Fantastic Tour - Jimmy was an awesome tour guide. Very informative and polite. He took the time to explain the ferry process and made sure we were all on the same page. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks for the memories, Jimmy! Unforgettable experience with Rabbi Tours. We didn't want to leave the island.

- My son and I had the most wonderful day in Bute courtesy of Rabbie's tours. The coach was clean and always on time but the best bit was the driver Stevie. He had great knowledge of the area and his commentary was fascinating and his sense of humour enhanced the experience. Highly recommended!

Don’t bother - The Isle of Bute has some beautiful scenery and a few interesting places but the people we have encountered are extremely rude and hostile. The only places we had great service from was Wee Zoe’s with friendly and helpful staff.
