Welcome to Rabbie’s multi-award winning small group tour programme to Scotland and the north of England.
Experience Scotland and England’s splendour with Rabbie's personalised small group tours. Our extensive tour programme from Edinburgh and Glasgow covers the Scottish Highlands and Islands and the best of northern Britain – the Lake District and York.
Guaranteed Experience: We believe our tours really are as good as we say they are, but if you do not agree we want to hear why. These guarantees are made in good faith and apply to Rabbie’s Trail Burners scheduled small group tours and are limited to the transport element of the tour, and do not apply to third parties' services, such as your accommodation, meals and attractions.
Small groups mean you can discover the real country, get off the beaten track and onto the back roads where other tours cannot go.
We promise to get you in touch with the people, places, history and legends of our country and deliver you a unique and memorable experience to last you a lifetime. Our local guides are your hosts; each hand-picked for their pride and passion and dedicated to delivering outstanding travel experiences.
We restrict our tours to 16 passengers maximum to give you a more personal service and remain the only 5 Star operator to offer this personal guarantee. Touring with a maximum of 16 passengers you get more for your money, more personal attention, more time with the locals, more time off the bus, more time on the back-roads and just more of an authentic, friendly experience.
Our Philosophy - Responsible Tourism
Since our beginnings in 1993 our guiding principles have been influenced by the philosopher E.F.Schumacher "Small is Beautiful". We aim to minimise the environmental 'footprint' left by our customers and maximise the economic and social benefits to the local communities you visit. In recognition we were very proud to be awarded the inaugural Scottish Thistle Sustainable Tourism Award in 2007, winner of the special judges award for “Inspiration” from Scottish Business in the Community (2009), and the Vision in Business for the Environment of Scotland (VIBES) Award in 2009.
Our dedication to our customers has also been recognised with prestigious Thistle Awards for Extra Mile in Customer Care and Operator Programme of the Year in 2009.
