A great experience, seeing Alnwick Castle, especially for Harry Potter fans. There is plenty of time to tour the castle, take the movie set tour, and even go into the town. Andy made the trip, informative and amusing with his local commentary. Thanks to Andy and Viator for another wonderful experience.

We had very nice time with Andy. He was funny, informative and enthusiastic. Rabbies tour buses are comfortable and small sized. Great tour.

We decided to do a small group tour and we were assigned Jim Scott. He was amazing and shared a lot of interesting facts and snippets about Scotland. He made the whole trip very very interactive and made it more memorable by his sense of humour. We wish him the best! Cheers!!

It was a very nice trip, we really enjoyed it.
Our guide Jim Scott was fantastic company, very funny and fun.
We received a lot of substantive information. The whole trip was nicely filled with interesting stories, beautiful music, fun fact about Scotland that you will remember.
Moreover you are very comfortable in a mini bus with a small group so it feels more personal compared to a large bus.
Highly recommended!
Kind regard, Zhanna

I’ve to be honest. I’m not a Harry Potter fan. I’ve not read a single Harry Potter book neither have I watched a Harry Potter movie. I booked this tour only for the Alnwick gardens which have a special part called The Poison Garden. That was the one and only reason to book this trip. The garden was magnificent and going to the poison garden was my long cherished dream. I found both the garden and the Alnwick castle amazing. We got three hours time to visit the castle and garden. Surprisingly, on the day of the tour (26/8/23) Mr Gay Europe contest was happening in the Alnwick gardens. Got an opportunity to watch that as well.
We also went to the market town of Kelso. Bought a venison scotch egg from the market place which was delicious ?!
Went to the Coldstream and crossed the bridge between England and Scotland.
On our way back went to the north Berwick beach and had a chance to watch the boat races.
Our tour guide Jan was very good. Amazing memory he has ! Gave a list of things invented by Scottish people in an alphabetical order. Enjoyed the tour !

We had an excellent guide/driver Alistair who shared interesting history and information on the stops and sites. The bus was clean and comfortable and the small (15) size group enjoyable. The time at Alnwick a little short for those mostly interested in doing all the tours.

Great trip to Alnwick Castle and borders. Enjoyed the fact that the group was rather small, we got many small brakes and even tho I was running a bit late, the tour still waited for us. The guide shared a lot of interesting information during the ride. Overall would recommend this tour !

This was a great tour, Alnwick and Bamburgh were so beautiful! We also stopped in couple small towns, they were equally as beautiful. We had a great time, and our tour guide Ally was awesome! He had so much information about everything, it was a smaller tour on a 16-seat bus, which was really nice. If you want to see some countryside and castles, this is a great tour!
