    Ashley

    Asked on December 24th, 2025

    I'm interested in this tour. I couldn't find a way to contact direct from your website. On your website the cost doesn't currently include accommodation so I wanted to find out for 2 adults (one is senior) for a TWIN room - what would be the total tour cost including accommodation? I also wondered if we need to pay separately for any attractions? And if travelling to Isle of Staffa, will we have opportunity to see Puffins?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      When booking through TourRadar, the booking will include the cost of accommodation. You should be able to view pricing on the TourRadar website - the price does vary depending on the month you travel. For April, you are looking at £932 per person for a twin room (B&B package). There aren't any attractions included in this tour, these would be paid for on the day directly to the supplier. You do have the option for a boat tour to Staffa on Day 2 (which is around £45 per person). Puffins do nest on Staffa, typically between May-August. It can be a possibility to see them in April, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that you would get to see them, as it will depend on their nesting habits at that time.

    • A

      Ashley

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      If we were to book this trip my understanding is meals and attraction costs are extra. Can you please tell me: 1) is breakfast included if we book B&B (or hotel) option? 2) if we say 'yes' to all the attractions, what the approx total cost I should budget per person to pay for those so I can check this is all in budget?

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      Breakfasts are included with B&B's and Hotels. That being said, the second day starts pretty early, so in this case you may have to get up before breakfast is available. There are no pre-bookable attractions on this tour. However, the optional, non pre-bookable attractions for the 5 day Iona, Mull and the Isle of Skye tour include: - Entrance to Iona Abbey - £10.50 per person - A boat tour to the Isle of Staffa - £40 per person - Eilean Donan Castle - £12 per person

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      Our buses are 16-seaters, so this is the maximum amount of people you will be travelling with. We have guaranteed departures, so even if the tour is not full we still run it.

    Valérie

    Asked on February 9th, 2025

    What is the luggage allowance on the tour?

    Transport
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      The luggage allowance is 20kg per person. This includes one piece of luggage similar to an airline carry-on bag and a small bag for personal items onboard.

    Stephen

    Asked on February 7th, 2025

    What are the accommodation options during the tour?

    Accommodation
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      The tour provides options for either a B&B or hotel accommodation which both include breakfast. You will need to cover the cost of other meals and any entry fees to attractions.

    I am a senior and will be traveling alone. How does this affect cost?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      The cost of the tour will vary depending on the month you travel. The cost can be found on the TourRadar page when you check for availability. As a solo traveller, a single supplement will be automatically applied as you proceed through the booking on TourRadar. If you have any specific travel dates in mind, I would be happy to check the cost for you as well.

  • B

    Benjamin

    Asked on November 2nd, 2024

    Does the price include Accommodations. If so, can you have three adults in one room

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten November 2024

      The price does indeed include accommodation. You can request three adults in one room however it all depends on the availability of our suppliers because a "family" room which allows three people in one room is quite rare. If we can then great but if not it'll be 1x single and 1x double or twin room.

  • O

    Oliver

    Asked on August 10th, 2024

    Are twin beds available in a room for two persons?

    Accommodation
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

      Twin rooms are indeed available. You should be able to select a twin room option when you book the tour; this is a room with two single beds.

    Charles

    Asked on February 18th, 2024

    Do you stop at the Glenfinnan viaduct between Fort William and Plockton/Balmacara? Is it possible to add on another of your tours to the end of this one, the 3-Day Lewis, Harris and the Outer Hebrides Small Group Tour from Inverness?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2024

      A visit to the Glenfinnan Viaduct is not included in the itinerary for this tour. We do go past the area but there is not a stop there. The only tour we have that visits Glenfinnan is our 4-day Ile of Skye & West Highlands tour. We are unable to combine these 2 tours as part of your package, but you are able to just book it separately if the dates match up.

      Charles

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Can I confirm availability on Isle of Skye & West Highlands 4 day tour departing on Monday 22nd April for 2 Adults in a twin room, and then the Mull & Iona 3 day tour on Friday 26th April? Can you confirm if these dates work and there is availability?

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten February 2024

      We do have the availability that you have requested, though currently only 4 seats left on the 4-day Skye tour for 22nd April. On return to Edinburgh on Thursday evening you will be able to catch a train from Edinburgh Waverley train station to Glasgow Queen Street. We do not provide a transfer option between cities as public transport is pretty good between these 2 cities.
