Learn MoreWhere our tours of Scotland take you
Discover Scotland from the cobbled streets of Edinburgh and the creative buzz of Glasgow with our carefully crafted Scotland city tours, before heading out into the wide-open landscapes of the Highlands. Our journeys take you to the haunting waters of Loch Ness, the dramatic coastline of the Isle of Skye, and through scenery shaped by castles, quiet lochs and centuries of stories. It’s an unhurried way to see the country, travelling at a pace that lets each place leave its mark.
Beyond the famous sights, our Scotland tour packages also explore lesser-known corners, from peaceful glens to characterful towns and island edges shaped by wind and sea. There’s always more to uncover, and every route is designed to help you discover Scotland beyond the obvious. Explore our full selection of Scotland tours to find your next adventure.
The stories that make Scotland unforgettable
Scottish tours with Rabbie's aren't just about ticking off landmarks. Our tours in Scotland take you inside working distilleries where you'll learn why water from specific burns creates distinct flavours, then sample the proof yourself. We stop at family-run restaurants serving Cullen skink made from recipes passed down through generations, fresh langoustines pulled from lochs that morning, and proper haggis that'll surprise you.
Our driver-guides share the history that textbooks miss. Explore Jacobite hiding spots, learn about clan feuds that shaped valleys and hear folklore that explains why certain hills are never climbed after dark. And you’ll see all that Scotland's nature has to offer: red deer watching at golden hour, seabird colonies on coastal cliffs, and autumn forests that look like they've been set ablaze.
Where your Scottish adventure begins
We offer Scotland tours from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen, Aviemore, London and Manchester. Most of our Isle of Skye Scotland tours start from Edinburgh's city centre or Glasgow's heart, and Loch Ness tours typically leave from Inverness.
Wherever you're starting from, we'll meet you at an easy-to-find central location. No hunting for obscure meeting points or navigating confusing car parks.
Where will you travel in 2026?
Discover why Spring 2026 is the perfect time for travelling on a small-group tour.
Scotland trips for every schedule
For a quick escape, our day tours pack remarkable experiences into single days, perfect for those short on time but not on curiosity. Or for those looking for a long weekend adventure, our 3-day Scotland tour options explore the Highlands properly, with overnight stays in characterful towns.
Or perhaps you're after the full immersion of our week-long or 17-day adventures that take you from lochs to islands to whisky country and back again. We offer everything from intensive Scotland day trips to sprawling weeks-long Scottish Highlands tours that give you time to breathe in that Highland air.
How you’ll travel on our Scottish tours
Forget massive tour buses that can't navigate narrow Highland passes. Our coach tours of Scotland use 16-seat Mercedes mini-coaches with panoramic windows designed so you don’t miss a glimpse of the scenery. These smaller vehicles mean we can take you down single-track roads to hidden waterfalls, stop at the viewpoints that other coaches rumble past, and pull into the car park at the local bakery that's been making steak bridies for centuries. You'll have a proper seat with plenty of legroom. Better yet, our Scotland bus tours mean you're free to sample the local tipple without worrying about driving.
While we're known for our coach tours to Scotland, we also offer experiences that include Scotland's scenic railways. Some tours combine coach travel with journeys on historic rail lines, giving you the best of both worlds.
Driver-guides who bring Scotland alive
Our guides aren't just drivers who point at things. They're storytellers, history enthusiasts, and locals who genuinely love showing you their homeland. Many have been with us for years, perfecting their craft of mixing facts with folklore. They know which castle has the best ghost stories, where Robert the Bruce really hid in that cave, and have the answers to questions you didn't know you wanted to ask. On our Rabbie's tours of Scotland, you're learning from some of the best storytellers in the world, allowing you to experience the culture of this historic country fully.
What's included in our Scotland tour packages?
Every tour includes your expert driver-guide, transport in our comfortable mini-coaches, and carefully planned routes that maximise your time. Day tours cover entrance fees to key attractions, while our multi-day guided tours of Scotland include accommodation, daily breakfast, and often additional meals. Select Scotland tours come with tastings, while others feature castle entries or boat trips. We're upfront about what's included in each unique tour, so there are no surprise costs when you're trying to enjoy your holiday.
Where you'll sleep on overnight adventures
Our luxury Scotland tours and multi-day trips to Scotland include hand-picked accommodation that reflects local character. Think family-run hotels in Highland villages and comfortable guesthouses in island towns. We avoid massive chain hotels that could be anywhere to ensure the most authentic experience on your guided tour of Scotland.
Single travellers aren't stuck with hefty supplements on most tours, and rooms are clean, comfortable, and actually Scottish.
Do you need a passport to go to Scotland?
If you're travelling from elsewhere in the UK (England, Wales, or Northern Ireland), you don't need a passport to visit Scotland. Just bring photo ID for any domestic flights if you're flying within the UK.
However, if you're joining us from outside the UK, you'll need your passport and any visas required for UK entry. Scotland uses British pounds sterling, drives on the left, and the plug sockets are the same as the rest of Britain. Our Scotland private tours welcome travellers from across the globe, and our guides are brilliant at making everyone feel part of the adventure.
How many people are on our small group tours of Scotland?
All of our escorted tours to Scotland are limited to groups of 16. These smaller, more intimate groups mean better conversations and easier access to viewpoints off the beaten track without causing traffic chaos. Our small Scottish coach tours let you actually get to know your fellow travellers, unlike massive coach trips where you barely learn anyone's name.
