This tour was fantastic, Lucy our leader was excellent, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. She worked hard to make it a great experience for us all and had a quirky sense of humour. I think it would have been good if Lucy had got us all to introduce ourselves sometime during the first day. We saw so many interesting places and the scenery was stunning. The accommodation on Skye was very good, I stayed at the White Heathers B&B which very comfortable and lovely breakfast. The hotel in Fort William was comfortable, but the staff could have been more welcoming and friendly. Overall it was a great exoerience.
I thoroughly enjoyed this four-day trip. I saw breath-taking landscapes, met charming friendly people, and stayed in quaint places. Our guide, Kelly Queen of Scotland, was the best. She's a very competent driver, highly knowledgeable guide, and a genuinely nice person. Also, she's a great storyteller and tells the best bad cheese jokes. I'd highly recommend this trip.
Absolutely amazing tour. Our guide Robbie was wonderful and accommodating. The scenery and the little extra touches were fabulous. Wonderful trip
We had amazing guides. Andy and Sean showed us the highlands, told us parts of the history and where amazing in improvising a new sightseeing experience after the train got cancelled. The Murtle Bay B&B we stayed in was the best accommodation ever!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rabbie’s Tours – Guided by Michael If you’re coming to Scotland, book with Michael! From the very first moment, he made it his mission to ensure every single one of us had the best possible experience—and he absolutely delivered. His passion for what he does shines through in everything: the stories, the laughter, the hidden gems, the perfectly timed stops, and even the soundtrack! (Yes, he added new songs to my playlist!) Michael isn’t just a guide—he’s a fountain of knowledge, a storyteller, and someone who genuinely loves sharing Scotland’s magic. Because of him, this tour has exceeded every expectation. The B&Bs we stayed in were incredible, the views unforgettable, and every day felt like a new adventure. One of my biggest bucket-list dreams was to stand in Loch Ness—and I did it! Everything since has been an even greater and more stunning experience. Thank you, Michael, for making this journey one I’ll never forget.
We do not normally do arranged tours but due to time and distance the 4 day tour to Isle of Skye ticked all our boxes. With trepidation we set off but any concerns we had were very quickly gone. Colin our tour guide/driver was amazing - very knowledgeable and easy going. Gave thought to group and individual needs. And the tour itself…. Incredible. There is no way we would have seen and learnt as much as we did doing it solo.
Our 4-day trip to the Isle of Skye was fantastic! Our guide, Rhys, did everything he could to cater to our wishes and show us the most beautiful parts of the island. He even took us to places he had only heard about but had never been to himself. The bed and breakfasts were very cozy and offered a wide selection of breakfast options—including dairy-free options if required. The tour group was also great overall, and we will look back on this trip with fond memories for a long time to come.
The booking was easy. The accommodations were nice. We were in a horrible storm so im sure they did what they could to make it fun.
Duncan, our tour guide was super. He got to know us by our first names. He was knowledgeable and kept us informed as we went along. He even knew a bit about Irish connections for us Dubliners. Totally enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it
We both searched for a tour to the Highlands and Sky Island online, and saw a lot of people introducing Rabbies to the travel agency. Rabbies uses a small tourist bar with 16 seats to make it easy to reach all attractions. The number of small groups is smaller and more convenient. For accommodation, Rabbies has the option to book a B&B, hotel or book on its own at the time of booking. We have chosen to arrange B&B en-suite with the help of Rabbbies. Three nights stay is very comfortable, and a daily tourist bar is transferred to the property. Our chauffeur and tour guide Neil is very knowledgeable and experienced, and will tell the history and stories of the places during the journey, and will also explain the photos, tour routes, restaurant introductions and mailing stores before arrival. Due to the season and location restrictions, Neil carefully booked lunch and dinner for the first day of the trip. With a small tourist bar for 16 people, we can easily reach different locations in the Highlands and Sky Island, enjoy spectacular natural views and landscapes, and visiting attractions have plenty of time to visit and take photos. Although only 4 days of time is a bit of a delay, all the stunning scenery has been filled in the eye, something worth it!
