Highlights of Scotland in one day.
Angela_J, October 2026
The trip was fantastic from beginning to end. The transport was immaculate and very comfortable, far better than a large coach. ‘Glasgow John’ was an absolutely fabulous driver/tour guide who clearly cared about giving his passengers the best experience possible. His knowledge of the history and Geography of Scotland was impressive and really enhanced the trip. The soundtrack of Scottish music that he had put together for the tour was brilliant, again really enhancing the whole experience. We would thoroughly recommend this trip with Rabbies and look forward to booking a future trip with them. Great value for money too.

Must see Glencoe!
Jessica_W, October 2026
Glencoe is magical and a must see if you have the chance. Would recommend this tour. The pacing is good and you’re not on the bus for too long. Be warned, to find the buses in the morning you need to go to the far east side of the large city bus station.
