5.00Great tour trip and operator! Cannot say enough good things about Rabbies! The tour itself was great—on time, well done, with a very knowledgeable, engaging and funny tour guide (Russell). Nice motor coach, very smoothly run, on time etc. And Rabbie’s was great to deal with—they had a pricing mistake on their website but honored the lower price with no problem, and then switched a day for us when we had a conflict. Very happy and highly recommended.
Great day

5.00This was the third time we travelled with Rabbie’s. I really like the style they propose and advocate. Their excursions are more interactive and not crowded (max 16 pax). This time our guide was David. A nice fellow, very knowledgeable and kind. We have got to visit several castles and the West Highlands.
Good customer experience

4.00Great day that allowed us to discover a bit of the Highlands. We stay hungry but we should have chosen a stay of several days to better taste the atmosphere that is very beautiful and wild! Our guide Neil was talented and the tour of Dewar’s Aberfeldy distillery was brilliantly done by the employee on site! We recommend this immersion!
