We had a wonderful experience visiting Highlands and Loch Ness with Rabbie's! Our guide Jim was very helpful and friendly, he taught us many interesting cultural and historical facts about Scotland. We took a boat trip and, even though we didn't manage to spot Nessie, the view there was spectacular and "Highlands hot chocolate with whiskey" was a great thing. We recommend this trip to everyone ~!

Brilliant day of touring around with Neil who was knowledgeable and passionate - gutted to have missed puffin season but saw seals - well recommended trip

Doug was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge, keen sense of humour, ability to communicate with the tour group, and absolute dedication to giving us the best possible experience was everything I could’ve hoped for. He instilled a love for Scotland, and empathy for the history. The stops along the way were fantastic! Everyone loved meeting Dougall and Hamish the Highland cows. Thank you Doug, your patience and professionalism made the very long day a day to remember for years to come. ~Irma

We travel with Neil! The trip was amazing and he was a lovely guide! The experience was incredible. I highly recommended. A great way to see Inverness and to know a bit of its history

A wonderful all encompassing trip, mountains, sea, countryside and castles. Entertaining and informative. Well worth the money

It was wonderfull. There were long walks to site. I think that should be mentioned in the tour information. I have trouble walking distances. Our tour guide was great.

We were fortunate to once again have the charming Jim for our guide through lovely Speyside, home to many of the worlds most renowned single malt whiskey. His insight into the history of the area added greatly to our tour experience. Watching whiskey barrels be refurbished by experienced Coopers, who go through extensive training and are often children and grandchildren of Coopers who have come before them. Cardhu provided an excellent tour of the distillery and the process of making whiskey. Once again it was our tour guide, Jim, who made the long day fly by with interesting anecdotes. Loved this tour!

Wonderful day spent with Jim, the entertaining and informative leader of our tour to the Northeast coast of Scotland. All along the way Jim added insight to the passing parade of countryside, villages, rugged coastline, and extraordinary offshore formations. I had Cullen Skink for the first time and highly recommend it. Thanks to Jim and Rabbies for a first class tour experience.

At some point in the beginning of the tour Jim, our guide said something along the lines that weather makes the difference between a good and a great tour. On this point I respectfully disagree and would instead say that is the quality of the tour guide that makes a tour truly special, and Jim is one of those tour guides that at every opportunity went above and beyond to make this one of the best day trips I have experienced while on holiday. At every stop Jim was knowledgeable and understanding, and his specific insights were crucial in getting better seats on the boat on the Loch or proving deeper understanding into the other pit stops along the way. I would greatly recommend this tour to anyone who has never experienced the Highlands Before as the scenery is awe inspiring and magical.

Yesterday we went on the 12-hour Highlands trip with Jim. It was phenomenal. Really beautiful scenery. Lots of interesting places. Jim was a fabulous guide and had many interesting facts to tell us. It is a lot of driving so you need to enjoy the aspect of taking in the scenery. Next time I would like to try the distillery tour. Jim is considered one of Scotland's sheep experts, so be sure and ask him all your sheep questions (you will see thousands of them)!

I was sceptical about the quality of the tour as I had read some not entirely flattering reviews about it. However, nothing could be further from the truth! You don't spend most of your time on the bus at all, but yes a fair amount of it, but given that it's quite a second route from Aberdeen to the Inverness area I think this is perfectly normal. Besides, by spending some time on the road we were able to enjoy the beautiful Scottish countryside. Our guide Jim was very friendly, from the start of the tour he told all sorts of interesting facts about the places we drove past, he was also very funny, a truly wonderful man who loves his job. Between the attractions and riding in a very comfortable bus from which we had a great view of the surrounding countryside we had our comfortable breaks for a toilet, a cigarette or to stretch our bones. We were in the town of Tomintoul famous for its whisky where it was possible to have a tasting and buy some lovely souvenirs, we admired several Scottish castles, rivers and other beauties of the Cairngorms National Park from behind the windows, we also had the opportunity to see several whisky and gin distilleries. We also went, despite being delayed by a car accident that happened on the road, to Clava Cairns - the ancient gravestones that probably provided the inspiration for Craigh na Dun in Outlander (and we are big fans). We also went to the Culloden battlefield where we had plenty of time to admire the site and delve into the history of the Jacobite uprising, Jim also gave us lots of information about the battle. It was wonderful to learn about the history of the brave Scots and to see the site where the last battle in the islands was fought. We then went to the famous Lake Loch Ness, we were able to purchase tickets for the cruise from our driver-guide Jim at a small discount this was a very nice touch. I think everyone who was there has no regrets the place was breathtaking, the lake cruise was just as wonderful and comfortable, I would recommend going there to anyone. We also visited the small town of Carrbridge it was very charming especially the bridge there. The history of the town is also interesting. A lovely moment of the trip was a close encounter with two Scottish Highland cows - Donald and Hamish we were delighted. I would highly recommend Rabbies services to anyone, the tour was well organised ran in a relaxed atmosphere and there was no shortage of activities. If you want to see a bit of Scotland without the hassle of changing buses and planning it yourself then this is for you. I will definitely use their services again :) :)

A wonderful one day tour of the north east coast of Scotland! We were incredibly lucky with the weather and the sun was shining almost all the time, the wind was calm. Our driver and tour guide, Jim, brightened the driving time with very interesting and meaningful stories. The places and towns where we stayed were very beautiful and the nice weather made it possible to enjoy them in every way.

The full day tour gives full value for the money - and certainly when you are lucky to have a fantastic guide as Neill: Knowledgeable, a fantastic story-teller, though factual, and not shy of generously sharing his insights into the rich Scottish history and unique landscapes. It is a dense and ambitious day programme, possibly not for everyone. But for others like me, you will not find a better Highlands and beautiful Speyside live crash course! Warmly recommended.

A good day with a very informative guide. A combination of historic sites and a visit to Loch Ness. An enjoyable day but the inclusion of bridges might be substituted for another item of interest. Doug was a pleasant, informative, and professional guide/driver.

The tour very much lived up to our expectations. Spectacular views and good walks. The driver was friendly, knowledgeable and witty. We would like to have seen the puffins, but unfortunately they leave in August.
