Our tour was led by Ian who provided insightful commentary about the history, landscape, culture and humor of Scotland. Ian strove to meet the requests of all participants and demonstrated great flexibility when weather prevented some planned visits. In one instance, due to inclement weather, he was able to secure a whisky tasting to replace a visit to an outdoor area we were all impressed and satisfied. All three members of our family were thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the tour and the clear effort to make this a memorable part of our visit to Scotland.

If you travel to Scotland, you MUST visit the Isle of Skye...and what better way to do this than with a private tour guide who takes care of all the details!!! We booked through Viator, which booked us with Rabbis. Our guide was John....very knowledgeable, professional, music connoisseur, and all around witty! My husband and I are already planning to tour Ireland next year and we will definitely be booking this through Viator and Rabbis. We literally showed up at the bus on day 1 and did not have to worry about ANYTHING...John took care of all the details. The money paid is very very very much worth the it!!! I am a very experienced global traveler and have high expectations....my expectations were definitely met. My husband and I will be going back to Scotland as well...please go to the Isle of Skye...you will remember the landscape views for the rest of your life.

We had the best time with Fraser! He was a wonderful storyteller! He found unique activities for us - the walk to Coral Beach and the Ferry crossing, the Isle of Skye Brewery. His playlist and history lessons helped Scotland come alive for us!

This tour was awesome! There is so much packed into 3 days, it's hard to even pick a favorite: castles, sea cliffs, whisky tasting, more! Even with wind and rain for two of the days, we still had a great time. The tour guide/driver, Grant, was fantastic and was very engaging with us in pointing out various things we passed, and providing us with history of the area. He also threw in a few jokes. Overall, the entire tour was amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Scotland.

We really enjoyed this tour to the Isle of Skye. Ian our driver/guide was very, very knowledgeable of scotland history and of the sites we stopped to visit as well as of those we went through. Ian had interesting information about our surroundings as well such as the evolution of the vegetation and the forest and the geology of Scotland. He also shared with us Scottish music and poems. The topics he discussed were so varied that everyone could find something of interest for them personally. We had a good group of 12 adults and everyone was very respectful of others and of the schedule. Ian made many stops for pictures, food or toilet breaks. On a day when the weather was less cooperative, he had a plan to keep us busy and entertained. During the return trip, an accident on the motorway required Ian to find an alternate way back to Glasgow. Despite this inconvenience, he remained calm and took us through different towns than those initially planned. All in all it was a great tour which I strongly recommend.

The trip was one of a unique kind. The bus was comfortable. Window Glass is washed properly so you take photos while on the move. Should it get dirty with rain drops, the driver will willingly clean it for you. The Driver was amazing, very informative and helpful._br/_ I never though of going on trip so far north in November 2016 but it was one of my best tours ever. Cold but the views just makes you forget. I highly recommend.

We had a great time, the weather didn't cooperate so some things we couldn't see. I'm still glad we went, the Highlands are gorgeous. Our tour guide Alex was amazing and made the trip!

Absolutely loved it! Was very lucky with the weather too. Neil was a great guide very knowledgable and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this tour. I think the Isle of Skye is my favourite place that I have visited now so picturesque!

It was all about Iain, our tour guide. He was awesome. The coach was comfortable. The stops were frequent. The scenery was fantastic and the stories and music just made it interesting. My only wish would be for wifi on the coaches so to be able to look up things for more information. Lunch breaks were sometimes a bit short when the villages were crowded. Our bed and breakfast was superb as well. Comfortable rooms, private entrance, delicious breakfasts at convenient times. This was Balloch in Portree. the whole process from booking the tour to return to our hotel was seamless and professional.

Such a lovely tour! I had been to the highlands before but I had no idea how gorgeous Skye is. We had mixed weather: gorgeous and sunny one day, rainy and cold the next, but our guide Graham always had back-up plans and adapted the schedule accordingly. This was my second tour through Rabbie's and I was just as pleased with this one as I was with the one-day highlands tour from Edinburgh. My one complaint is that the accommodations in Portree were not ideal. I would call them motel-quality at best loud with awful mattresses and a lingering telltale smell that smoking used to be allowed there. However, I understand that options in Portree are limited and that Rabbie's does their best, and the location was great. And to be fair, we didn't spend much time at the hotel anyway. I would simply caution others to consider booking their own accommodations if they want someplace a bit more comfortable. Many thanks to Rabbie's and Graham for an unforgettable adventure!

Enjoyed the group and B and B but I was very disappointed not to visit inside any castles, the Loch Ness boat ride or Fairie pools due to picking up people at an undesignated spot. Guide was nice but chattered and played music non-stop. As a travel writer, it would have been nice to have quiet sometime.

The tour was fantastic with a great tour guide Ian! He was very knowledgeable on the history of Scotland! The weather could not have been better! My only complaint is that I chose the hotel option on the water for which I paid extra . My daughter and I ended up in a tiny hotel room above a pub.

This tour was fabulous! I was travelling with my son who is studying at the University of Glasgow. We each had a wonderful time. Our tour guide and driver was John. He was superb. We saw much more and learned much more about Scotland than I dreamed we would on a small bus this trip to Isle of Skye. The seats were comfortable and each seat offered an excellent view. The many stops provided us with opportunities to explore the area. Our favorite part was Skye itself and the lodging at the guest house. I would definitely do this trip again. I would recommend it to anyone.
