A beautiful experience, our...

A beautiful experience, our guide Scot was amazing! The weather was typically Scottish including midges but that made this tour memorable!

Breathtaking landscapes

Even though we couldn't see anything from the viewpoints because of the fog and even though it rained almost all day, Camille's energy and very funny anecdotes made us have a good time! Bravo Camille! The landscapes were also incredible! I definitely recommend this tour!

Wonderful scenery and tour guide

Just taken this tour today with Camille, and I cannot recommend it highly enough - and I'm a tour guide in the Highlands! Camille's driving was fantastic, the scenery was wonderful, her stories and knowledge was first class and it was a really amazing day. Lunch at the Applecross Inn was great, and it's a lovely thing Rabbies do in reserving a table for all the guests as there isn't a lot of choice in the West Highlands. Can I also recommend the gift shop in Applecross - unique gifts and a very nice owner. Thanks Camille for giving me the confidence to drive this route next week :-)

Awesome !!!

Absolutely magical experience. I loved travelling with Elidith — she has a real personality as a guide. Her stories were told in such an engaging, natural way that the journey felt alive, not scripted. She also made plenty of thoughtful stops for photos in truly breathtaking spots, which made the whole trip even more special. It was one of those experiences that stays with you long after it ends.

Amazing trip; highly recommend

Took my parents aged 80 and 89 to Scotland and we mainly did train journeys. We decided to take this tour as an alternative and we weren’t disappointed. Our guide was amazing and we stopped multiple times on our journey to have a photo opportunity. We learnt lots about Scotland and enjoyed the breath taking views. The small coach was also extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend.
