Alístair was a wonderful guide. His cheery disposition and awesome playlist made this journey through the lowlands very enjoyable. You can tell he really appreciates the history of Scotland as he retells history on your way from site to site. Rosslyn Chapel is uniquely beautifully and in itself with the journey. Melrose Abbey is a wonder and the staff at Glenkinchie is the meaning of good hospitality.

Great tour with Graham!
This was an amazing small group tour with an equally amazing driver/guide (Graham). We learned so much about not only our destinations but the places in between and the history of Scotland itself. We booked this last minute rather than taking transit out to Rosslyn Chapel and I'm so glad we did! We saw & learned so much more than we could have on our own.

The tour was fantastic....
The tour was fantastic. Jillian was a wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable guide and made every effort to make sure everyone was having fun. The tour locations were close enough to Edinburgh that we never spent too much time driving and had plenty of time at each location. The tour van was also nice and clean and had usb ports for phones (a big plus for me!) Highly recommend- I’ll definitely book through the same company next time I’m visiting!

Fabulous day out
Tour guide was fabulous. Great storyteller and very funny. This was my zillionth Rabbies tour and I'll keep coming back. I love the small coach (16 people max) and the intimate experience vs a giant bus that seats 70 people. Short"ish" day trip about 6.5 hours. Excellent. So worth the money.
