Our trip from Edinburgh to Isle of Skye with Rabbies was absolutely amazing. Everything was well.orgainsed and completely stress-free for us. The bus trip through the Highlands took the scenic route (I'm not sure if there is a not scenic route in the Highlands) and we took frequent photo stops in amazing locations. On Skye we had a place in a great little B and B (Seaforth Cottage) and a full day bus tour on the island seeing the unbelievable landscapes. Our tour guide (Neal) was a chatty guy with a good knowledge of the history of the places we passed and made sitting in the bus for longer stretches very entertaining with local tales and anecdotes. All in all, the trip was everything we had hoped for.

My wife and I enjoyed this tour very much. The Isle of Skye is beutiful, the Eilean Dolan Castle is very interesting, and the little towns along the way are charming. The tour was very well organized and our guide, Erik, was fantastic.

This tour was outstanding. The scenery is simply breathtaking. By far, this was our favourite tour. 3 days was just enough time to experience the beauty of the the "Isle of Skye".
Our hotel accommodations were also absolutely fabulous, right on the harbour at Portree with a view of the fishing boats right outside our window. Our tour guide, "Eddy", was also truly outstanding. His descriptions and stories during the tour, and on the many nature walks made all of us appreciate his pride in his Scottish heritage. Isle of Skye is a truly a beautiful place with breathtaking scenery. I will be recommending this tour to all of my friends and family.

This trip really lived up to the reviews. Rabbie's is an excellent tour guide service and is well worth the money. Also, the place they booked for me in Portree for 2 nights was absolutely perfect, the Coolin View b and b. Neal, our driver/tour guide, was brilliant as well. Trust Rabbie's for a great trip. My only complaint would be that some stops there wasn't engough time. I would have liked an option for some extended time to hike around the Isle of Skye. But I'm a real outdoorsy type. Either way, great trip.

My daughter and I had a fantastic time. Our guide James was an amazing story teller and a wonderful, nice guy. He did a great job of pointing out the sights and stopping so we could take pictures. Our B&B in Portree was great. The other people on our tour were so much fun. The Isle of Skye is so beautiful and I was stunned by the beauty of the highlands. I would love to go back and do this same tour again. Also, the value for the price was great. Thanks for an absolutely wonderful time! I highly recommend this tour.

We loved our trip to the Isle of Skye which was greatly enhanced by the knowledge, skill and friendliness of Neil, our guide. Nothing was a problem to him and he was always happy to do whatever it took to meet our needs to our satisfaction. We would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone considering taking it.

I would highly recommend the three day tour of the Isle of Skye. My guides Allister and Doug were very knowledgeable of the area and the sites we visited. My accommodations on the Isle of Skye were at a quaint B and B right on the sea. The view from my room was spectacular! The small size tour group was much nicer than the larger sized tours that I've taken in the past. It's like having your own guided tour. I'll cherish the memories of my trip for a long time.

We had the worst weather for our 3 day trip through the Isle of Skye, but the BEST tour guide in Sarah, full of interesting information and passionate Scottish tales. I would highly recommend this tour (especially if you were lucky enough to have our Sarah) the accommodation in a B&B was lovely, warm and friendly.

The 3-Day Isle of Skye tour was great! It was the only tour I could find that fit my timeline of hitting as many sites in Scotland as possible in 3-4 days. For the price, what the tour offered as far as a small group size, sites of Scotland, and quality accomodations (I did the Bed and Breakfast package) was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore as much of Scotland as possible in a limited timeframe. Additionally, our tour driver provided a lot of interesting information along the way and made every effort to accomodate the 'must sees' of each individual traveler.

This trip was absolutely amazing. Richard, our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and pleasure to be around. His recommendations for restaurants were great and varied enough in price that everyone was able to find something in their budget. Sea Breezes on the Isle was especially good. Our B&B was very pleasant and comfortable. The operator seems to really know their stuff and the small group was terrific, much better than big coach trips. The Isle of Skye was breathtaking. Again we were extremely lucky with weather as it was clear the entire time and even sunny two of the days. Edinburgh is a great city and the pick up point for this tour was very central and easy to find. When we returned we easily hopped on the airport bus as it is right where the tour ends. I would absolutely go back to Scotland.

The 3-day trip to the Isle of Skye that we booked with Rabbies through VIATOR was to celebrate our youngest son's graduation from Royal Scottish Academy and our 40th wedding anniversary. We would highly recommend this experience. It should be on everyone's BUCKET LIST. Viator selected the Almondbank Bed & Breakfast for our stay in Portree, which was exceptional! We enjoyed a hearty Scottish breakfast by Effie, our hostess...comfortable, clean accommodations and Eddie provided a wonderful three days of facts & stories, interesting, relaxed photo opportunities and safe travel...

An excellent choice of a tour just long enough to see the Isle of Skye without seeing too much scenery. Our guide, Ross, made the trip enjoyable by his knowledge and passion for the area. We had a most enjoyable visit. The B&B at which we stayed was nice too, overlooking a lovely bay. Definitely a place I would like to visit again one day. I recommend other tourists to take this tour.

The Isle of Skye is a wonderful piece of the World. The organization of the tour was professional, I may say that it was perfect. The tourist-group consisted of 16 people - which number seemed to be optimal for such a tour. I was absolutely satisfied with the guide and transportation, as well as with the 3-star hotel Rosedale in Portree Skye.

The Isle of Skye is a beautiful area of Scotland and is well worth a trip to see. This tour barely scratched the surface of all there is to see and do. A longer tour of the island would be highly recommended.

We absolutely loved the three day tour to the Isle of Skye! The hotel in Portree was a unique and pleasant place, and our tour guide was one of a kind. She made the tour and trip a very unique experience and we believe that the tour group should feel very lucky to have her on their staff. Her knowledge of history and genealogy seemed to have no limits. The best thing about the tour was Karen's unique and natural story telling abilities; nothing seem scripted or rehearsed. This whole package was a real gem!
