Written by the company

Rabbie’s small group tours are driven by curiosity and guided by storytellers. We find the stories that go deeper and live longer in travellers' minds. On our journeys, everyone’s hungry for the little-known or just-happened, and we can go after them: no track too small, too trodden or obscure. No need for scripts, because our guides know places like the back of their hand.

Brilliant from start to finish,

Brilliant from start to finish,
Alex was passionate about his local area, so was to give in depth information and history.
We had regular stops throughout the day, for refreshments, toilet stops and places of interest.
Very Comfortable 16 seater mini bus, running commentary and or music.
Would highly recommend this very experienced tour company!

4 Special Gardens in Perthshire

Lea at Rabbies planning office was very helpful in getting us sorted and she must've made all the bookings that included a private garden! The day was perfect. We loved Iain. He treated us very well and kept our safety and comfort in mind at each stop. He also showed us some off the track countryside villages as well.

We had a great trip with Kylie and the other guests in the Outlander tour. Not only was it great to visit the set locations but Kylie really made the trio. She was so generous with her knowledge and expertise. She's obviously very proud of where she comes from and she's good fun. The trip is well managed and organised, you have ample time in each location. Bring layers and a rain jacket to head off the Scottish weather amd enjoy your hunt for some time travelling Highlanders!

5 day tour of the highlands/Skye

Had a fabulous tour of the highlands/Skye with Graham. Amazing vistas, great stories & music, and wonderful memories. The tour was shared with people from the four corners of the earth! While the weather didn't always cooperate, that was expected and we enjoyed the tour immensely.

Perfect journey to the wild NorthEast coast Scotland

Perfect journey despite perturbed weather. From Dolphin centre to seals beach, Bow Fiddle Rock, village of the North Coast, Cullen, then Eastern coas, Slains Castle and finally marvellous Bullers of Buchan, high cliffs with sea birds, including puffins. All with comments and knowledged by Alan, within a small group. Just good timing with stops well planified.

fantastic 4-day Highlands tour…

I had a fantastic 4-day Highlands tour with Kevin! The arrangement and time control were impeccable. His scenic introductions, perfectly curated song list, and expert tips on taking good photos made the trip truly special. He even helped me get some amazing shots of me in my blue top against the stunning landscapes! Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Scotland

Excellent and well-organized trip!

Excellent and well-organized trip!

The Lake District is absolutely beautiful, with stunning scenery, charming villages, and lake views. The itinerary was well planned, allowing enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.

Darren was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and very engaging throughout the day. He shared interesting information about the area, kept the group well informed, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

The Windermere cruise was a highlight, and the visits to Grasmere, Hawkshead, and Coniston Water provided a wonderful taste of the Lake District's beauty and history.

Highly recommended for anyone visiting Manchester and looking for a memorable day trip to one of England's most beautiful regions.

Pete was a fantastic guide!

Pete was a fantastic guide! He was so knowledgeable about history and how it relates to the present. We appreciated that he chose to take us into the country rather than staying on the highway. This tour into Wales was a highlight of our week in Manchester!

Reach for the Skye!

Driver/Guide Nick was terrific, informative and funny. Played lots of great music too. Photo stops by Loch Lomond and in Glencoe. We had to make a 100 mile diversion because of a road accident near Kyle of Lochalsh but he turned it into an adventure and kept us all up to date. Full day tour of Skye on Day 2 followed by trips to Eilan Donan Castle, Fort Augustus and Glencoe on Day 3. Accommodation on Skye was luxurious. Recommended 💯

It could not have been better

It could not have been better! Everything from adjusting schedule on account of weather to maximize and customize our group’s experience and the “sound track” for each day was phenomenal. It’s hard to believe we packed so much into three days. While the experience checked off every box, it left us wanting to return for more. Lizzie connected with each individual and regaled us with expert storytelling of Scottish history and even softened the blow for those of us with Campbell connections. I was impressed with her skilled and courteous driving. Fantastic experience!
