Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The tour guide Jeremy was fantastic. Funny and informative. This tour was my main reason for visiting Scotland, and I'm glad I did. Will surely go on more tours with Rabbie's. Thank you

    This was the second trip that my sister and I went with Scotland's Wild while visiting from the US. We had a different tour guide, James, who warmly welcomed us at Buchanan St Station in Glasgow. To name a few sites: we went to Loch Lomond, Luss, Inverary Castle, and the Standing Stones. It was an absolutely beautiful and informative drive through breathtaking scenery. James was an excellent tour guide! A warm and friendly person to spend the day with. He also was very knowledgeable and gave us tons of historical and cultural information. The whole day was so enjoyable. Definitely recommend.

    This was our second tour with Rabbie's during our stay in Glasgow. We can definitely recommend this one too! The cruise on Loch Lomond is amazing, even with (or maybe especially with) mist. The visit to Stirling Castle was also very interesting. It has a lot of history (be sure to do the free guided tour!) and the panorama's of the surrounding area are beautiful.

    Just as with the previous Rabbie's tour, our day trip was made even better by our guide! After having spent a tour with"old" Cameron, this day our guide was "young" John. John is one of the friendliest people we've ever met. He told us some interesting and funny stories during our trip, played some very nice music, and took very good care of our group during the tour. The sights from the minibus were great too, and John has great recommendations for lunch walks as well! Rabbie's' guides really know how to elevate a day of sightseeing to an interesting, heart-warming experience. Thank you!

    We had a lovely day visiting the Kelpies, Falkland and Saint Andrews. The places we stopped are beautiful. The Kelpies is an impressive sculpture, the small town of Falkland is very charming, and St. Andrews, the "main attraction" of this day trip, is interesting as well; especially the ruins of the cathedral and the castle.

    But what definitely elevated this trip from beautiful sightseeing to a complete experience, including stories about Scotland, Scottish history and beautiful music, was our guide: "old" Cameron (his own words!). We could listen to him all day. His stories made the time spent driving from one location to the next pass extraordinarily quickly. Thank you so much Cameron!

    Boisterous bold adventures worthy of braving particularly for Outlander fans! Great tour guide who had a hint of Jamie to add to the flavour of the day!

    We had a great time on the tour. Compliments to David and Adam our tour guid and driver. No question to small for David to answer and Adam got us to the destinations safely. Both nice friendly lads. They had a trainee on board with them ( sorry don't know his name) and he was also very friendly and full of knowledge. Wish him all the best in his new role. Will definitely book another tour with this company.

    What a great tour! I highly recommend it as a one-day introduction to the Highlands and historical / ancient sites (Loch Lomond, Inverary & Kilcherny Castles, standing stones, etc). It makes it so much easier to leave the driving and logistics to someone else, and it's even better when they actually do a good job! The entire tour is very well planned and runs smoothly without making the participants feel rushed all day.

    Our tour guide, James did a great job introducing us to the sites and history wherever we were driving or walking, and was a wealth of other anecdotal information as well. As one of the solo travelers in the group, he was also very good at helping me feel included and welcome. He was very thoughtful and entertaining - I would definitely recommend one of his tours and would consider joining him for another one on a future trip to Glasgow.

    We loved our day with Corinne! She was so sweet, welcoming and personable and she tailored our tour to what we wanted to see, making spontaneous adjustments to accommodate our cruise ship's late arrival and miscommunication with another tour operator. We especially enjoyed our time at the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. We'd definitely book E2G Tours and Corinne again!

