John, our guide, was personable, knowledgeable, great driver and made it fun. The van was very comfortable too.
First of all, the meeting place was VERY confusing. Viator said one location and the company posted another. I got there an hour early to sit upfront, as I get motion sickness easily. I ended up scrambling to find the right place last minute after nobody showed up and didn’t get the front. My guide was John and he was amazing!! John gets 5 stars for sure! The trip wasn’t worth $130 at all. We went to a few lookout locations but it wasn’t the hike through Glencoe I was hoping. Next time I will continue to tour with Rabbies.
Great , easy tour , will 100 percent recommend to friends or new travellers. The tour guide was friendly and nice .
John was an excellent driver and guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, animated, and had many great stories. John’s knowledge of Scottish history was extraordinary. This was an awesome tour!
We left the city centre area at 9:00 am and returned at 5:30 pm. The day passed by quickly thanks to the abundance of opportunities to get out and take photos of the stunning countryside. The photos do not do justice to the raw beauty of this area. Our driver and tour guide, Jim, provided the perfect narration with just the right amount of wit and humour. It is worth the time and money to do this tour.
Very nice experience close to nature. To discover without hesitation. Andrew was a fantastic guide. Thanks to him.
Wonderful time and beautiful scenery. Glencoe is always the best. Even got some sun on April 17th! Good history and waterfalls.
Jim, a very kind patient and calm host and guide. Well curated and thoughtfully planned. Flexible where needed. Had a wonderful time. Though i am local to Glasgow but i am thinking of already booking my next day trip.
Rachel was a fantastic tour guide! She took us to great spots in the highlands. We had the best time
Despite the rain (all part of the experience!) this trip was worth it. Highlights for me were visiting a charming town on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, a short waterfall hike, the scenic drive to Glencoe Visitor Centre and a stop at the historic Drovers Inn. Our guide, James, was friendly and knowledgeable. He played a large variety of Scottish music during our time in the van which our group enjoyed. Thanks James for an awesome day in the Highlands.
