Traveler reviews
North East coastal day out
Was a great day out, lots of places visited and plenty of time at each to have a good look around. Only negative was the guide highly recommended Cullen skink and found it to be a very salty creamy potato and fish soup. Nothing like a chowder as suggested.
Amazing tour
Amazing tour through Aberdeenshire. The castles and country side are so beautiful. The tour guide was very kind.
Incredible journey
We had a fantastic day, and can't thank Alan enough for his hospitality. He had proactively adjusted the tour to avoid heavy traffic, which meant we still did a good amount of activities. He kindly offered to help take photos, shared facts and legends about the area, and drove well on the road. It was worth getting to know Scotland a bit more intimately and recommend this tour to anyone. We visited Slains Castle (don't miss this!), a Puffin nesting site, several harbours and the Dolphin Sanctuary. He adjusted timings as we went, to ensure we stayed on track and had the appropriate amount of time at each spot.
Lots of driving - not a lot to see and do
We enjoyed this tour and feel we saw a lot of the coast outside of Aberdeen. That said, almost all the time was spent driving as compared to the time actually seeing and experiencing things. The coast is lovely, but a lot of the stops are 5 minutes to take a photo. The lunch stop provided only a few options that had availability (tables) at the time we stopped. Our guide was okay, but answered too many questions saying he didn’t know. Overall, we enjoyed the day, but cannot unconditionally recommend this experience,
A Perfect Scottish Day with Douglas
It was a truly memorable journey through Scotland’s breathtaking coastal areas and rich history, led by our fantastic Rabbie’s tour guide and driver, Douglas. Friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful, he took great care of everyone, shared fascinating stories at every stop, and kept the trip entertaining from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Scotland
