This was our first time doing a Rabbies tour but we would definitely do another based on this experience.

“This experience was SO entertaining and informative! Honestly, my only regret was that I didn't book the longer "school experience" because I didn't want it to end. Both hosts were hilarious, but also clearly passionate about their work and it was really fun to learn about it. All the gins we tasted were fantastic.”

It was a perfect introduction to Scotland and he even gave us tips where to find dinner and a wee drink after the tour as well. If you book one trip while in Scotland, book with Malcolm!”
