6 years later and I still remember this as one of my best travel experiences.

I can't say enough good things about the Rabbie's organization in general and our guide Pete in particular. The company was welcoming, well organized and attentive. And Pete was a delight. Full of stories, jokes and anecdotes. He was always on the lookout for the best photo ops, making detours and stops when he saw an opportunity for a great photo. And most importantly, the Scottish highlands themselves are amazing, the most moving and humbling landscape I've ever seen and an experience not to be missed. If you're visiting Scotland for any amount of time, you owe it to yourself to book this trip.

I know everyone thinks their tour guide is the best but ours truly was!!! Roland made the trip absolutely magical. He is incredibly well-read, articulate, funny and engaging. His commentary was interspersed with lively Scottish music, ballads reflecting the stories he was telling or, at one point, his own rendition of You take the high road- he can even sing beautifully. I was traveling with my 20-something year old daughters and he made everyone on the tour feel welcome and comfortable. He truly has a gift for bringing Scotland to life. And we were impressed with the tour company, Rabbie's, overall. The accommodations were exactly as advertised and the company seems very well run. We met different guides on other tours during the 3 days and they all seemed to have great personalities! Having been on a tour where the guide turned out to be nothing more than a glorified bus driver, I can appreciate a company that seems to value quality tour guides.

If you're not driving yourself around Scotland this is a great tour to see the Scottish Highland and the Isle of Skye. My sister and I visited in the middle of Feb right in the smack of winter and many of the tours weren't running. This tour to the Isle of Skye run by Rabbie's was just what we needed. It gave us the opportunity to see so much more of the Highlands and visit areas like Glencoe and Fort William that we may not have seen otherwise. The Mercedes van was very comfy and I enjoyed having a smaller tour group. Bruce our driver was information and a great driver. He was pretty chill about each of our stops and giving people time to explore on the Isle of Skye. It's a beautiful island even in winter. We had people of all ages on our tour and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Rabbie's was great to tour with and I would definitely book with them again in the future.

I am now completely in love with Scotland. I cannot wait to come back. We were fortunate enough to have Pete as our guide. I don’t even have words to tell you how spectacular of a guide he is. He is a gifted story teller and his knowledge of the areas and histories seemed limitless. Thank you Pete!!

The tour was well worth it and the Isle of Sky is beautiful, as the Highlands. Stopping points well planned and the guide was very thoughtful and knowledgeable. I do find it rather expensive, specially when one travels alone.

It was a wonderful trip indeed. The scene is totally breathtaking, and we are lucky not to have too much rain, thus I was able to take hundreds gorgeous photos. Michael, our driver and tour guide is the best ! He has been a safe driver, and showed his care every step away. In lots of occasions, he will get down the coach first to try the road, just in case its Not too slippery or too muddy. He is a good story teller as well. I start to like his strong Scottish accent after three days trips. Thank you Michael for a good job ! I will definitely recommend this trip to my friends whoever want to visit UK.

This was an awesome tour, the tour guide/driver was the best he talked a lot about the history and saw many sites, had plenty of time at each location, saw several castles and had plenty of time to take a boat ride on the Loch Ness and have lunch on the last day

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The weather was less than perfect but our guide David was so knowledgeable about the history that we did not mind. The B and B we stayed at was incredible. We had a gorgeous view out our bedroom window. And the owners were welcoming and more than gracious. We had a problem with our train tickets and they went out of their way to help us solve it. Would definitely recommend this trip.

This tour was amazing, the guide and driver was awesome and attentive. Truly informative and clearly loved his country and showing it to people. This tour was worth every penny and truly lived up to its billing. I'd happily do it all over again. Outstanding start to finish!

This tour was AMAZING! Bobby is such a great tour guide - he was so genuine and you could tell he loves what he does. The Fairy Pools were a highlight and our B and B in the middle of Portree was great! Portree itself was nice -- the only disappointing part was that there was ZERO live music but we were able to find some cool bars our favorite was Isle to get some sort of nightlife. This is a great tour to get out of hustle of Edinburgh and spend a lot of time outdoors. Bobby catered to everybody's needs, but you will get a lot more out of this tour if you are healthy enough to walk/hike a bit through the beautiful scenery. Enjoy!

3 days tour very enjoyable. Willie who is the Driver and guide very good and knowledgeable of the area which he shared with us. He took very good care of us throughout the trip. Spectacular sceneries throughout the island. Really worth doing the trip.

It would have been helpful if we had been informed ahead of time that there was a music festival in town and it would be difficult to get dinner reservations.
Review by: Dennis W, September 2017
This tour was very comprehensive. The driver/tour guide was a local Scotsman and was informative on many topics and history of the region. The sight seeing was well organised by the driver around the some times inclement weather of Scotland. Over all this tour was well run.
