Mother Nature on Full Display - A Must See Experience

munozva, Aug 2025

Liam was an amazing driver and tour guide. His relaxed demeanor and thoughtful explanations, beautifully complemented the natural beauty of green mossy grass, interrupted by either boulders, the sea, sandy beaches, lakes or tributaries. Mother nature on full display. Lewis and Harris Isles are a must see on your Scotland vacation.

I loved this trip but the guide made a point of telling us how his family all had the flu and he was probably to get sick but he nobly would still take the tour. He did get sick and then made my husband so ill that it ruined the next week of our holiday

windswept solitude

Maria_Q, Sep 2024

The stories from our guide/driver Liam, the closeness of the group in numbers (max of 16), the gaelic overtures, and of course the sites you wont see elsewhere but the Outer Hebrides. Btw, you can book directly through Rabbies.com. Seamless

A truly memorable and worthwhile experience.

Edith_R, Aug 2024

The millions of sheep, the wide variation in landscape, the historic buildings, the guide's knowledge and pleasant nature

Wonderful experience!

Carol_M, Jun 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip! Kev was an excellent tour guide! So pleased we were able to visit with a weaver on Lewis. We really appreciated all the information Kev narrated along the way about the history of the area and of the places we visited. Kev's easy going nature kept the trip relaxing. We enjoyed the Dunroamin B&B accommodations immensely as well. Our host, Donnie, was a hoot ( and an excellent breakfast chef!) I will happily recommend Rabbies!

3days of something completely different

Peta_W, Oct 2022

Absolutely fabulous 3 days. Saw all the island and didn’t feel rushed. Learnt about the history. Great mixed group of people and Helen our tour guide was just lovely Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Amazing Journey to the Past

BWAYNE_H, May 2022

This three day journey with Kev and Willi was absolutely brilliant. Intending to do this trip alone, I opted to join this outing and could have never seen or done any of the visits that these fine gentlemen shared with our group. It was like a trip back to yesteryear learning about the past of Hebrides. I was completely gobsmacked by the beautiful sandy beaches and amazing countryside that I woke up to each morning. The lodging was exceptional and served a wonderful breakfast to begin each day.

A fantastic trip!

Gisele_W, Jun 2019

Our tour guide/driver Kevin was very professional and responsible safe driver. He cared for the passengers, and took interest in making sure we were safe and comfortable. Thank you very much Rabbies. We will definitely book with this company again.

Fabulous

Delphine_B, Sep 2025

Fabulous experience on this tour. Kev, our guide, was incredibly kind. He managed this tour, composed only of women 😀 I highly recommend

Ideal solo or with a partner who will make you laugh

Laureen_W, Jul 2025

The positives: the organization, the timing was respected, the choice of bed and breakfast made by the organizer was top. The negatives: anecdotes, sometimes redundant, stops not necessarily necessary and others put aside (because it seems that the company with which we traveled did not agree with some places, yet very touristic and requested...) The quality of this type of tour often depends on the group you fall into. If the group is not open to exchanges, it creates a special Mood. In conclusion: Lewis and Harris deserve the stay. Very good Price quality ratio.
