Our driver was Colin and he stepped in for a sick coworker. As a first time tour guide for Orkney, Colin was informative, funny, courteous, personable and open to suggestions for new or alternate sites. He was a very cautious drive and concerned for our safety. We enjoyed our 3 day Orkney trip with Colin very much

I'm so glad I went on this tour! Lewis and Harris is an amazing, beautiful, wild place to see and being in a small group was for me the best way to do it. Helen took great care of all of us and was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and Scotland. She was entertaining and a very careful driver - the best possible combination. I appreciated being in one place for two nights (Stornoway) and the B&B that Rabbies booked for me was affordable, welcoming, comfortable, and well-located. I highly recommend!

I fully recommend this day trip. The views are amazing. You get to see much more than just Loch Ness. The day was made really special by our driver / guide Graeme. He is so passionate about the Highlands and so knowledgeable. We learnt so much and laughed a lot too. I can't praise him enough. Make sure you include the cruise along Loch Ness. Stunning views and very entertaining commentary from a member of the crew. A very good way to fit in a lot of sightseeing in one day.

Amazing. Duncan, our tour guide, was highly knowledgeable and demonstrated a clear love of Scotland. He shared his culture and history with all of us, treating us to what felt like an intimate discovery of the Cairns, Culloden, and, of course, the spectacular Glen Affric. The latter was, by far, the highlight of our stay (drawing only with the boat trip across the beautiful Loch Ness itself). The day starts off at a slower, comfortable pace. You get to experience the Cairns before moving on to the historic epicentre, Culloden Battlefield. The history on display here is very interesting and formative. However, the information centre itself was a bit confusing, and the service was slow (20 minutes for a coffee really bites into your leisure/discovery time). We then stop for lunch at the quaint Beauly before heading into the nature-led leg of the tour. Once that starts, it's genuinely heavenly. I've been fortunate to travel quite a bit, especially in the UK, and Glen Affric is easily one of the most beautiful vistas in the country (alongside the likes of Padstow, Fowey via Megavissey, Loch Ness and, I suspect, Glen Coe) This is one of those tours that makes you feel like you understand more of the area you've visited and leaves you nostalgic as soon as it ends.

Amy was our guide and driver. She is very knowledgeable and I learned so much. Lunch at applecross cafe was amazing. I splurged and had the beef cheeks. The little village of applecross was charming. It was a clear day so you could see Skye and the outer Hebrides.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Dave as our guide/driver. Dave tells great stories and jokes. We were lucky with sunshine most of the day.

Wonderful tour with Sheana and Nick, our guide could tell lots of interesting stories and knew the sites we were visiting very well!! The sites are great to visit!

A day to remember, traveling around and on Loch Ness. Very thoughtfully guided by Dave, who clearly loves Scotland and makes us love it too. By the way Dave, we loved the Cullen skink. Good tip.

Colin was our incredible tour guide. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, intuitive and just an all around great guy. Couldn’t recommend the tour or him more.

This was a wonderful way to see the Highlands and learn a lot about Scotland, its history, culture and people. Our driver/guide Seana was simply superb, ably captaining our comfortable touring van, keeping us entertained with history, tales and engaging conversation about the areas we were seeing and the three days flew by. I most enjoyed the more remote, western side of the peninsula with its pristine beaches, mountain vistas, and of course, many, many sheep. Overall, this was a terrific way to get a feel for the Scotland Highlands in a short period of time. Highly worthwhile and recommended!

Excellent tour with a friendly, knowledgeable guide with the most wonderful accent. Saw everything that was on my list and the weather only added to the atmosphere (-bring an umbrella if you can, though it *will* break from the wind). I much preferred this to a tour by another company I did to Skye, which was underwhelming. But you really felt alive on Orkney, the wind was wonderful. It helped that the bus was a 16 seater, which makes for a much more personal experience. If you are into stone age civilizations this is your playground. Then there is all the other island specific farming etc going on, which is just delightful to witness and if you are lucky you will hear the melodious Orkney accent when listening to locals. Breakfast in our BnB in Kirkwall was great and for dinner we had takeaway which was excellent, and there are supermarkets everywhere, so go get your sustenance there if no spots are available. The restaurants will be full and they do tell you to make reservations, so make sure you do if you want a proper restaurant experience and you will be dropped of there. Accomodation was spread out over town and you were picked up there in the morning. We also made plenty of refreshment stops. It depends on the people in your group, whether a trip is quite successfull, but for the most part the people were getting along and bonding over the course of days. (Even though some people are never happy, or overly excited - which both was quite draining after a while, get it together people....). I would not neccessarily recommend this for children though. You can bring them, but it might be a little much having to sit still for long periods of time, which in turn bugs the other passengers, so think about that. However, I wish all islanders the strength to deal with all the cruiseship bs going on and wish they were not overrun with tourists, which was especially a problem in Kirkwall. We were lucky, and it was fairly quiet but on leaving there were two massive ships coming in which is ridiulous. The poor locals. They were friendly and helpful everywhere, but I would totally understand if some were fed up with the backpacking sardines squished into the little towns.

Guide was fantastic, with great historical knowledge, a tale or two and very witty. The tour was well put together and great value for money.

Wonderful day - great job, Kev! We had a good time on Isle of Skye. Kev, our driver and guide had lots of stories, facts and also funnies about all spots on this journey and more. Very recommendable...

We absolutely loved this tour. Amy was hands down, the best tour guide on any tour, in any format, in any place I have ever met. She was welcoming and kind and unbelievably knowledgeable. Not just about Scottish history, but history of language, agriculture, pop culture, geology and everything in between. Even details as small as the music in the van - every song was curated for exactly the spot we were in at the moment. I cannot recommend Rabbie's enough. We did a second Rabbie's tour on this trip (Edinburgh to St Andrews), and it was also an excellent experience.

My mum and I had an amazing time with Helen during the 3-day Lewis and Harris tour. She was an amazing guide who kept us engaged throughout the trip and is extremely well versed in the knowledge of the region. She knew exactly what bits were coming up at every turn, and informed us of them - either with a background story or historical context - almost in a story format and it was great. As far as the actual locations are concerned, we loved Harris’s rugged rocks and dramatic scenery, with the highlight being the Luskentyre beach. Helen made sure that we got plenty of photos of this beach and others, from amazing viewpoints, and the sunny weather really added to the day. After finished the tour, I’ve been reading up more about the isles as I’m now fascinated to learn more - St. Kilda particularly intrigued me because of how tragic I find that the place had to be abandoned. I will also definitely look up some of Helen’s book recommendations too. We hope to book another trip soon with Helen, maybe this time to Orkney.
