The best!. Heather was an amazing guide - very knowledgeable and entertaining. Also a great driver. She also was able to take us to off the road views and place she knew about. Just a stunning time!

We won't be taking any more Rabbies tours nor would we ever recommend them to anyone.

Awesome trip. Our tour guide had a great way of telling us about the history of Scotland and her attention to detail was of extremely high standard. The tour was relaxing to have time to yourself but also busy enough to see and do plenty of activities. Would recommend to anyone of any age.

The bus was very comfortable. Our guide, Sara, was excellent,very clear in her information, quite a competent driver and her charming personality enhanced the whole tour.Our B and B accommodation was outstanding. The points visited on the tour were well chosen. We would certainly recommend this to others.

Rabbie's put together a wonderful tour. Our tour guide was amazing and the tour group was wonderful. I could not have asked for a better way to start my Scotland trip. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Well worth the money - we saw so much and had such a fabulous time!!

The landscapes were wonderful and our tourist guide was excellent Michael. He was very professional and well organised. We highly appreciated his enthusiasm in telling us about the Scottish history.

The tour itself was wonderful, but Andrew the tour guide was AMAZING! A wonderful sense of humor coupled with a surfeit of knowledge about local history and customs made for an informative and enjoyable tour. His dining recommendations were always great as well. I can't say enough good things about Andrew and this tour. Thanks!

Our guide was Sue Ramsey. She was excellent, informed, professional, generous, genuine, kind, enthusiastic, motivating, good humored, uplifting, and had all the historical info that we had hoped for.

The small-group tour when dominated by the tour leader is as good as feeling trapped. Personal remarks about clients over the bus microphone were offensive and demeaning. This was not comedic fun but victimization. The tour leader is there to serve the group's needs. The need for silence and some sleep time in the afternoon was absent. When she was not talking she played music.I was glad to get off the bus. Five days was too long!

This was a fantastic trip due, in no small part, to the extraordinary leader. She was knowledgeable, creative, energetic, and went above and beyond in making sure that we were all comfortable, happy, and well informed. She was also a careful and responsible driver. Our van was comfortable as well. The itinerary covered a lot of ground but was planned in a way in which each ride was not too long. We got a great sense of Scottish culture and history and had the opportunity for physical activity as well. This trip was a high point in a one month stay in the United Kingdom, which included a cycling trip in Wales and a hiking trip in Northumberland.

The tour was fantastic and our guide Richard was the best. It is a small bus so he was able to take us many places a big bus could not go. Scotland is a very beautiful country and we really enjoyed the trip.

Excellent guide - very knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and very enthusiastic! The first B&B was much better than expected, the second just all right. Time spent in the different tour places view points and towns could have been better divided more time in towns for lunch, sightseeing, etc.. But overall we would definitely recommend it!
