5.00I'm sorry for the late review. I do wish I had made the time to write this earlier when everything was fresh in my mind. We did 3 tours with Rabbies in April of 2025, and all of them were really good. The Loch Ness, Glencoe, and Highlands tour from Glasgow was wonderful. We were short on time, and yet wanted to experience at least some of Scotland's natural beauty. This is exactly what we got from this 12 hour long tour. The bus was comfortable. Old Cameron our tour guide for the day, made the long drives fun with his story telling skills, his knowledge, choice of music, food and restaurant recommendations and conversation. Thank you Cameron for helping make this tour extra special.
Great overview of Glencoe & Highlands.

5.00Beautiful experience as this little winter and freezing tour! Glencoe's scenery is beautiful under the snow! The different stops are all great views. Loch Ness is nice but Nessie had put a RTT on the day of our excursion. For information, there is a lot of road, enjoy the scenery through the vehicle window and let yourself be soaked in music that accompanies the comments of your guide. Andrew was our guide and I must say he contributed greatly to the very good quality of this excursion. It gives historical, cultural or geographical anecdotes when we pass near a point of interest and this without tiring along the way, an exciting enthusiast. He is always available also to answer questions and is super funny. I hope to run into him next time!
Absolutely beautiful

5.00Our guide was Andrew and he was perfect. A lot of insights into Scottish history, legends, and advice. This trip already had great reviews but it is as rated, well organised and comfortable. Since we took the trip on a snowy cold January weekend, it would be helpful to have advice on how to dress and what to bring along.
Andrew was a great tour guide and the experience was amazing

5.00Incredible experience!! Our tourguide Andrew was amazing, really nice and also cultured. He knew every bit of history and fun facts about the places we visited and past by. He also brought carrots to feed Deer and Highland Cows. On top of that he was really funny. The tour was really good, great places to visit in one day, couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks Andrew for making this a great experience for me and my wife.

5.00Michelle and David did a fantastic job. They provided excellent information about the surrounding sights we visited and provided ample opportunities to stop and take photos. One of the best day trips my wife and I have taken. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in Scottish history and/or Scotland's landscape!
Such a beautiful,...

Dismal experience with the driver

2.00The trip itself is very good and more in this winter season but what should be a pleasant trip was quite the opposite. First, never in the six hours of the trip does the driver stop talking. He did not fall according to him explaining life in the country and talked about politics and new things when you want to enjoy the view. He never stops talking about the trip. We were all upset about it. Then he put the heating too hard which is suffocating, not being able to breathe from the hot part of the trip he had to be told to turn it down to the heat
Very cool tour guide, beautiful places and scenery

5.00Mohammad our Tour guide was perfect! The best combination of funny, explaining and competent. The tour startet with very beautiful pictures taken and it was never boring ! The whole day I never had to worry about anything. Even for eating breakfast, lunch and dinner there were so many options (cafes, restaurants etc) with enough time. Highly recommended!
Spectacular snowy scenery

5.00Spectacular snow covered scenery brought to life with colourful and insightful commentary from our driver / guide Mohammed. Whilst the drive itself is challenging this time of year, the care and extra stops we were afforded made the trip well worth it. A very picturesque journey I would highly recommend!!
