There is almost no way to really describe this tour. The Scottish Highlands must be experienced to be believed. The different sceneries and sites are almost beyond words. If you have ever thought about touring the northern areas of Scotland, don't hesitate - go! And when you do, we highly recommend Bruce M of Rabbi's Tours. His extensive knowledge and warm humor were the "icing on the cake" for this vacation. He and his company were also flexible and very safety conscious, which just made the trip enjoyable and worry-free. We highly recommend this trip!

Expecting lots of rain, we were surprised by warmish temps and some sun. The group was great, our guide Bruce, was outstanding! The scenery and historical highlights that we were traded to could not have been better. Highly recommended!

I cannot only fault Rabbies as I feel my travel agent is at least half responsible for our terrible time. My sister has mobility issues and walks with a walker, cannot climb stairs due to MS, and has some special needs. We saved endlessly for 9 years to take the trip of a lifetime to Ireland and Scotland and I specifically told my travel agent of my sister's limitations. Starting in Ireland, there were not many accommodations but at least everyone worked hard to try and accommodate us or found a way to get my sister upstairs or find an alternative. In Scotland, we sadly did not find the same. Every city we visited had an issue with access for her. The last straw was when we arrived in Portree at the Royal Hotel for our last two days of a 28 day trip. The person at the Royal explained to us that they contacted Rabbies to let them know they could not accommodate my sister and Rabbies could care less telling them it was ok for my sister to climb 4 flights of stairs to get to her room. She ended up in a substandard room on the bottom floor only thanks to Mo at the Royal who worked endlessly to get her a place to rest her head and broken body. The people on our tour were ready to give up their rooms for her before the tour company would make efforts to get her the right accommodations. Word of warning, if you have a handicap, mobility issues or simply have a hard time with mobility, reconsider spending a lot of money to get to Scotland and choose your tour operator wisely.

We did the five night small group trip to the Highlands and the Isle of Sky. The scenery is as beautiful as any we’ve ever seen. Lush, green, water everywhere, beautiful mountains and volcanic relics. While we did not see the Loch Ness Monster, the beauty of the lake more than made up for it. Our guide, Andrew, was informative and entertaining, our lodgings were comfortable (we opted for the bed and breakfasts with en suite bathrooms) and the towns we visited were small but welcoming. Beautiful views and vistas of mountains, of the ocean and islands were a daily joy during the trip.

Tour guide Sophie was flawless: positive, confident, supportive, calm. Her advice and sense of humor was much appreciated. Our large group became a happy team. She dealt with all the things that arouse. I liked that she had us contribute to the music play list.

Just so it’s clear I am writing a review on Viator not Rabbies who actually did the tour. I think the information that I got from my tour was incomplete and I felt like there was a disconnect between Viator tour and Rabbies. Had I booked directly with Rabbies I would have better informed about accommodations such as a hotel versus B&B. Viator did not inform me that by staying in a B&B you could be as far out of the center of town as a 30 minute walk and that you didn’t always get a hot breakfast. I also did not get all the information on the tour from Viator like the people did who booked directly with rabbies.

This tour offered a taste of everything—scenery, history, whiskey, wildlife. Absolutely perfect for the entire family. The accommodations were very comfortable as was the bus. Our tour guides absolutely made the experience with great stories, facts, recommendations and energy. Loved Karis and Alistair
