I used this taxi company to get from Thurso to Scrabster (for the ferry to Orkney) and back. Very friendly, given a commentary of local buildings on the way to Scrabster. We booked a taxi for when we returned and when we arrived on the ferry, the driver was there holding up an electronic board with my name on! All for just the normal taxi fare. We had a couple of hours wait for our train and the taxi driver let us store our luggage in the taxi office so we could have a look around the town before going for our train. Just great!

Scotland's 'Route 66' is a rollercoaster road of ruined castles, pristine beaches, dramatic cliffs, and charming villages. On this 3-day small-group tour from Inverness, you explore all of it in the comfort of a luxury, 16 seat mini-coach.  You clamber through scattered boulders and spot a beach so white it makes you reach for your sunglasses. You ramble along cliffs and find a village so small you try to pack it in your suitcase. And you travel along tumbling roads and see castles so ancient you rub your eyes in disbelief. This is the North Coast 500. And over every horizon, you find something surprising.

Inclusions: Driver/guide, Small-group tour (16 passenger max), Transport by air-conditioned mini-coach, 2 nights en-suite accommodation with breakfast

Exclusions: Meals and refreshments, Gratuities, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Admission fees

Just returned from a lovely trip to the beautiful city of Edinburgh, can't wait to go back ???? During my stay I booked two 1 day tours with Rabbis. Firstly a huge thank you for running the tours with just the 2 of us, our stay had been planned around these days out so very grateful they went ahead. The Outlander tour with Lizzie was amazing as was Lizzie, she went out of her way to ensure we had a great day even though the weather was a bit liquidy! She was extremely knowledgeable about the Outlander series/locations and Scottish history in general, many thanks Lizzie. Our second tour was to St Andrews and the fishing villages of Fife with David who was fab, he was extremely helpful, flexible, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The villages were beautiful and St Andrews was stunning, we were also fortunate enough to have lovely sunny weather. I would highly recommend both tours and guides! Kathy ☀️☔????

We had a brilliant time visiting Eilean Donan castle and the Isle of Skye. We were a small party due to Covid 19 and everything was well thought out to ensure social distancing, hand sanitising etc. Chris our driver/guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable with lots of stories thrown in too. It was a long and thoroughly enjoyable day and we would love to return one day.