    Trip of a lifetime. Two weeks in Scotland is not nearly enough to experience all there is to see and do. From the cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, & Stirling to the highlands the sites, the history, the arts, the people are amazing.
    Started in Glasgow, stayed at the Albion Hotel, great little hotel and very reasonably priced. Walking distance to Kelvingrove art gallery and museum. Must see the Salvador Dali at Kelvin grove is a must see. Took the Hop on bus tour all around the city, on and off for shopping at Sauchiehall Street, eating, tea, Modern Art Museum and then over to the transportation museum, The Glenlee sailing ship was great for tea, whose sister ship I've been on in San Francisco. Tried to go to one of the oldest pubs ever, The Saracen Head, on the east end, famous in Billy Connolly's Crucifixion comedy routine, but it may be closed certain weekdays, it was padlocked when we went, so check in advance. The fish & chips and the Indian food in Glasgow are some of the best meals anywhere. We went to the Oran Mor, a converted church and had Cullen skink, which doesn't have an appetizing name, but is a wonderful thick soup of smoked haddock.
    Then on to Edinburgh, the castle, the royal mile are fantastic. Also took the Hop On/Off bus, great way to get around the city and stops at all the most important places. The history of these cities is astounding. I found it fabulous to see Starbucks or the Apple store in buildings 200-400 years old. Remember to look above street level, the architecture is impressive.
    We then went to the Braemar Gathering, the royal games, King Charles and Queen Consort Camelia were there, and I got some great up-close photos. Privileged to see two records in weight for height, first the Braemar record, then the world record and have great pictures of both with the weight just clearing the bar. Scottish games in Scotland are different from the U.S. Not as much abouts the clans more about the events and they have different events. Caber Toss of course, hammer throw, dancing and pipes, Tug of War, and running races and in Braemar they race the hill, an old established race to the top of a local mountain and back. The day was great, but the bus broke down on the way back to Edinburgh, so it took almost 5 hours to get back.
    The next two days were spent with Rabbie's Tour out of Edinburgh, a tour of the highlands on a smaller bus maybe 20 people. The driver, Alastair, was perfect, knew the area, knew the history and could tell great stories, brilliant. Went to Dunkeld, a quiet little town extremely steeped in history. Beautiful Cathedral and town center right on the Tae River, only regret was not enough time there. Then through the Cairngorms National Park. Stopped at the Cairn, some of the oldest burial chambers in existence, around 2000 BC.
    Had some time but not enough at Culloden, some may know from the TV show Outlander, but is known for the end of the Jacobite uprising, the beginning of the highland clearances and the end of the highland way of life. An incredibly somber and historic site where survivors were given no quarter; soldiers and civilian supporters were hunted down and slaughtered. A few who escaped made it to the colonies and participated in another rebellion. It was a perfect Scottish day to tour, rain, fog, sun, very emotional experience walking the lines of battle where they were buried where they fell, names of famous and not so famous distant relatives and perhaps the saddest stones of just "mixed clans".
    The second day was spent in Glencoe, perhaps one the most beautiful places on earth. I've been to Yosemite, Jasper, Banff, Glacier National and now Glencoe, and I consider Glencoe easily ranks with these parks. Rivers, waterfalls, mountains, lakes, weird white beach mountain lakes, the sad and tragic history of the weeping glen, much more complicated than most imagine. I can't wait to return.
    No trip to the highlands could be complete without a visit to Loch Ness, and an open mind to the possibility of a Nessie sighting or at least the idea that a monster may have existed at some time when 500 million years of tectonic plates moving around finally bumped into each other to form this vast lake. We did not see Nessie, but did have a great experience at Urquhart Castle. The ruins of the castle and the views of the Loch are stunning.
    The Commando Memorial where the British trained during WWII before they invaded Normandy at Sword and Gold beaches for a quick stop has great views of the valley and a good place to take pictures.
    Stirling was another amazing city. Stayed at The Allan Park, Hotel, restaurant, bar all in one, the staff were great, very friendly, the food was excellent. The castle was fun, it had everything you would expect in a medieval castle, historic battles, births of nobilities, views of the valley, Wallace monument, The fields of Bannockburn and Stirling bridge.
    Scotland should not be missed. I can't wait to go back and stay longer in some of the places we only briefly visited. The people are so friendly, funny, and good natured. The cities have such energy and are filled with students from the many universities. Art, culture, history all on view and easily visited. Never got a chance to visit the islands, fish the famous rivers, or even golf the famous courses, but I will go back and soon!
