We had a wonderful time...

5.00We had a wonderful time on the Kelpies / Loch Lomond / Stirling Castle tour! Luckily the weather was perfect. A very comfortable ride, pleasant company, and relaxed time at each stop. Even some nice surprise visits along the way. Recommended for a day trip from Edinburgh.
Would have been better if we spent more time at the castle.

3.00We spent most of the time on the bus. I was expecting more time at the sites. The sites were ok. the Kelpies, fine, the loch, disappointing. I will we would have spent more time at the castle. We got there with 2 hours left before closing, so did not get to see it all. A bit disappointing.
It could be a wonderful...

4.00It could be a wonderful tour, but the rain was nasty at times. Our guide , Lyn was very knowledgeable and friendly. She talked about history, geology and fairy tales. While talking, Lyn was punctuating her speech with gesticulations and driving with only one hand on the wheel. It was a little scary when we were riding on the curvy road up and down the hills through the rain.
It was an amazing day! ...

5.00It was an amazing day! Stirling Castle was definitely worth visiting! Loch Lomond was beautiful and the Kelpies a true unique work of art!

1.00First time with Rabbie’s and would not recommend. Very disappointed. The van is tiny and packs passengers like sardines. Which makes for a very uncomfortable ride cramped for many hours next to a tall person. Felt like I was on Spirit Airlines. Contacted the company and suggestion I got was to ask the driver to help. Driver could not help since the van was already overloaded. The guide is more of a driver than a guide. He periodically regurgitated some facts but did not seem to know Scottish history well. Sights were beautiful but I think it would have been a better experience with another company.
I have never traveled...

1.00I have never traveled with Rabie’s before and was fairly disappointed. 1). The van is small and extremely cramped. I was sitting between and window and a very tall person which left absolutely no room. It made for a very uncomfortable ride. 2). Our guide was more of a driver than a guide. He periodically regurgitated some facts but did not seem to know a lot of Scottish history. 3). Company was not very responsive when I contacted them about the situation with sitting. They told me to talk to the driver who could not help. The van was packed like a can of sardines. 4). The places we visited were amazing but it would have been much better to go with another company.
FABULOUS TOUR

5.00This was a wonderful tour!! It was well organized top to bottom. We had the great fortune to be guided by Duncan C.....who is already masterful even though this was only his 7th or so full solo trip as a guide. He was an alert, careful driver...even though others on the road were not! Perhaps it was his trusty side-kick Roscoe :). He also added great touches with musical selections and personal stories! We loved Stirling Castle....and all the stops. A dynamic and wonderful family trip to the countryside.
Great Tour

5.00Great trip. Ewan was a fantastic tour guide. Knowledgable, funny and accommodating! I think I liked Stirling Castle more than Edinburgh Castle. I wish we had seen a hairy coo but we just weren’t lucky.

5.00This was a great tour, that wasn't too long and it hit a lot of the Scottish countryside. This was well worth the money, and it was a smaller tour that was only 16 people, which was awesome!
Great sights.
