Rabbie's

16-seat minibus tours of Scotland since 1993, for a day or several, leaving from Edinburgh bus station.

Who they are

Rabbie's has been running minibus tours of Scotland since 1993. It departs from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, and also from London, Manchester and Dublin. Its groups are 16 people at most, with a guide who drives and tells you the history and legends of each place along the way.

How their tours from Edinburgh work

Day tours leave from Edinburgh bus station, on St Andrew Square. For the Loch Ness and Glencoe trip, pick-up is at 7:45 at gates J and K, returning at around 20:00. They ask you to arrive 15 minutes early: they leave on time and don't wait.

At the long stops you have free time to eat or do something on your own. Admission tickets and boats are paid separately, and food is not included. One small suitcase per person is allowed.

Children, cancellations and bookings

Children must be at least 5 years old, and under-18s travel with an adult. There's a reduced fare from 5 to 15. If your child is under 1.35 m, let them know when booking so they bring a booster seat. Day tours can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before; if you don't show up, there's no refund. You book on their website and phone support runs from 7:00 to 18:00 every day.
