Our guide Nick made the trip a lot of fun, very interesting and informative! Will book with Rabbies Tours again!

The guide was confused with the time to depart and return. We also never made it to the Wallace statue. We would have benefitted from a longer star at Melrose and a shorter stay at Rosslyn. Other than that, the guide offered a lot of interesting facts and information.

Beth_R

Most notably our tour guide, Andy was great. Asked and remembered most of our names. Also asked a little bit about each of us. Rosslyn Chapel is not just a location from a movie, it’s a work of art.and The countryside was incredible. It’s definitely a must see!

Elizabeth_T
