The van was very comfortable, however the roads are extremely rough and with a stiff suspension you feel every cranny! So take ur Dramamine! Our driver Russell was Stellar! So kind, so knowledgeable, and sparked some great conversation with the whole group!

Great pubs, great hosts, highly recommended

This was my second time with Adelle and Esther and we had an absolutely fantastic time!! The choice of pubs is even better than it used to be, the hosts are wonderful, and I can only recommend joining them for a good night out - alone or with friends.

3-Day Isle of Skye and Scottish Highlands from Edinburgh

Tracey_W, Mar 2026

Great experience in the Highlands

Overall it was a great experience. Nathan was our guide and provided a lot of information as we were driving to and from the Highlands which helped our journey go a bit faster. Overall it’s a good itinerary, you certainly get to see the highlights of the Highlands and Isle of the Sky. The coach was fairly comfortable but no place to set personal items down (phone, jacket, water bottle, etc.) so you had to have everything on your lap. There was a space above for small backpacks. Regarding our accommodations, we booked a B&B through the tour. Others on our tour did not book their hotels with Rabbies but did it on their own. Their accommodations were in town which was much more convenient to restaurants. We had a 12 min walk to the town, which is ok but we had horrible weather and walking in the cold rain was not fun. Before our trip, I had a few questions about our tour and they replied quickly. So, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to them.

Shivers down the spine

We did the Greyfriars Kirkyard & Vaults tour with Jordan, who gave us a good feeling about life in the early days of Edinburgh and gave us the shivers with his stories about the ghosts haunting the graveyard and the Vaults . Reality enjoyed and recommend anyone to do this tour while in Edinburgh , it is a must !!

3 Highland Experience Tour Review

I took 3 Highland Experience Tours...Loch Ness et al tour, Glenfinnan Viaduct et al tour, and this one. By far, the BEST of the three. Do not miss!! Loch Ness was ok but only if you take the cruise which is extra and just get the book for Glenfinnan. Both Loch Ness and Glenfinnan uses predominantly the same route so no need to do both. But this one, an absolute MUST! Audrey for Loch Ness and Kenny for this one were Superb!!

Old Town Walking Tour History and Tales in Edinburgh

Scott_B, Feb 2026

Great tour in Edinburgh old town by Ben C!

Easy to find starting point. Our guide was Ben C, he was very knowledgable and entertaining. He presented a good pace and gave just the right amount of information. There were children on the tour and he engaged brilliantly with them, he encouraged questions and chat amongst the group. He kindly looked after the group and ensured their safety on a busy day in Edinburgh. Basically, can’t recommend this trip enough.

The people who wrote bad...

The people who wrote bad reviews because they didn't actually experience something paranormal are silly. Yes, it is unlikely that you will experience something paranormal on this trip, but it is entertaining, insightful, and makes you think about how horrific history can be.

Perfect tour to learn a bit about the city in an hour

This tour was short at sweet, and while not terribly "haunted", was a great way to learn a bit more about the city and it's architecture. Our host, James, was informative and seemed like a perfect fit for the tour! Also, this is majority indoors, so it's a good tour while raining
