Fun experience in small group. Mick (driver with Rabbies) was great. Skye was extremely windy but lots of stops for photos and scenery then a great time at the castle on the island with the “real” kilt wearing Scotsman!!

Our absolute favorite part of the trip to Scotland! Honestly saw the prettiest places and still loved it even in some rain! The guide could not be better. He gave us local knowledge, stories passed down, and we got to listen to Scottish music too. We had lots of stops to have a drink, take a bathroom break and we stopped at pull off areas to get amazing picture opportunities. You will not regret this low cost tour at all!

I was not able to go on this trip and notified Rabbi’s a week ahead. Instead of letting me know that I needed to contact Viator to let them know instead, they never responded and I thought all was taken care of. I got a call the day of the tour asking where we were and I explained. They refuse to refund my money or even apply it to the same tour on a different day. Really disappointed in both Rabbi and Viator and I recommend that you go through another company to make your booking.

A twelve-hour mini-bus ride might sound miserable at first blush, but with Graham behind the wheel and a well-planned itinerary, it was a day in the Highlands we’ll never forget. There so many wonderful, photographable stops that I never felt I was on the mini-bus too long. Our guide and driver thoughtfully added commentary, stories, and curated music to the stretches of road between stops and added extra time off the bus as time allowed. Each of the promised attractions was magnificent and the plan afforded us plenty of time to explore. We will look to Viator again for our next experience.

Our tour operator, Amy, was superb - a wealth of information across topics, from history to geography to linguistics to music and even more. She was not only informative, but a great story teller, a wonderful sense of humor, and, always, courteous and respectful. She exceeded the call of duty to provide my daughter and me a truly memorable day.

The trip to Skye was amazing! Helen was so knowledgable and interesting the drive seemed like minutes. Her stories and historical information were brilliant. And the views at the castle and on the Isle of Skye itself were spectacular. My friend and I told everyone if they were going to Skye, they better make sure they are going with Rabbie's!

This tour is a must while in Inverness. You experience so much in a days time. Yes it is all day, but the trip is organized perfectly. You hit some amazing spots, and Claire was a fabulous guide. We loved getting to spend the day with her and Mick!

This tour was gorgeous and we got to see some coos! The views from just the bus is enough to go! Duncan our guide was wonderful and so knowledgeable and shared so much Scottish history on the ride it was amazing to hear everything. The stops are just breathtaking, the Quiraing is insanely stunning. We really enjoyed our time on this tour despite some rocky weather. I will note that this is a very long day, thankfully most of it is spent in a comfortable coach but it might not be appropriate for younger children, as an adult we were wiped out from everything we saw and then day of travel! Regardless this was a great day tour and if you are short on time and want to see Skye this is the tour to take!!

Liam was the most amazing tour guide! We had the best trip and we will definitely be doing more if we are in the area.

This was an excellent day tour of the highlands. Our guide Amy was an excellent storyteller with an amazing voice. She covered topics ranging from history and geology to modern eco restoration and pop culture. She also had a great soundtrack to make a long ride feel short. The views were exquisite and the weather was cold. I highly recommend this tour - and bring more warm layers than you think you need!
