We were a group of four and we spent 5 days in London and 5 days in Scotland. They booked and planned everything for us and sent us a plan with all the information that we needed (hotels, flight and train tickets, places to visit and restaurants).The plan was to guide us through Scotland with a private transportation so we were on our own in London but still they helped us book our hotel and gave us suggestions on what we can do in London. When we arrived in Edinburgh our tour guide picked us up from the train station and drove us to our hotel. And we travelled through Scotland for five days in wich we saw so many places that we couldn’t possibly manage to visit on our own. We could stop whenever we wanted to take pictures and ask questions about the places. Our tour guide planned everything and we only had to follow and after 5 days in London using only the underground for transportation someone guiding us through our journey was extremely nice. We could relax and enjoy the journey. So thank you for everything! It was a beautiful trip :)

We had a fantastic time touring and learning about Edinburgh. Alexander had amazing knowledge of the city and made the whole day really enjoyable. The tour was very well organised and the Mercedes minivan was very clean. This tour is a must for anyone who really wants to explore/learn more about Edinburgh in a short amount of time.

We had a wonderful 3 days exploring Skye. Raphael our guide was knowledgeable and showed us the island without feeling rushed. We had a couple of sights to visit and hikes to do when in Skye and we are pleased to have managed it all.

I was not quite sure what to expect when I planned this tour with Paul only because the number of daylight hours in Scotland in mid-December is quite limited (this tour had to be managed in 6 hours) and also one was not sure of the vagaries of the weather, looking at the forecast. However, it turned out to be a brilliant and fun day. Paul’s pacing is always perfect. Tours with him are not overwhelming in which the days might be packed too tight and where one might get the feeling always of being rushed. No. Not so with Paul. His planning and sense of time is excellent. He selects the sights and the tours with care and customises them exactly per his customers’ requirements. In the end one gets the feeling of having been somewhere meaningful, and of having one’s senses enriched. It’s just right and it’s brilliant. Those memories stay with one for a long long time. I’m not going into the details of each place visited, nor am I going to wax lyrical about Paul’s sense of humour, his knowledge of Scottish history, current politics, the golf conversations, and the wonderful insights that he shares about each place visited: these things are all true, of course, and he is a truly excellent guide and friend. Very briefly, one saw the ruins of the Roslin Castle, the exquisite Rosslyn Chapel, the magnificent Scott’s View, and the enchanting and atmospheric Dryburgh and Melrose Abbeys. Lunch was at the classy Townhouse (Paul’s picks are perfect). I strongly recommend giving Paul and his partner Kelly a shout if you wish to discover Scotland. You will not be disappointed. Five stars, and that’s being stingy.

Visit three castles and a well-preserved village on this adventure through the sights and stories of Outlander. There are moments that make your heart pound, scenes that leave you on the edge of your seat, and kisses that cause you to blush. But no matter how thrilling Outlander is, we think the real-life sites are even more emotive. This is because visiting the locations lets you step back in time and wander through unchanged, ancient villages. It gives you the chance to gaze up in awe at the mighty walls of a 600-year-old castle. And it allows you to venture through the real battlefields of the Jacobite uprising. On this tour, your guide takes you through a fantastic array of Outlander sights while telling you all about the history that inspired the famous show. So, take this time-travelling adventure and discover that the real locations and history are as exciting as the show itself.

What an incredible experience. I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to know and see more of this beautiful country ????????????????????????????. George was very friendly, kind and knowledgable. Each stop was absolutely breathtaking! My main reason for booking the tour was visiting Oban and I’m so pleased I had plenty of time to wonder around, eat and visit the tower. Technical details you might want to know: We came back to the bus station at 6:40 pm ( I got in on time to get my bus back to Aberdeen yeii) butwe had perfect weather and minimal traffic Plenty of stops. Public toilets in Oban charge 50p so make sure you have coins. Thank you for helping me with that George . You are a star (in Netflix and real life) PS: I absolutely LOVE the Scottish playlist ???????????????????? Thank you for showing us around ????????????????????????????

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 ☀️☔????
