We had such a fabulous time on our trip to Isle of Skye with Jeff C! We left from Glasgow with a small group (only 3!) and were in awe as we traversed the Highlands and explored Skye. Jeff was so knowledgeable and had many stories (both historical and humorous!), food recommendations, and hidden gems along the way. I cannot thank Jeff enough for giving us so many priceless memories and experiences I will never forget. THANK YOU

Peter the tour guide was an amazing person, really knowledgeable, friendly, kind and also has the ability to make everyone feel confortable. He was also caring and attentive about each one’s needs, he was very helpful all the time. His driving is superb He worked really hard not to miss any of the must sees, besides some additional spots where the landscapes where breathtaking. A very important part of a tour is based on the guide, and he excels by far. His guidance was gentle, properly timed, comprised enough stops for restroom. The beautiful landscapes, the power of nature at its full bloom made Skye and the highlands a tour that should not be missed. Winter is a particularly different scenario, where Scotland shows its mighty look; this is something to keep in mind Make sure to get Peter as your tour guide

We had an amazing trip with Peter!! The Isle of Skye is a surreal location with a magical mystic energy. Peter took us to all the best spots and was able to adjust and accommodate our groups requests and interests. Highly recommend and will most definitely do again.

Wonderful experience! Make dinner reservations in Portree in advance. And it’s Scotland so be prepared for all weather. Rain boots and umbrellas are a must!

Crikey, small tour excellence does not get any better! My friend and I joined the 3 day Skye tour in September with Alastair, what a hoot! His natural connection with people, his knowledge, his genuine care and concern for all guests to get the most from their experience, his ability to steer us through multiple narrow roads and access ways, so impressive! Even after the 3 days, he managed to pull a hat out of his bag initiating the best-est sing-along EVER for our drive back in to Glasgow! All the usuals re the comfort in the bus, the accommodation (superb, as is the liaison between the B & B’s and Rabbies) and Alastair’s passion for his country and its history helped us all connect so much with the beauty of Scotland. Yes, storytellers for sure, but delivered with great personable care and wonderful humour! The only thing left to do is articulate that Rabbies knows their business, their staff go beyond and this totally special tour is now enshrined in a very special place in my heart. 20/10 Rabbies and Alistair - thank you! Yep, if we’re back that way, without a doubt Rabbies would be the top pick and we highly recommend this tour company!
