Small-group Hebrides and Skye tour from Edinburgh with ferry hopping, real history stops, and flexible viewpoints in a 16-seat coach.

“I had taken a Rabbie’s tour previously and was very satisfied, so I recommended the company to two others and booked again. Rabbie’s tours themselves remain well organized, and the drivers are knowledgeable and friendly. However, this time the accommodations arranged through them were disappointing and, in one case, unacceptable. One B&B room was extremely small, with a bathroom so cramped it was difficult to use, and the shower barely worked. Another B&B was clearly unsanitary, with a stained mattress, visible mold in the bathroom, and generally poor cleanliness. Breakfast there consisted only of cereal and toast while other guests were served cooked meals. Rabbie’s did respond courteously ...”

Guided Isle of Lewis loop from Stornoway with a small group, private air-conditioned pickup, and time at Butt of Lewis, Carloway Broch, and Callanish.

“Our shore time on the Isle of Lewis was limited to 6.5 hrs (UK immigration checked all 3,000 passengers delaying going ashore by 3 hrs) and without the efficient work of our guide we would have missed some of the highlights of the Island. We got to see everything described in the excursion description plus a couple hidden gems. Overall, very pleased with Hebridean Isle Tours.”

Inverness to Lewis, Harris, and back in 3 days, with a small group, included ferry, Arnol Blackhouse, and big shoreline views.

“This three day journey with Kev and Willi was absolutely brilliant. Intending to do this trip alone, I opted to join this outing and could have never seen or done any of the visits that these fine gentlemen shared with our group. It was like a trip back to yesteryear learning about the past of Hebrides. I was completely gobsmacked by the beautiful sandy beaches and amazing countryside that I woke up to each morning. The lodging was exceptional and served a wonderful breakfast to begin each day.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 5 days (approx.) · from $1,901

Five days from Edinburgh to Islay for 10 distillery visits, tastings, and 4 nights in Bowmore, with scenic ferries and Highland stops.

“Absolutely amazing. The (whisky-related) trip of a lifetime. The accommodations at Bowmore House were lovely, as were the hosts. Each distillery had something unique and special to offer, and they were all wonderful. But the trip wouldn't have been possible without our amazing guide, Morey. His snarky banter, whisky and historical knowledge, and relationship with each distillery is what really made this trip perfect. Highly recommend.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Day in Stornoway with Luke! Our day in Stornoway was made truly special thanks to our incredible guide, Luke. He greeted us impeccably dressed in traditional tweed, setting the perfect tone for our journey through the Hebrides. A true historian at heart, Luke brought the past to life as we explored the Calanais Standing Stones, sharing fascinating stories and insights that made the ancient site even more meaningful. We continued on to the Gearrannan Blackhouse Village, where Luke described the challenging lives of those who once called it home. Unfortunately, we had an unexpected encounter with the infamous Scottish midges—but Luke handled it with humor and professiona...”

“I found the most memorable parts of the tour to be the visit to the Culloden Battlefield, the unparalleled beauty of the Highlands, including Glencoe, the Isles of Lewis and Harris, the camaraderie of our tour group from different countries and our amazing tour guide/driver, Jamie, who brought Scottish history to life for us and did everything possible to make the most of our visit. Our accommodation was very comfortable and the whole tour was great value for the cost. I would love to take another such tour.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 5 days (approx.) · from $1,022

5 days from Edinburgh to Lewis and Harris with ferries, guided walks, whisky stops, Callanish Stones, and Highlands scenery.

“It's my first time on Isle of Lewis and I don't think visit here is worthy. Lewis is castle is basically empty. There is empty ballroom for hire, empty hall for hire and empty library. The attached museum main purpose is to sell you souvenirs. The standing stones attraction make me think that someone dug stones in the ground to make attraction site. Not a single post how, when and why it was build. Entire walk area - very much like entire island - is swamp like. Also in my two encounter with locals made me prefer I haven'tet them at all.”
