Top Scotland Day Trips - page 34

Our second time with Rabbie’s and first time in Scotland. Russell was a tremendous guide, very funny and knowledgeable. We visited Stirling Castle first, as to avoid the later crowds. Then we got time to see some Highland Coos, head to Loch Lomond and then the Kelpies. Russell was also kind enough to show us the bridges on the River Forth!

This experience was above what I expected. Our guides, Shug and Josh, were FABULOUS! The history and their stories, and the singing, were more than I expected. They were kind, informative, on time and full of information. I truly can not say enough. I am so glad I went on this tour during my quick stay here. Edinburgh had made an impression on my heart and soul. Thank you, Shug and Josh! I hope to see you again-maybe over a glass of 40 year old Macallan. 🥃

Sean was very knowledgeable, engaging and accommodating. We were on tour busses all week long and Rabbies tour with Sean as our personal Highland protector and the captain of our conveyance was the best part of trip. Long live the "Son of a Gatekeeper "

Our full-day tour of the Scotland Highlands was absolutely incredible! The landscapes were breathtaking, and every stop along the way felt like something out of a postcard. From dramatic mountains to beautiful lochs, the scenery alone made the experience unforgettable. What really made the tour special, though, were our guides, Kyle and Brian. Both of them shared their own personal stories about the region, including memories from their childhoods, which added such a unique and authentic touch to the tour. It felt less like a scripted tour and more like exploring the Highlands with locals who truly love where they live. The banter between Kyle and Brian kept everyone laughing and made the 9-hour tour fly by. It never once felt long or tiring because they kept the energy fun and engaging the entire time. Kyle also did a fantastic job making sure everyone was comfortable on the bus. He regularly checked in to make sure the temperature was just right so the bus was never too hot or too cold. Brian’s knowledge of Scottish history was impressive. As we passed different landmarks, he shared fascinating stories and context about the places around us, which made the scenery even more meaningful and interesting. Another highlight was the size of the tour. With a smaller group of about 12–16 people, it felt very personal. The guides actually took the time to get to know everyone, greeted us by name, and had real conversations throughout the day. It created a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They also recommended a fantastic lunch spot during one of our stops, and we never felt rushed at any point during the day. The pacing of the tour was perfect. Overall, this was an amazing experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Scotland. The guides truly made the trip memorable. 5/5 stars for both the guides and the tour!

What an amazing tour, Murray our guide was just brilliant, thank you so much. He was a very good driver and was very caring making sure that we were kept informed. We had regular stops at cafes etc that were very accommodating. Murray was very knowledgeable and informative , whilst also being fun We would recommend this day trip to everyone if you have a spare day. You get to do and see so much. The added trip to Urquart castle and the boat trip on Loch Ness was worth every penny Thank you for a wonderful day Murray , we made so many memories

Fraiser or Fraser (forgive me for the spelling if I got it wrong) has good Scottish sense of humor. I kept laughing quietly and a few slightly loud ones😆 He deliver his historic accounts with passion and his music choices are a plus. He gave practical advises on board for clueless passengers like us especially on toilet breaks. We had a really comfy ride. We’ve learned alot, including “wees’”, “ayy!”and “nooooh”😆😂 Most importantly, my 13 year old son have special needs and Fraser was very patient. He is genuinely kind and warm. Great lad. An absolute 10/10🤍

I had a lovely time. Jeff C from Glasgow was phenomenal (not to be confused with Jeff from Edinburgh, I don’t know that guy). He knew so much history which was much appreciated and he was also really funny. I really wanted to see Highland Cows and he made sure that I got to. We covered so much of the Scottish countryside I would’ve never got to see otherwise. Would 100% recommend for anyone!

Best tour we have taken so far. Meet up was easy and simple. Bus was nice. Tour guide, Turquil was absolutely marvelous; amusing, highly entertaining, highly knowledgeable and you could tell he had a real pride and love for his country and lands. Cruise was nice. The castle was incredible. We have been to many, this was the best so far, and the time of day was perfect for pictures. The village we lunched at was very quaint and the priory there was very nice. The distillery was good, quality whiskey. The Cairn stones were majestic. Now, the Culloden Battle Fields, this is a humbling experience. Highly suggest spending the money to go through the museum first and then walking the fields. If you have any sense of imagination and love of history, you will feel the events. Highly, highly recommend this tour.
