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.

Maybe it's us not you

Maybe it's us, not you. Perhaps we misunderstood what this tour was meant to be.

For a 10-hour trip, we spent well over 7 hours in the vehicle. Considering we paid almost £200, that felt excessive to us.

Most of the stops were very short: one 30-minute break for the bathroom and snacks, two or three photo stops of around 10 minutes each, and one longer stop of about 1 hour and 15 minutes for lunch, which was only just enough time to eat and have a brief walk and one last stop at the castle for 45 minutes max.

Perhaps a better experience would be to focus on fewer locations and allow more time to actually explore them. We feel that would make the trip much better value.

That said, the tour guide was genuinely excellent. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and even poetic in the way she described the places. Her voice was so calm and soothing that I actually drifted off to sleep at one point! The scenery itself was beautiful as well.

Our only real disappointment was the balance of the day. It involved too much time sitting in the coach and too little time walking, discovering, and enjoying the places we came to see. For us, it didn't quite justify the price, though we understand others may enjoy this style of tour more than we did.

Reply from Rabbie's Tours

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your driver-guide and thought she was excellent. Scotland's landscapes are so breathtaking sometimes that the only way to describe them is to be poetic!

However, I regret to hear that the tour didn't meet your expectations in terms of timings and balance. It's clear you would have preferred a slower pace tour. This one covers a lot of ground in a day, and we think it's perfect for people that want to see a lot of Scotland in a short time period. We understand that it ultimately comes down to personal preferences, and we're sorry that the tour was disappointing to you.

Hopefully, we can welcome you again on one of our slower pace tour in the future so you can have more time to explore each destination.

Thank you for your feedback, it's really helpful for us to know what works well for our guests and where we can improve.

All the best,
Camille

Breath taking, Magestic, Agile and Well Paced

We had Roger for our tour and he was such a great driver, well informed and knowledgeable, with Scottish wit and humour to match. The overall 3 day tour was the perfect length to really appreciate Isle Of Skyy and all its beauty. Van was comfortable with perfect temp. Although the rain affected some of the views, it’s Scotland and it actually added to the experience by seeing all the huge waterfalls at full capacity coming down the highlands and mountains. Roger also changed the plan for us last minute to take us all to Dunvegan Castle to see my Macleod Clan, and still got us through our entire planned sites for the day which was hugely appreciated. An unbelievable experience, taking out the stress of trying to plan a tour yourself, while also getting you to many hidden gems only locals know of!

The tour to Chatsworth and the Peak District Tour was an excellent day tour. Darren(sp?) was a wonderful tour guide who kept the tour very interesting with his stories and his attention to detail and punctuality was much appreciated. Tours like this one are an excellent way to see the world.

Our tour guide Rich was so nice and knowledgeable. He gave us a true Scottish experience and you could tell he genuinely loved his job. The trip to Loch Ness and the highlands was very memorable, and I’m glad we got to see that side of Scotland through this tour. I highly recommend Rabbie’s for your next adventure.

Great guides, great scenery!

Both Carl and Graham were outstanding guides and made our journey both informative and fun. The scenery was lovely, we had some vacant seats on the bus and could spread out, and the choice of activities was good.
