Rabbie’s small group tours are driven by curiosity and guided by storytellers. We find the stories that go deeper and live longer in travellers' minds. On our journeys, everyone’s hungry for the little-known or just-happened, and we can go after them: no track too small, too trodden or obscure....

    What A Really Great Tour! We chose Rabbie's Tour's three day excursion to the Lake District and it fully lived up expectations and then some. The itinerary, the stops, onboard narration, accommodation and overall quality of the tour was truly exceptional. All this being said, the best part was the obvious enthusiasm and knowledge imparted by Roger, our Scottish guide, who offered interesting anecdotes at each stop and generally waxed lyrical about the region with a clear passion for what we are experiencing as we made our way through this stunning part of the UK. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to those travellers seeking a bespoke tour that offers such great value for all that it delivers.

    Thank you SO much for organising Bruce as our Tour Specialist. He was amazing. A true wealth of knowledge, attention to the smallest detail and gave us a way to relax with delivering the best locations in the Lake District. Thank you so much Bruce. Megan & Chris.

    Our bus was half empty. A smaller vehicle for this group would have made the small towns more accessable which would improve the experience rather than a driveby. More interesting or researched guide material would also improve the experience.

    Rabbie's Tours did not disappoint from start to finish. We met their team at Edinburgh Bus Station and they made us welcome and clearly explained who our driver would be and when and where to expect them. Right on time, Bruce arrived, helped us load up and got us underway for our trip to Keswick. Rabbie's uses Mercedes mini-coaches that seat 16. On a previous tour we found the double seats on the right a bit cramped so this time made a beeline to the back row of three seats that offered a more comfortable ride. The tour was delightful, Bruce kept us informed and entertained pretty well every mile of the trip. His knowledge and sense of humour were a welcome addition on the ride. The small coaches allowed him to take us on some narrow tracks and he used his experience to alter the route when weather threatened. There were frequent stops whether for short hikes, seeing sights, or just a leg stretch, with our driver always pointing out where to find a toilet as well as offering meal suggestions at lunch and dinner time.

    It was a great experience. Done feedback would be to include more walking & trekking plan in the itinerary instead of bus views of the lake.
