Lovely tour, cool guide (Stefan) telling us all the stories about the fascinating history and culture as well as mentioning relevant films like Braveheart. Only bummer was that in Melrose we couldn't really visit the abbey as the porter was on lunch break and our guide even expected him to be. But other than that it was perfect to see some of the beautiful nature around Edinburgh :)

Andy was the best guide we’ve had the entire time we’ve been in Scotland! He made the trip so lovely and personable and we’re so glad the tour wasn’t cancelled even though there was only two of us. Everything was beautiful and exciting and we’d recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour with our amazing Rabbie's guide Graham. He made the rainy grey day fun with his stories and great taste in music. Would definitely recommend this tour to get acquainted with the lovely and picturesque borderlands.

Great tour and guide. You can see so much more territory on a tour like this than on your own. Worth every penny.

Great day trip! Guide was informative, trio was smooth, sights were amazing! Definitely recommend!
