We recently took two tours of Scotland with Rabbies. The first was a one day tour of Alnwick and the border lands. The second was a five day tour of Iona, Mull and Skye. Both tours were great! I especially enjoyed our guide Michael on the five day tour. His humor and knowledge were only outmatched by his grace when he had to deal with a challenging passenger. I will miss Scotland!

This was an amazing tour of some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. Our driver/guide Ross was excellent. His knowledge of the area was impressive and you can tell he really loved sharing that with others . The over night accomdations were lovely and towns were very quaint.
Would do it all over again!

Our first muliday tour with Rabbie's was an excellent experience. Hard to overstate the interesting highland scenery. Our guide Catty did a superb job of providing commentary through out the trip. This tour visits many locations, all of which were interesting. The overnight locations, Oban and Plockton, of two nights each, were good with Oban being the larger town that has multiple dining options. Plockton was much smaller and dinner reservations were needed. The 16 pax van was comfortable and the stops were frequent enough to take care on any needs. We certainly recommend this tour.

The 5 day Iona, Mull and Skye tour was amazing. Our guide Catty was knowledgeable, friendly and had an amazing base of historical and folklore stories to share.

The tour fit in all the highlights of Iona, Mull and Skye. With one of the major highlights being the boat trip to Staffa and visiting Fingals Cave and the Puffins.

The only draw back was that the weather was unseasonably warm and none of the accommodations have air conditioning or fans, which made sleep difficult.

Overall I would highly recommend Rabbies and the Iona, Mull and Skye tour.
I would also highly recommend Catty as your guide!

My sister and I took the Rabbies 5-day tour to Iona, Mull and Skye, with Grant as our driver guide, in the beginning of October 2022.

This was our third Rabbies trip: the smaller more friendly groups in mini-buses that reach less accessible spots, the more flexible itineraries to suit the interests and activity levels of the group in the bus, and the interest shown in communities and local businesses draw us back to Rabbies over other companies.

Special thanks however go to Grant for his engaging storytelling, his skill in brining the group together, his efforts to ensure our expectations for the tour were met (if not exceeded!), and his love for Scotland which coloured every anecdote and which helped make this trip unforgettable.

Great Tour with a great guide. Paul showed us his beloved Mull where we got to taste fresh oysters. He also pre-booked a couple of restaurants in Plockton as there were only two and we arrived early evening. When on Skye he took us to one end of the Island to the other and was information, funny and played great music which suited the tour.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Alan, was a walking encyclopedia of information, and we appreciated his knowledge, stories, and music. Alan came up with a flexible agenda for our day on Skye as most things were closed due to the holiday for the Queen's funeral.

We just completed our tour and we're happy with the places we visited and our accommodations. If you stay at the Hill View B&B in Plockton, be sure to ask for the porridge for breakfast. Our guide/driver Paul was great. When on Skye he took us from one end of the isle to the other and was always in good spirits. It was a fun trip and would highly recommend it.

I just got back from this tour a few days ago and have not stopped thinking about it, I wish I could go back!! Our tour guide was Dom who was so nice and clearly knew everything there was to know about the culture, fairytales, geology and history of the areas we explored. I was traveling solo on this trip (which I very rarely do), but was warmly welcomed by everyone. The small size of the tour was ideal and by the end we were all sad to part ways. I really could not have envisioned a better week, even though it started with cold wind and rain, it ended in sunshine. The b&bs Rabbies booked were very comfortable and owned by really sweet locals (they also serve you huge, homey breakfasts in the morning which is great).
*If you are wondering whether to book this tour (or another with Rabbies), do it!! I will be recommending this to everyone in the future*
