The Best Scotland Tours from Edinburgh with Rabbies

Mini-coach Tours to the Scottish Highlands and West Coast Islands

Take any of the 2-5 days guided Scotland tours put together by Rabbies and I guarantee that you will leave Scotland thinking it is one of the most gorgeous countries you've ever seen. I did and it's made me go back year after year.

Combined, the itineraries of these longer, multi-day coach tours cover all of the best places in Scotland (not just the highlights, but many beautiful off-the-beaten path sights as well). The challenge is deciding which of the 7 trips to go on or whether it's worth combining two tours and this is where local knowledge comes in.

As someone who knows Scotland fairly well, I can say that the decision to go on one particular tour or another is influenced mainly by how much time you've got available and whether you've seen parts of Scotland before.

For example, if you have already taken a trip to Glencoe, Loch Ness (including Inverness), it may be worth going on one of the tours exploring other, more remote parts of the Scottish Highlands like the Far North or the North West Highlands or the harder to reach Western Isles. All of these tours will also go through the Central or West Highlands, giving you a chance to revisit the places you've seen before.

The Rabbies long tours of Scotland itineraries:

Because of the remoteness of the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles and the routes needed to take you there, there is a certain degree of overlapping between the itineraries but each and every of these trips is designed to explore a different area of Scotland:

2-Day Highland Tours

• Loch Ness and Inverness from Edinburgh - The only two day Scotland tour by Rabbies and one of the most popular choices with visitors because it's cheap, relatively short and yet it leaves you with a good impression of Scotland's highlights. For first time visitors, I would recommend this over any other one day tours of Scotland.

3-Day Highland and Island Tours

• Isle of Skye & The Highlands from Edinburgh - The only three day Scottish tour by Rabbies and the one I consider to be the absolute best value for money in terms of length, itinerary and price. It is well and truly THE tour of choice for exploring the best places in Scotland.

4-Day Whisky Tour to the West Coast of Scotland

• Islay and the Whisky Coast from Edinburgh or Glasgow - A four day whisky tour to the West Coast of Scotland including Oban and the West Highlands. The focus, though, is on exploring the many distilleries on the Isle of Islay.

5-Day Tours to the Highlands and Islands

• Iona, Mull & the Isle of Skye from Edinburgh - A five day excursion including many of the best places to visit in the Scottish Highlands including Eilean Donan Castle, Loch Ness, Oban, Loch Lomond and Skye. This is also the only five day Scottish tour to go to the Isles of Mull, Iona and the unmissable Staffa.
• Skye & The Far North from Edinburgh - A five day Scotland tour which includes some of the best known sights in Scotland like Eilean Donan Castle, Loch Ness and Glencoe but its main focus is on exploring the breathtaking beauty of the remote wilderness of the Northwest Highlands.
• Outer Hebrides from Edinburgh - This is the only five day tour which explores the Western Isles of Lewis and Harris, at the same time including some of the beautiful Isle of Skye, North West Highlands and Loch Ness.
• Orkney and Scotland's Northern Coast from Edinburgh - A unique five day trip which includes a few famous sights in Scotland such as Glencoe, Ben Nevis and Inverness but it is mainly designed to explore the remote North West Highlands, Northern Coast and Orkney.

Tour Dates and Times: The 2-days and 3-days Scotland tours with departure from Edinburgh run all year long but only on certain days of the week. The 4-days and 5-days tours to the Scottish Highlands and Islands run only in the summer (April to October) on certain dates or days of the week.
