Great experience with Rabbies. Had a great 3-days tour with Ian who has been terrific guide and shared with us many fun stories and legends about the highlands and history of Scotland in general. I had the tour in December during the low season so It was very much enjoyable to be in a small group and get to know other travelers from United States and Asia.

Jim Divine was our guide on the tour, and he was amazing! His knowledge of the area, the history and the landscapes made the trip spectacular. Along with all his small touches that made it extra special.

The trip itself was filled with astonishing views that just kept coming. We stopped often for some photograph opportunities or a little bit of shopping which was great to break up the driving.

I finished the trip feeling like I had really been immersed in Scotland for 3 days. 100% would recommend!!

The tour was made exceptional by Michael. He went out of his way to ensure everyone got to do / see what they wanted on the tour. He actively called places and changed plans to suit the group. Couldn’t have asked for a better bloke to lead the group.

Skye is definitely worth making the trek out to.

Rabbies committing to run the tour no matter how few people booked is something they clearly live up to as there were only 3 on our bus! You can book with confidence.

Took this tour with my friend and we had the best time! It was the highlight of of UK trip!

Roger was a fantastic tour guide. He was great at keeping the time and making sure we stayed on track. However, he was never strict or overbearing. He was kind about letting us have plenty of time at each stop. I loved how knowledgeable he was. The stories and history he shared really made each place we passed and stopped at more meaningful. I loved how he listened and made such an amazing itinerary. I got to see everything I was looking forward like the Quiraing and Fairy Pools. Also when one member of our tour asked to see highland cows, Roger made sure we were able to fit that in. The tour guide can make or break the tour and we were lucky enough to have such a great one! Thanks Roger for making our time in the highlands the best experience we could wish for.

Our tour group was amazing and I really liked how small the groups our. Rabbies limits it and that makes it so much easier to do things and keep on time. Because it was the off season, we only had like 10 people which I really enjoyed. The mini couch was super clean and the big windows made the long drives that much better.

I was nervous about taking a multi day tour since you never know what you'll get. But I can't recommend Rabbies enough. Despite the rain, hail, and cold Isle of Skye was the highlight of our UK trip.

Lastly, I really like that Rabbies is giving back to the communities that they visit. It was nice to hear a little about the projects that Rabbies contributes to and how they don't just pass through. They actually care about the land and communities.

Thanks Rabbies for making our first trip to the Scotland and the UK such a success!

The whole experience with Rabbie’s was smooth and easy, from booking to departure. The bus was comfortable and roomy. We were fortunate enough to experience each stop with very few people given the time of year. The views were spectacular. Isle of Skye is breathtaking. Our guide, Desmond, was knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining. Highly recommend. This whole trip was amazing!

A really amazing trip! Our guide, Grant made it even more special with his knowledge and humor throughout the 3-day tour. Add to an amazing group of people who were part of the tour. We were only six people, which made the tour quite fun. Everybody got along, and we saw the most amazing things. We got lucky with the weather for the whole three days the sun was out. It was cold, but because of the sunny weather we were able to hike and see many many more things than we may have without the sun. I elected to have a B&B for my 2 overnight stay, it was really nice. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was quite pleased. I stayed at the Medina bed-and-breakfast in Portree, highly recommend!
If you’re booking this on Viator, or any other third-party site, you Rabbie, the company for more information information. Viatar did not supply me with any information about my overnight stay. Which would’ve been nice to know. Luckily the tour guide had all the info with him but he stated that they sent this information to Viar and it should be relayed to us. Which was not. Other than that everything went very smoothly!
FYI, I traveled as a single woman and felt very comfortable everywhere we went. Out of the six people on our tour two were single women traveling alone.

This tour was phenomenal, made even better by our guide. Mac was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, very personable, and very passionate about his beautiful country. His was absolutely seamless in the stories he told with safely navigating us around the highlands. He adapted our stops to what worked best with the weather at any given time. It almost seemed like he was adapting the weather to our stops, because every time we stopped, so did the rain. A splendid tour made even better by a very talented guide.

The views are abusolutely fascinating. Though many suggest the isle might be more stunning during summer and sunny days, I do find the isle envoloped in fog and cloud to be quite a mysterious and unique experience.

Our guide, cameron, was welcoming, humerous and dynamic. He gave us very authentic Scottish experience, detailed introduction to every places and stories, as well as caring tips. Should I come to visit Scotland again, I would like him to be my guide again!

I read the positive reviews before I booked the tour but still wasn’t expecting THIS quality of service. Amazing scenery accompanied with listening to tales and historic facts - I learned so much about the country in such a short time. Huge thanks to Kelly about her fun way of sharing her knowledge and love for this country with us and to Trevor for driving us safe back home. I fell in love with this country thanks to the tour and plan to visit again, highly recommended!

We just got back from the 3-day tour through the Isle of Sky and it was an outstanding experience. Jim Divine, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable of the rich history of Scotland and he was an equally genuine/wonderful person. He was kind, open to any questions, and he didn’t shy away from making the trip fun/entertaining. 3 days spent on a bus can sound boring, but the scenery was fantastic (we stopped at all the best places), the music selection was incredible, and Jim’s charisma and storytelling skills made it feel like we were on an adventure through history.

I cannot recommend this tour enough! I honestly felt like I didn’t just see Scotland—I experienced it. We will definitely be back again!
