“Was an excellent 3 days trip, great Scotland scenery and the best guide. Rod is an experienced driver, also on the roads and mainly through the Scotts history, great story teller! Has humor and knowledge. We enjoyed the number of objectives per day, a good balance between traveling enjoying the views, stops for a bite, a coffee or and ice-cream in picturesque towns. The overnight in Inverness was ok for enjoying the views and shops in the evening. Definitely recommend!”

“I do not have enough words to describe how amazing this 3-day tour was. Our driver/tour guide Kieran was amazing, the fellow passengers were a great group of people, the B&B that the tour group booked was just the best, and the scenery and animals we got to see, and experience were breath taking (even in the middle of winter). I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone going to Scotland, and especially the Rabbies tour company that gave us 110% amazing service every day. I can't wait to go back to scotland one day so I can do this tour or another with Rabbies company agaim!”

“I’ve always wanted to see the Isle of Skye and this tour did not disappoint. So many breathtaking stops along the way. My favorite part was the Faerie Pools. It was a trek but worth the hike. Also, the lunch recommendation was awesome! It was a packed lunch from a local artist that also did catering. The buttery biscuits were delicious. We were sad we couldn’t order more!”

He went out of his way to make the experience memorable for us. Thanks to him, we were able to see the top breathtaking parts of the highlands along with the fascinating history of the area. We even tried to dip our faces in the enchanted water that is supposed to give you eternal beauty 😊 He showed flexibility and yet made sure that we were able to see all the beautiful areas included in the tour.

“This trip was one of the most exciting trips I’ve ever had. We had a great time in the highlands, the driver Chris was so friendly & gave us a lot of information about the history of Scotland. You should go on this trip once on your life. However, there were many places that unfortunately we hadn’t spent much time in. Like the Loch Ness we didn’t even see it properly, because of the long ride in the bus, most of our time was spent there. We had a bad experience having the AC not working properly, the weather was hot that it needed good air-conditioning. Anyways, this trip is…”

“This was truly the best tour I’ve taken in Scotland. Highland Experience Tours delivered an incredible journey, and David — our guide — made the day unforgettable. His storytelling was captivating, covering everything from the legends of Nessie to the history of Flora MacDonald and the Jacobites. He struck the perfect balance of history, humour, and charm. We had just the right amount of time in Portree to explore and soak in its beauty, and the visit to the Fairy Pools was absolutely magical — a true bucket-list moment. The pacing of the day was ideal, giving us time to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. If you’re visiting…”
