4-Day Isle of Skye and Highlands Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh

Posted By : 232melaniei
This tour was incredible! We got to see just about every big stop through the isle of Skye and Highlands and our tour guide Duncan (Big Dunc) was so knowledgeable about all things Scotland, it really made our trip top notch. The bus was comfortable and we enjoyed having a smaller group it made for easy stops and not a lot of waiting around for others to move on.

I may have had some idea about what the tour was going to be like, but I didn’t know that it would be this memorable and fun. Kenny was our guide and although he tried to downplay how awesome of a tour guide he was, I immediately realized that he was pretty legit and certainly checked everyone’s wishlist. From the mountains to lochs up to castles and petting a hairy coo.. Kenny was able to accommodate what everyone wanted to see. I appreciate his patience, his ability to multi-task (drive, guide, and answer questions), and his willingness to listen. Thank you Kenny for taking care of our group!!

My friend and I chose a 4 day tour so we wouldn’t feel rushed going up to the Isle of the Skye and West Highlands. We had a lot of photo opportunities and were given ample time to explore. I personally liked being in a small group tour (16 people) because there was less noise and crowd. We got our own accommodations thru airbnb and provided the addresses when we booked the tour. We got lucky with where we stayed because it was either near the hotels Rabbie’s provided the other tourists or previous Rabbie’s tourists have stayed with them. I felt very safe during the entire tour and never once did I doubt if we made the right choice. Thank you Rabbie’s for these experiences I will look back on for the rest of my life. We will see you again soon!

Our four day/ three night Isle of Skye tour out of Edinburgh was great fun, albeit one with a couple issues.

Our guide, Duncan Martin, was superb; just the right mix of informative and entertaining. I peppered him with questions and he had ready answers to all, mixed with sly humor, atrocious puns and good music.

The scenery was stunning, Due to a ferry closure, Duncan had to improvise, but made sure we had plenty to see.

The coach was very comfortable and Duncan made sure, in an inoffensive way, that we stayed on time.

So, the guide, the coach and the sights all rate 5’s. Why only a 4?

Apparently, a lot of restaurants and B&B’s shut down in late October, the end of the tourist season. They also have staffing issues. The result is that our fifteen passengers were scattered among several accommodations, and restaurants were few and far between. I won’t speak for the others, but one place we stayed had an only enough room for our bed: there was no rom to maneuver past my wife, and we both are small people. The food was OK, but reservations were recommended and sometimes necessary as there were few options available.

The Rabbies Tour & Tour Guide were outstanding. Lodging in Kyleakin was unacceptable. The Winklebeech B&B did not have any hot water. Merchant refuses to make amends. Buyer beware of lodging.

Jim Divine is the best tour guide I can recommend to anyone if they would like a tour of Scotland. He is very personable, has many stories to tell, funny and educational. He is the best, period. He made our 20th anniversary trip unforgettable. The trip itself is amazing, so many breathtaking sights to see, so many friendly people, it is a must do for anyone that has Scotland on their bucket list

Our tour guide, Mark, brought history, topography, culture and the Scottish humor to life through his commentary, knowledge, music and standup comedy ( seated comedy).
Professional and prompt.

Having just returned to Edinburgh ftom our 4 day tour of the Highlands and the Isle of Skye,it is just now sinking in what an amazing trip it was. Kevin,our driver/guide, was the best! He was pleasant,very easy to understand,funny, and shared so much valuable information during our 4 days together. He was also a very skilled driver on some narrow winding roads. We had plenty of stops along the way to take pictures,get refreshments,and use comfort stations. Kevin even made sure we found some Hairy Coos,up close and personal on this trip,which was a highlight for many of us!
I highly recommend this tour company and this 4 day tour. It covers so many beautiful areas of Scotland!

My wife and I went on the four day Isle of Skye and West Highlands tour. We had a wonderful time throughout. Our tour guide, Robbie, was quite knowledgeable and added great commentary on each location we visited. The bed and breakfast accommodations in Kyle of Lochalsh were wonderful. Views in the Highlands are breathtaking.
