“We took three Rabbies tours while in Scotland. All were great and this one the best. Rabbies offers excellent guides, well maintained buses and small group sizes for not much more than the big bus tours. The Cairngorms National Park and Whisky Tour was our favorite as the time spent outside the bus was excellent: short bus ride, get outside to see something, short bus ride and again you are outside seeing Scotland. Great active day for a bus trip.”

“This was our first tour of Scotland. As seasoned travellers, we consider this to be one of the best small tours we have ever undertaken. We visited Dalwhinnie, Benromach, Cardhu & The Glenlivet distilleries - all interesting and unique in their own way. The B&B accomodation in Grantown on Spey was of the highest standard. The mini-bus was modern and comfortable and the scenery absolutely mind-blowing. Above all, making this a real enjoyable tour was our very excellent Driver Ewan M of 'Rabbies' Tours; Ewan went out of his way to delight and impress us with his personal touch and his fountain of Scottish knowledge. This tour surpassed all expectations…”
