Can we join the tour at a later date and still pay the full tour price?

You can join the tour after its start, particularly by starting on the second day, but the full price still applies.

What is the difference between the B and B and Hotel (other than price)?

Are breakfasts included at either the Bed and Breakfast or the Hotel accommodations? Do the Bed and Breakfast accommodations have ensuite/private bathrooms?

Is there a parking facility available at the departure point?

Details about parking availability are not specified, please reach out via the Ask a Question button for this information.

Are triple rooms available on the tour?

We can request triple rooms at some locations when booking, but cannot guarantee their availability.

Would a train ride from Edinburgh to London be the best way to go? Also, should we schedule the trip to London the same day this tour ends or do we get back too late and would need to schedule it for the next morning?

You can either take a train or fly to London. Both options available from Edinburgh. The tour finishes at approximately 7pm on the last day, so I would recommend booking an extra night in Edinburgh and travelling the next day.

What types of payment are accepted for the tour?

Please use the Ask a Question button to inquire about accepted payment methods.

What are the options for accommodation like on the tour?

Accommodation options like B&Bs and hotel packages are available as part of the tour.

The itinerary is generally fixed, but you can reach out via the Ask a Question button to discuss any specific requests.

How much luggage can I bring on the tour?

You are restricted to 20kg (44lbs) per person, including a carry-on bag and a small personal item.

Wonderful tour, our guide, Keith was excellent. He made us feel same while traveling, he didn't rush us and gave us enough time at all the stops. His knowledge of history, geography and geology is impressive and all the information he gave was pertinent and interesting. He also shared some of his personal stories as we'll as read us some of his favorite passages from pertinent books. His playlist was also very very good. Anyone is sure to have a great time with keith from young to old - PaulShow more

  Are breakfasts included at either the Bed and Breakfast or the Hotel accommodations? Do the Bed and Breakfast accommodations have ensuite/private bathrooms?
- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written September 2024
  B&Bs are traditionally small family owned and run properties offering a handful of guest rooms. They are usually residential properties, so they tend to be located on the outskirts of towns and you should be prepared for a 20-30 minute walk to local facilities like pubs and restaurants. It's unusual for a B&B to offer any additional services like concierge, porterage, evening meals or room-service. If you have difficulty with stairs, please request a ground-floor room as lifts will not be available in this type of property. Hotels vary in size but tend to be larger properties run by a team of staff. They usually have a relatively central location but may be up to a 20-30 minute walk from local facilities. They are often housed in traditional old buildings and bathrooms are always for private use and are typically en-suite. The services and facilities offered by hotels varies considerably so you should make a special request at the time of booking if you expect anything specific such as concierge, porterage, bar, restaurant, room service etc. If you have difficulty with stairs, please let us know so that we can either book a ground floor room or a hotel with lift access, if available. Breakfast would be included with either accommodation, and the room would be ensuite/have a private bathroom in either accommodation.
