Ok The following is my review and experience on this tour.
1. No additional listed information about going inside the bus station for the meeting location. We are not familiar with the area. We waited outside the station and missed our scheduled tour.
2. Had to sit separate the entire trip which was a huge disappointment for the last day of our trip. Also with sotting apart we had no time together to share the experiences.
3. Asked the tour guide to make an announcement about people using their cell phones on speaker to take calls and play tick tock videos. She did so in a weak manner. This should have been done in the beginning of the tour in a authoritative manner so people respected her request.
4. Toilets My daughter has a bladder condition. She was not allowed to use the toilet in the bus station as we were late due to the meeting directions. This caused us a emergency stop which took away time from the tour.
We were giving very little time at every stop and spent the majority of the time looking for bathrooms or standing in lines for the bathroom. I felt that I did not get anything out of the stops we made and in fact we missed our boat at the Loch Ness. We made pur last stop at a spot where there were no bathrooms - despite the fact that there was a rest stop 1 mile further
5 The tour guide barely spoke - gave little to know history for most of the tour. When she did speak she was
very mono tone.
6. We asked tour guide about the hairy coos she gave no information. When she mentioned they might be in back of the visitors center I asked if she had seen them and she responded “ I have never been there” Odd!!
She did not announce major highlights until they were already passed and by that time we missed taking the photos from the bus.
I got nothing from this tour except beautiful scenery from the windows of the bus.

My brother wanted to visit the Lock Ness so we did this day trip and it was wonderful and became a highlight of our trip. It was easy to find and meet Rabbie's at the Edinburgh Bus Station, there were tons of other Rabbie's tours departing at the same time. Roger was our driver/guide and was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the scenery and the small bus. We booked our tickets for the cruise with the tour. On the way back we stopped and visited a Highland Cow. It was an enjoyable day.

We had an unseasonably warm and clear day and the entire trip was spectacular. Our guide Gary was funny, knowledgeable, kind, and really made the trip a memorable experience. We’re so glad we took the time to leave Edinburgh to see this magnificent part of the country.

The guide was knowledgeable and trying to keep us engaging all of the trip. Suddenly he saw a cabin on the road, he did a great job to keep us safe! I really enjoyed my time in Glencoe. Wish we could spend more time there specially in the middle of Glencoe where we stopped for taking photos. The boat trip in Loch Ness was incredible as well, but again unfortunately we need to leave as soon as we get off the boat. Every is understandable with limited time and the length of the roads back to London. Totally loved it!

We had just one day to take in the Highlands and Rabbie's was the perfect tour. They were so very accommendating. Mac was our tour guide and he was amazing. We were enmeshed in Scottish history through his storytelling and music the entire trip. And if that wasn't magical enough, he played us a tune on his bagpipes 😊. He was informative and funny and he answered every question we had. It was a gorgeous day and I believe the Highlands are the most beautiful place on earth!

Phenomenal tour! We had Michael as our guide, he was a wealth of knowledge! We learned a ton about Scotland from history, to geology, to the arts, to the cities! We didn’t get to see Nessie, but his other recommendations were incredible! An incredible day!

Neil was a great tour guide and a good driver. He was informative on the history and differences of the highlands and the lowlands. The only real detriment to this tour is that it is a long time added when driving. Would recommend a longer trip that stop at places for the night or renting a car yourself.

This was a really long tour, but it was expected. We traveled 320 miles in a single day, but we saw SO MUCH! The tour guide, Ally P. was very entertaining, knowledgable, and peculiar. He was very enthusiastic and made sure we stop to get the best pictures along the way. Highly recommend!

Lovely day. The highlight is truly Glencoe as pictures can’t do it justice. Driving around and stopping at viewpoints was beautiful. We even got a quick stop for a nice glass of wine with a gorgeous view.
