Scottish Highlands Adventure Tour

We enjoyed this tour very much. Our guide, Helen, was informative, entertaining, and did a great job working with the rainy day we had. Helen was super friendly and outgoing while maintaining a professional, thoughtful, and courteous demeanor. Helen had many great stories to tell that were relevant to our tour activities. Her optimism in spite of the dreary weather made all the difference in our level of enjoyment. Her good humour was much appreciated. I’ve taken many different tours in many different countries and Helen is by far one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I really liked the castle, Knockan Crag and the mountains surrounding the beach at Alchmelvich. The guide was also very good. I am giving 4 stars, instead of 5, because I found the town where we stopped for lunch less charming vs other tours. Overall, I enjoyed the day and would recommend the tour.

This tour was a great experience. Our tour guide/driver was Emily. She was friendly, knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions. The tour was well organized. We were able to see and enjoy a lot of wonderful places and even had time for a surprise stop. It was really a great experience.

We took this tour on 28/5/2026 with our guide James. This was the second tour we had booked with Rabbie’s on our vacation. We were extremely happy with the first day tour out of Edinburgh and this tour was equally fantastic as well. We met at a very convenient pick-up location just a 5-minute walk from our hotel on the other side of the river. While the tour was full, the tour size is easily managed and did not feel crowded at all. The smaller size van and James’ driving skills were very much appreciated when we got off on to the smaller “single track” roads in the afternoon. As with our other Rabbie’s guides, James was super nice, very knowledgeable, and committed to providing a great day. Since the weather was sunny and hot, James suggested to the group that we stop by and pick up a picnic lunch to enjoy at the beach as well as a stop at Lochinver to pick up some pies. This was a great suggestion and maximized the rare sunny weather we had for the tour. The stops along the way were all very interesting and beautiful but lunch out at Achmelvich Beach was spectacular! The stop at Knockan Crag was very interesting from a geologic point of view but did seem a bit rushed as there was a lot to take in. Again, with the weather we were experiencing, the drive through the highlands provided some fantastic views. James did an excellent job of pointing out what we were seeing and how the highlands were formed. He also did a great job bringing the history of Ardvreck Castle to life as we stopped to visit the ruins. But the white sand beach and crystal-clear water of Achmelvich Beach provided the biggest surprise of the day. It was hard to believe we were in Scotland and not the Caribbean. On the return journey, James made a few quick stops to get some perfect pictures of the trip. Thank you James and Rabbie’s Tours for providing another fantastic day tour. We look forward to booking more tours with you when we return to Scotland and would highly recommend your company for anyone visiting.

Fantastic day out. From the information given by the tour guide to the incredible photo opportunities along the way this was a day out not to forget
