Perfect day excursion out of Edinburgh

Raibar was very friendly and helpful. We gave him a general idea of what we wanted to do and he curated a tour that hit all the items my family wanted to see. The highlight was an amazing picnic off Loch Labnaig in little alcove. Felt like we had the place to ourselves!

Perfect way to make your own plan and not have to drive!

Kate was amazing! We were so afraid to drive ourselves but really wanted control over where we went. This gave us the freedom to go where we wanted and spend as little or much time as desired. We changed our route home after lunchtime, discussed it with our driver and off we went! We recommend this to any and all.

Private driver

Drivers was prompt, friendly, and taught us a lot along the way. Better for our family than renting a car.

A Lovely ride thru the countryside

We rode from the Edinburgh city center to the Stobo Castle, approximately an hour’s drive into the Scottish Borders. Our driver, Katy, arrived early and provided us with lovely commentary about the area, the weather and the climate. She was informative without being boring and even did a quick detour thru the town of Peebles which we had mentioned we might visit. We have used CabAir twice now with plans to use them again.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing CabAir again. We're delighted to hear Katy made your journey to Stobo Castle so enjoyable. She'll be pleased to know her local knowledge and the detour through Peebles helped make your trip even more memorable. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back to Scotland again soon.
