Best trip of our lives (thank you to our Tour Guide Kenan)
Our guide Kenan was AMAZING! He did a great job telling us bits of history about places we passed by (both at our stops and random fun facts) and was filled with a positive optimism and demeanor. We loved his humor! He even went the extra mile and did a quick stop for a kid who wanted to see some Highland Cows (with some awesome pictures to come from it for everyone!) If there was an opportunity along our route to get out and take some pictures of awesome scenery, he was more than happy to do it. It was clear that he really loved his country and was excited to share that love with us all. My husband and I both said that it was one of the best days of our lives, and that he was a part of making that experience so enjoyable. He took the time to joke with us all and get to know us and where we were from and were comfortable. Directions from him were clear when told where to be picked up after each excursion, and was professional all throughout the trip. He also told us for our stops some shops and good places to eat so we weren’t just dropped without an idea of what to do. Whatever this man is being paid, TRIPLE IT! Thank you Kenan for making our trip so amazing!

You can’t go wrong with Rabbies!
I had a fantastic time on this trip. Rabbies absolutely nails it every time I take a trip with them. Jeff lead this one and was lovely! He gave us good information and plenty of time to see everything. He made us feel part of the trip. 10/10 recommend!!!

Best way to visit Highlands!
The whole experience was worth every single penny spent. We covered so much in so little time. If you want to visit Highlands and have no car, this is the only best way to do so. Our tour guide, the Big Al (Allen) was fabulous. He recommended us local food and whiskey in Glasgow and while on tour, he made sure that we had a good time. He was a great storyteller with good sense of humour. He gave us timely breaks at delicious food spots.
10/10 recommended.

Must do tour out of Glasgow!! Highlight of our trip!
Our day tour to Loch Ness and the Highlands from Glasgow with Old Cameron was absolutely incredible — my friend and I both agreed it was the highlight of our entire trip!
Cameron was a phenomenal storyteller. He didn’t just share facts about the places we visited; he brought them to life with fascinating stories, local lore, and history about the landscapes we were traveling through. His passion for Scotland truly made the journey unforgettable.
The tour was thoughtfully planned, with every stop adding something special to the experience. One of the most memorable moments was Cameron making sure we got to see Highland cows — it was such a magical experience and a perfect Scottish moment!
We had the best time and would absolutely take another Rabbie’s tour with Old Cameron again. He made the day truly special, and we’re so grateful for the memories.

A worthwhile excursion! Better than cruise line selections.
The walk to the castle is on level ground. You are given enough time to get there and back to the bus without hurrying. Our tour guide (can't remember her name) was so good. She knew so much about the area and the history behind it. She even knew about the connection with the movie Brigadoon.

Great value for your money!
We had a wonderful time on this day tour, in large part due to our guide, James. He is knowledgeable, engaging and has a great sense of humor - a delight to spend the day with! We enjoyed all the stops (especially the Kelpies and St. Andrews) - James gave us a good overview of the sights and we were therefore able to explore and enjoy the time we had there. Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic
Liz did a great job showing us all of the various murals around the city. We had her earlier in the day for the central tour, and we were afraid that we would see the same artwork during this tour. Luckily everything that she showed us was very new/different. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and will be recommending it to our friends.

Plenty of space on the...
Plenty of space on the bus (we went on a weekday). Jack W was our tour guide and I appreciated all the knowledge he had as well as his own personal insight and experiences! I had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well timed day trip!

Fun and different you should do it!
This was a great different tour around the city. It’s not so much a guided tour but they did tell you about a few places. But they were both fun and super friendly. The food was surprisingly very tasty and enjoyable. A glass of prosecco and a coffee or tea were included but extra drinks were available for purchase. Met some nice people who were also in the tour we went to Sloans and then to china sea for dinner so turned out to be an all around great day.

Would highly recommend this trip
This was an excellent tour round most of the major places in the city. As a proud native of Glasgow l really enjoyed Luke’s very informative commentary, a mix of information and humour which l thought was pitched absolutely right. Brian was our driver on two of the stages and gave ample time for safe embarking and disembarking.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Highlands landscapes, historic castles, and windswept islands are just a day trip away from Glasgow. In fact, the city makes an ideal starting point for exploring the Scottish countryside. These Glasgow day trips whisk you from city streets to regions of moors and lochs, and some feature stops to sample Scottish whisky from famed distilleries. Whether you're seeking the perfect hiking trail or following in the footsteps of Outlander, you'll have access to an informative guide and round-trip transportation from and to the city.
