    Stephan was soooo excellent and had such great stories and music to accompany us throughout the trip! Weather did not stop him even though a major storm interrupted our itinerary on Isle of Skye, he valiantly drove the tiny roads in pouring rain and winds to show us as many sites as possible!

    Was good tour package but unfortunately the weather was bad (during stormy rain) so could not visit a few sites on itinerary in first 2 days. Driver/Guide Sinclair was excellent and always put safety first for his group.

    Was an amazing tour through Highlands. Stopped at some amazing locations. Fairy pools and visiting Lake to spot Loch Ness were highlights. Our Tour Guide Micheal was great, told cool stories about Fairies and Giants, talked about Queens and Kings and History. Also had a cool playlist with Scottish music. Had a great time. Would recommend this Tour!!

    This tour exceeded my expectations. I was overwhelmed at the beautiful rolling hills, Lochs, waterfalls, winding roads, leaves falling from the colourful autumn trees abd castles.

    Our tour with Graeme was fantastic ! He was wonderfully informative about the history, geography and geology of Scotland, and he was a very conservative driver. The van was comfortable, and Graeme made regular comfort stops in addition to numerous sightseeing and food stops. I highly recommend this tour for someone who wants a unique overview of the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye without the chaos and crowds of a large bus tour. However, our accommodation in Ullapool (booked through Tour Radar) was barely adequate; a cramped bedroom with the smallest bathroom I've seen outside of a camper van.

    Evelyn

    Asked on November 25th, 2025

    We are trying to plan a trip for 2027. We are thinking about 10-12 days. We would like to see Islay, Skye, Isles of Harris and Tweed, some of the beautiful highlands of Scotland and some of the standing stones, some of the NC500 if possible. The children might like to see The Horses sculpture, to roam around the standing stones and short walks through the highlands as well as some of your quaint villages.

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      We would like Rabbie's to book hotel accommodation. We would all like to be close together as much as possible and as close to the centre of town as possible.

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      We do not have rates for 2027 yet, so would not be able to start the planning just yet. Are you able to get back to us around June 2026? By then, we should have rates for 2027 and will be able to send you a proposal.

    • Rabbie's ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      We do all of our planning via email as drafting an itinerary or pricing over the phone is not really possible. Please note that for private tours, we can run any of these itineraries on a private basis, or make small amendments to them to better suit your needs, or just create a fully bespoke itinerary from scratch.
