What an outstanding experience! Our guide, Claire, was a wealth of information on Scottish history and all of the sites we visited. We were equally impressed with her navigation of the winding roads! This was our first tour on our 2 week trip to Europe, and it was a great way to ease into the trip. The directions of where to go to meet were easy to follow for us first-timers to Inverness. We felt that we got a full Scottish Highlands experience with this tour. Highly recommend!

This tour was wonderful. Our driver-guide was Shawna and she was fantastic! She was an expert driver in those narrow roads, she was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and told great stories about the local mythology and legends. We had all the Scotland / Skye weather that day for sure (crazy wind, rain, etc) but everyone handled it with grace. We saw amazing views - which was exciting because the weather cooperated for it! We were able to get out of the bus many times for bathroom breaks, snacks, food and photos. I would travel with this company again - and hopefully get our guide, Shawna. Thank you!

I would go on any and every tour with Ryan as the guide! He was funny and engaging and brought an amazing energy to the tour. The spots he chose for us to stop at were breathtaking and perfect. And how does he know so much about Scottish history? There's no way I could keep all of the tucked away in my brain; amazing! I really can't say enough good things about this tour. It's such a great value, and it was the highlight of the trip for my daughter who chose it as her 13th birthday gift. Well done, Ryan!

This was a great trip! The tour guide was knowledgeable and didn’t rush us on the trip. I’d definitely like to do a longer tour and see more of The Isle of Skye.

We thoroughly enjoyed this day trip from Inverness! Our driver/Guide Nick was great, he entertained us with details and stories of all the locations we visited. While I wish I'd had more time to spend in this area of Scotland, this tour is a great way to see a lot in the space of one day.

We had an amazing experience with Rabbie's "Skye and Eilean Donan Castle Full Day Small Group Tour from Inverness. The tour was well developed and the sites worth experiencing (Highland Coo, Loch Ness, the Castle & Skye), but the best part was Ryan, the guide, who is knowledge, professional and entertaining. He has a great sound track, plans bathroom breaks, knows the route and has the perfect timing for delivery. This tour contrasted completely with the Whisky Tour given by a competitor the next day, which was such a joke we thought we were on a reality show. We highly recommend Rabbies and this tour in particular, but be aware it is a LONG Day - bring a charger cord because you will need it - but Rabbies has thought of that. Both USB & USB-C can be used. Bags can be safely left of the bus which is always locked, so rain gear, drinks & electronics etc are a good idea to bring.

The driver/tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining! Excellent day trip, with plenty of breaks and a comfortable coach. Her Scottish lore and anecdotes provided added color to the trip. Great way to see The Isle of Skye. I highly recommend this company!

Our tour guide, Graeme, was the star of this show! He was incredibly knowledgable, conscious of our needs (motion sickness, allowing for bathroom breaks, etc.), and he was super-friendly. The tour was brilliant! I expected a long day for this one, but time flew by. What a fabulous experience. Thank you!
