Skara Brae is a sight that is not to be missed, as well as all the other history in the Orkney Islands. We are now considering taking more Rabbi's tours in Ireland, because we were so impressed with this trip.”

The driver I had was amazing at pointing out all kinds of things on the drive and in the place that we had stopped, he also had an expansive amount of knowledge on kinds of subjects and was about to answer most questions that the group had.

Review of Rabbie’s 5-day Iona, Mull and Skye tour from Edinburgh, with itinerary details, costs, lodging, ferry tips, and who should book.

“This was a fantastic trip due, in no small part, to the extraordinary leader. She was knowledgeable, creative, energetic, and went above and beyond in making sure that we were all comfortable, happy, and well informed. She was also a careful and responsible driver. Our van was comfortable as well. The itinerary covered a lot of ground but was planned in a way in which each ride was not too long.

This trip was a high point in a one month stay in the United Kingdom, which included a cycling trip…”

“We did a 10 night private tour with Iain - 5 nights in England and 5 nights in Scotland. He met our every expectation plus so much more! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He took us to many interesting sites off the "beaten path" as well as the major attractions. Breathtaking, beautiful scenery. I highly recommend Serenity Scotland.”
