My senior citizen mother, sister and me were taking some time out together - the trip was paced well and suited all ages. My mother absolutely loved it. Andrew from the tour company Rabbies was extremely solicitous of my mother, letting her do things she felt up to doing. The scenery was beautiful and the group was nice. We even celebrated the graduation of one of our fellow travelers! Good people to travel with!
Duncan did an excellent job. We really enjoyed our visit to the West Highlands and Isle of Skye. The weather wasn't great but, the tour was. The accommodations were okay maybe could be improved in some locations.
Exceeded my expectations. Had a great time. Rabbies was very run, and their driver Ross took very good care of us. I couldn't recommend it more.
Stefan was a wonderful tour guide and made the trip spectacular with his stories, music and enthusiasm for Skye. The mini bus allowed us to go on curvy roads high in the mountains for amazing walks and views. The B and Bs were very comfortable and everyone slept well. The best way to visit the Highlands!
Everything about this was wonderful! I personally don't like tours, but this was a trip with my mom and she felt much more comfortable doing the tour. We had a great time. All the places we stayed were wonderful and our tour guide through Rabbies was lovely to spend 4 days with. We some some incredible things. Of course I like to stop for every photo opp and this just isn't possible on a tour like this, but I felt good about the stops we did have. I also felt the value of the tour was exceptional. It was a very fair price for all the transport and accommodations. We loved it!
Very nice pace, super friendly and caring driver - Matt, that took us to the local secret spots not overran by tourists.
This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Stewart, was extremely professional and knowledgeable. In addition to the listed stops, he took the group to other places along the way such as Loch Ness. Stewart's passion for Scotland was apparent. We felt that we got a good snapshot of Highland culture along the way through his knowledge of the country and its history. He also incorporated a lot of local Scottish bands into his music on the bus which accentuated the tour. Of course, the scenery of the Highlands is absolutely incredible! Highly recommended tour to get out of the city and see what Scotland is really about.
