      TravelerWritten January 2026

      I have 6 people now looking at May 1-9 - how can I tell if there is enough space?

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      At the time of writing we have limited availability for our 9-Day Iona, Mull, Skye & Orkney from Edinburgh on 1st May 2026, with there being currently 7 seats left.

      Greg

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      would they be close in proximity? they are all couples so they can do the double rooms.
      If they choose not to go this route - how much is it to upgrade to the hotel option and would they all be in the same hotel?

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes, we would try to keep them as close as we can. You can view current tour prices clicking on the tour page and selecting the hotel option instead.

      Please note that we are not able to guarantee they would all be together even if they chose the hotel option, as that is subject to availability. We will try to keep them together, but we can't guarantee it.

    • G

      Greg

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      Also they were inquiring about booking the hotel in Edinburgh, a night before so they can check right in upon arrival. Can we do this through you - or do I do it serperate?

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      We don't collaborate with any hotels in Edinburgh, but we can send you a list of places to contact near our departure point if you are stuck.

    Marina

    Asked on December 17th, 2025

    How do we know how much time is sitting in the bus and traveling vs getting out and walking around? How do we know how much free time we have in each location? Is there anyway to stop at St. Andrews Golf Course while we are on this tour?

    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      Generally speaking we try to stop every 1.5 hours or so. This can be anything from a short photo stop, to longer walks and at least 1.5 hours over lunch. On this tour there are several opportunities to have walks of 45 minutes or so, and in the case of Iona, you can either spend 3+ hours exploring the island, or if you would prefer, part of that time visiting the Isle of Staffa.

      I'm afraid this tour is focused on the Highlands, Inner Hebrides and Orkney, but will not be visiting St Andrews or Fife. Please note that we at Rabbie's do offer a one day tour to St Andrews from Edinburgh, although St Andrews is one of the few locations on our tours which is fairly easy to get to by public transport (in this case by bus).

      Tour radar shows there are 6 available spots but Rabbie's just told me that the tour is fully booked. I'm very disappointed that your site shows spots that are unavailable.

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      Sorry for the confusion here. I can confirm this tour on 10th September is fully booked. Are there any other days you could travel? We currently have availability for 2 passengers on 24th, 26th and 29th September.
