyed John’s extensive knowledge about Irish history and the Ring of Kerry. We really
Loved that it was a small group which allowed getting around easier and more personal.

the driver was unprofessional and not safe at all, and he talked the whole 12 hours non stop

the driver was un professional at all, first thing, I didn't feel safe with his driving, he drove very fast way over the speed limit, plus he didn't give us one minute of silence, he talked the whole 12 hours in stories not related to the trip. myself and my wife in a point decided to leave the whole trip because we couldn't stand his voice, unfortunately we were far from Edinburgh, and not easy to manage our return alone. I will not return back for another trip with a chance to face this driver again.

Hi Math,

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback.

We are truly concerned to hear about your experience with the driver's conduct and driving. We understand how unsettling it must have been to feel unsafe and to have the journey impacted by constant conversation.

I have also reviewed our driving data and found no indications of speeding on that day. However, I recognise that the Scottish Highland roads can be quite winding, and I believe it is always important to exercise caution while driving to ensure that all guests feel safe and comfortable on board.

Neverthless, we are taking your comments seriously and will address these issues internally to prevent similar occurrences.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we'd like to look into offering you a compensation for the disappointement. I'm inviting you to contact us directly at feedback@rabbies.com so we can find a suitable resolution for you.

All the best,
Camille

Tour to Devon and Cornwall

The small group was great and the organisation was excellent. The itinerary was busy but not too busy and was just what we wanted. Jack our guide had great knowledge and was personable and friendly. All together a great tour to Devon and Cornwall.

This was awhile back when we did our tour with Rabbies to the Isle of Skye and it was so memorable I'm still thinking about it! Fabulous company, our guide was amazing and listening to Sing me A Song across that bridge on his playlist was magical. So many special moments with a Scottish guide. Thank ya'll for such an amazing three days!!!

My rating refers to our first tour…

My rating refers to our first tour guide only. I was on tour from London to Edinburgh. The first tour guide took us from London to Keswick. Russell was his name. He appeared to want to have as little to do with us, the clients, as possible. For instance when we visited Conwy Wales, he gave us very little time. We had to rush back to be at our rooms at 5:00. To do what?! After that long drive there?! Absolutely unacceptable. After 5 he disappeared for the evening. In the Rabbie itinerary it's mentioned we have time for sightseeing and lunch. Not one stop did we have time for both. He gave us his telephone number but said not to call after hours!! So we're in a foreign country with no one we can comfortably reach out to? Also, I think even if I was on the ground, he wouldn't lift a finger to help me. He had lots of info but talked so fast, it was difficult to understand what he was talking about. He didn'tcare if we understood or not. He didn't consider we were from different countries and needed to adjust to his accent. Our second tour guide from Keswick to Edinburgh, Stevie, was the complete opposite. He was genuinely concerned over our comfort and safety. He explained history in a humorous and easy to understand manner. He made the tour enjoyable. If it wasn't for him, I'd say the tour was awful. I'd give Stevie 5 stars.

Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, Kathryn.

I'm very sorry to hear that parts of your experience didn't meet your expectations. Our guides are expected to be approachable, caring and committed to helping guests have the best possible experience, so it's disappointing to learn that you felt unsupported and disconnected during the first part of your tour. Our guides share a great deal of information throughout the journey, and it's important that guests can engage with and enjoy the stories being told.

I also regret that you felt rushed during some of the stops. While our itineraries and timings are planned in advance for operational reasons rather than by the individual guide, I know how frustrating it can be when there isn't enough time to fully enjoy a destination. Your comments have been noted, and we'll review the timings on this tour.

Regarding out-of-hours contact, there are legal restrictions on the number of hours our guides can work, which means they aren't available outside their scheduled duty hours. Rabbie's Head Office remains the main point of contact for guests who require assistance outside those times. We're sorry if this left you feeling unsupported.

That said, we're delighted to hear that Stevie helped turn your experience around. It's wonderful to know that his friendly approach, concern for guest comfort and safety, and engaging storytelling made such a positive impression.

Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us understand what's working well and where we need to improve, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Best wishes,

Aimee

People

People. Starting with our driver guide. She was very informative and fun. Her stories had us laughing all the time. This was my first time touring with a European tour company. I like small groups - the others on the tour were friendly and everyone got along. My only negative, there was so much to see and not enough time. I would have liked more time in the to explore the Cotswolds. And often needed to choose between sitting down for an enjoyable lunch and seeing the sights. Not sure how to remedy this without leaving out places that what were worth seeing.

Great Speyside Whisky 3 day tour with…

Great Speyside Whisky 3 day tour with Rabbies! What a convenient way to see the area, appreciate the sights and landscape, and taste some great whisky. I particularly enjoyed the unusual tastings of the chocolate and whisky pairing at Dalwhinnie and the blind tasting at Cardhu. Comparing a newer establishment like Lindores with older ones was also very interesting. Our tour guide worked in two additional stops on the last day on the way back to Edinburgh which was very fun, plus found us Hairy Coo's to see. The tour includes 3 distillery tours which might be a bit repetitive by the third one. The lunch stops on the first two days were very quaint towns to explore and get a bite to eat; the last day the stop was at Pitlochry which was very crowded but our driver recommended where to get single malt whisky ice cream which was divine. Rabbies multi-day tours are perfect for those of us that don't want to drive, but really get out and explore the countryside. The majority of our tour stayed in the Speyside Hotel which was nice accommodation and their restaurant serves a wonderful STP (sticky toffee pudding).

He kept a comfortable schedule and we felt like we saw way more than we were expecting to see. We plan on visiting again and make sure to have another tour set up!

Great tour for older teens traveling

My 17-year old daughter and a friend went on a Rabbie's Highlands day tour from Glasgow while the adults were busy at a conference. They came home raving about their guide, James D!

Isle of Skye tour with Ryan

We had a great time on the Isle of Skye tour with Ryan. Knowledgeable; great stories; wonderful personality and mad driving skills!
Even took his recommendation of where to go for dinner after the tour and it was excellent.
