    Asked on November 3rd, 2024

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

    Payments
    Price / Availability
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten November 2024

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

  • R

    Rob

    Asked on September 6th, 2024

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

    Accommodation
    • R

      Rob

      TravelerWritten September 2024

      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 ToursOperatorWritten 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.

    Are triple rooms available on the tour?

    Accommodation
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

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

  • K

    Ken

    Asked on June 30th, 2024

    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?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten June 2024

      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.
