Operated by Rabbie’s Small Group Tours

Rabbie’s small group tours are driven by curiosity and guided by storytellers. We find the stories that go deeper and live longer in travellers' minds. On our journeys, everyone’s hungry for the little-known or just-happened, and we can go after them: no track too small, too trodden or obscure. No need for scripts, because our guides know places like the back of their hand.

Our Brand New Tours

We're always on the lookout for new stories. And there's nothing like hearing a startling piece of history or seeing a beautiful place for the first time. On our tours, you take away more than a fridge magnet or postcard. You take away stories.

So in 2024, we're launching brand new tours from departure points in the UK, Ireland, and Europe.

Perhaps you'll end up inside a 19th-century mansion? On a perfect Scottish island? Standing at the base of an ancient stone? Or maybe all of the above. Wherever you end up, it'll be a story you'll tell time and time again.

Where will curiosity take you in 2024?
