“Spending the day with Ron was like having a pocket encyclopedia of the history of Scotland within reach for an entire day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, had a sweet taste in music and showed us all the best sights! I definitely downloaded his Scottish playlist so I can enjoy it when I head back home! We thoroughly enjoyed learning about and experiencing a few of Scotland’s treasures in our very comfortable van excursion. We took in expansive views, visited some amazing castles and fell in love with the incredible Loch Lomond. Another win with Viator recommended tours😊!”
Spend a full day from Glasgow hitting Loch Lomond, Rest and Be Thankful, Inveraray, Oban, Castle Stalker, and Glencoe with a guide.
“Nick was a wonderful guide, sharing a lot of interesting facts while being funny. Covid rules were adhered to perfectly, with masks all along the way because distancing was not possible in the little van. The only awkward part for me was the last stop at the pub, travelling solo this left me a bit lost, but for the rest the trip was really enjoyable!”

Called again a few minutes later and was told sorry the guide doesn’t feel well your tour is now cancelled. Luckily Rabbies tours saved the day instead and we were able to book a great trip (probably even better) for less $.”
