Traveler reviews
5 Tages Tour Outer Hebrides
Thanks to Billy and the whole Rabbie’s team, we had a wonderful adventure touring the Scottish Highlands and the Hebrides. It was our first group tour, and our guide Billy is truly one of a kind. His storytelling and the way he guided us through Scotland will always stay in our memories. We cannot recommend Rabbie’s enough ❤️
A thoroughly enjoyable...
A thoroughly enjoyable trip. Only 5 passengers which made the logistics much easier and the small group bonded well despite very different backgrounds. Had there been a full complement of 16, the bus might have seemed quite crowded. The Outer Hebrides were magnificent and only enhanced by two days of very good weather; really fortunate. Our guide, Stefan, was knowledgeable with a light touch. He drove well, was always prompt and thoughtful. The two guest houses we stayed at were comfortable with very attentive hosts.
Outstanding tour!
Sean Gordon was our tour guide, and he did a wonderful job! He was a wealth of historical, geological, and archeological information. I came away with a better understanding of life in the Outer Hebrides. He knows the roads through the Highlands! We toured some truly breathtaking sites. This was my fourth Rabbies tour, and it exceeded my expectations.
An Amazing Experience Through Highlands to the Outer Hebrides
This tour fulfilled all my expectations. The Outer Hebrides are beautiful and wild, another world. Keith, our tour guide for five days, made the trip with his information, stories, poetry, and music. The accommodation that Rabbies booked for me was central with good services. There were lots of places to eat in the evening and where we stopped for lunch. I enjoyed the historical sites that we generally got at least half an hour to look at. Be prepared for four weather seasons in one day, even in summer.
Breathtaking scenery
The Outer Hebrides was our third consecutive Rabbies small bus tour. We thank Iain for a beautiful journey. He delighted us with his knowledge of the area, care, captivating stories and knowledge of Scottish history. There were numerous moments when our fellow bus travellers said 'WOW' in chorus taking in the breathtaking scenery.
