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?

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.

How many individuals are on the van/bus?

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.

What is the luggage allowance on the tour?

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.

What are the accommodation options during the tour?

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?

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.

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

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.

Are twin beds available in a room for two persons?

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.

I want to get insurance for this trip...can you help?

TourRadar offers insurance through a self-service, external partner, Cover Genius. You can add this at the time of booking via the "Book Now" page. If you have a confirmed booking, please see your booking conversation page and click on the "Get Travel Insurance" button to receive a quote.

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?

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.

Is accommodation included in the tour?

When you make a booking through TourRadar, it is sold as a package so the tour and accommodation are included in the price.

The tour itinerary was lovely. The issue I had was with our guide, Keith. He was a driver, but really not a guide. He did not get out of the bus to show us around. He gave us a little bit of verbal instruction before we stopped, then sat in the bus scrolling on his phone the entire time we were finding our way around. In addition, he spent a lot of time making fun of tourists from prior tours, made fun of Americans, and tourists in general. He was generally insulting and as he would make snarky remarks if you asked a question I was afraid to even talk to him. I figured I would become fodder for his next tour making fun of me. Overall, he took a lot of the pleasure out of the journey. I was not alone in this feeling. I was the only solo tourist on this trip, so I frequently became the butt of his jokes. It got pretty old pretty quickly. In addition, he joked about the fact that he was not filling up the bus like he should and we might be short of gas getting back to Edinburgh. We did not find that funny. Fortunately we made it. We were also subjected to about a 1.5 hour lecture on the current state of Scottish politics. That was not what we were on tour for.Show more

  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 ToursOperator•Written 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

  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.

- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written 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.
