Excellent day tour to Loch Ness and the Highlands of Scotland
If you’re looking for the perfect Loch Ness and Highlands adventure from Edinburgh, ask for Magnus! He was an excellent tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable about Scotland’s history, culture, myths, nature, and the breathtaking Highlands.
We were lucky enough to catch one of the most incredible weather days, and Magnus made the experience unforgettable. He shared honest and fascinating stories about Scotland, including both the real history and the legendary myths surrounding Loch Ness and the Highlands.
Magnus kept everything perfectly on time, drove safely and comfortably throughout the journey, and made every stop feel special. From the lochs of Scotland to the stunning scenery of the Highlands, his passion and knowledge truly brought the country to life.
Highly recommend this tour and especially Magnus if you want an authentic Scottish adventure!

Go for it!
This was a wonderful tour with plenty of short stops to see sights and stretch your legs. Martin did a great job as our driver and guide. The audio was clearly understood and he interjected stories, music and humor along with history. Highly recommend this tour.

Fun experience!
Our tour was with Saif, who made it such a fun experience! He was funny and very knowledgable, and made the tour a fun, interactive experience that bonded the passengers. Very thoughtful and intentional tour guide. We felt so lucky to get him.
The tour destinations were comprehensive and covered so much. Lots of stops, a massive variety of scenery, and a good amount of time for lunch and shopping in the middle.

A must for Outlander and Monty Python fans
Douglas was a great host! This is a great trip to fill in some of the lesser known/not as popular gaps in your itinerary. Doune Castle was a highlight, a must for fans of Outlander or Monty Python. We fitted in a lot of stops, on a well planned route by Discover Scotland. Great craic!

Loch Ness tour
The tour was amazing with so much to see throughout the trip. We visited beautiful places, enjoyed great shops and restaurants, and the Loch Ness cruise was really fun and one of the highlights of the tour.
Dave was a great driver who kept the journey enjoyable with interesting stories and a friendly attitude, helping make the whole experience memorable.”

Great Tour - Outlander Fan or Not!
We are so happy we did the Outlander tour with Rabbie’s! Jamie was an excellent guide, not only did he give us background from the filming locations, but covered the real Scottish history of many locations. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the tour and has never seen Outlander. We highly recommend this tour for anyone!

Fun all day get away from Edinburgh
Super fun and amazing hosts. The tour company does hire pretty knowledgeable folks that gave us lots of facts and pointed out several highlights along our route. We had Jaime driving (excellent navigation of the scary roads) and Graig who was just so fun and welcoming. It’s a full day so be prepared for an early morning departure. The highlight is Stirling castle but the views getting there are spectacular and worth the trip.

Excellent day tour that hits all the highlights! Recommend Recommend
We had a lovely day with our fabulous tour guide Karen. She was fun and shared useful and interesting information. There were so many interesting stops and activities. Enjoyed the Loch Ness boat ride over to Urquhart Castle. The castle grounds were very neat to see and the film in the visitor center was informative. Next we went to Singleton distillery for a wee dram of whisky. Stopped in Beauly for delicious lunch and visit to the Pirory. Culloden Battle field with a separate paid tour was fascinating and sad. Ending the day was a stop to see the Clava Cairins, 4000 year old Bronze age stone circles and burial cairins. Well done day tour. Recommend to others.

5/5 - Highly Recommended
Karen, our tour guide, was phenomenal! The tour takes you along breathtaking scenery - along castles and lochs and everything in between. Karen did an excellent job of pointing out the scenery while also driving expertly, so that we didn’t have to worry about it. Bring a camera! There is so much to take in

Wee Davie brings the highlands to life
What a fantastic tour of the Highlands, all brought to life by the commentary and wit of Wee Davie. So many interesting points mentioned, and top class scenery, from Loch Lomond to Loch Ness, Ben Nevis, stories of the clans and battles, and the highland ‘coos’.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, a great way to spend a day in Scotland

Spring Break in Edinburgh
Lane was an excellent driver & tour guide. He was very knowledgeable & funny.
Take a portable charger because you'll take loads of pictures.
Glencoe was so packed with other tour busses, so Lane took us down to another beautiful spot for pictures.
Try the whiskey & chocolate ice cream combo in Pitlochry, so yummy.

Isle of Skye in winter
Really enjoyed this trip. Beautiful scenery and the tour guide provided a lot of information about the geography and the history of the people who settled here. Can’t wait to return to see what it looks like when it is warmer and the plants have bloomed.
