Great day out in the Peak District

Rob was a fabulous guide as we explored the wonderful Peak District on the full day tour...great scenery, local history punctuated withs some relevant music and anecdotes. The plague village of Eyam was probably my favourite bit....but it was all excellent. First class.

May 2026 Peaks District tour

Our first experience with Rabbies was excellent. Our driver Mike made our day. Professional, patient, personable & knew his subject well. The day had whistle-stops across the Peaks district, finishing in Castleton where we took the option of the cavern tour (highly recommended).
