5.00Our guide Rich made the trip so great, he talked to us about history and fun facts, he drove so carefully and made sure we were safe on the road, and he played some wonderful music! We drove along the coast and the view was amazing!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip with Kevin and Duncan. They were both hilarious, telling tales and history with flair. It's a long day and we didn't even notice we were having so much fun listening to Kevin tell stories of the many battles, what each location is known for, etc. He played Scottish music representative of each spot, and was excellent at ensuring we were all having a great day. There was ample time at each stop, and even when returning, Kevin provided suggestions for how to spend your evening in the city. Highly recommend!

5.00This is a phenomenal tour. I had a wonderful tour guide for the day whose name I can’t remember so sorry he was really great. Everything from the castle to the ruins to the drive-through Northumberland all of it. This is just a wonderful tour.
Great tour

5.00Driver was great and the group size was perfect. Our driver was very knowledgeable and helped ensure we got tickets to the broom flying lessons which was the main reason we booked. I would suggest removing the first stop from the itinerary.

5.00Al was a fantastic tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable on history and the Alnwick castle and region history. The weather could not have been better. We had just the right amount of time at the castle and all the appropriate stops. It did not feel rushed and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would recommend a Rabbie's tour with Al to everyone!
Go to castle, but not on this tour

2.00If your main goal is to visit Alnwick castle, just do that separately not through the tour. You waste so much time on a bus stopping at random spots for no real reason. You can save sooo much money taking the train there and buy a ticket separately. Plus, you can have more time. They said three hours would be plenty of time there and it wasn’t even close. You could easily spend 5-6 hours there minimum to get to see everything. Very disappointed we didn’t just do that. Waste of time and money if your goal is to visit the castle. This is not to say our tour guide wasn’t great. He definitely made the ride more enjoyable with the stories. But it doesn’t justify the cost even by half.
Solid Day Trip

3.00First, Rabbies is a wonderful tour company, I highly recommend them. The 16 pax coaches are the way to go - more intimate but also the ease of getting on and off the coach makes it worth it. As far as this tour, it was just okay. It honestly is not something I would recommend. The borders they referencing can be skipped, I feel like they were unnecessary filler as there wasn't anything to see. Our first stop was a small town called Kelso with no personality and I feel like we stopped just to give cafe's some business. There is a chapel there that is takes 5 minutes to take pictures. Nothing to see. The next stop is Alnwick Castle and is in a cute village. We had almost 3 hours here, in my opinion too long. Because of stopping at the village prior we were late by 10 minutes to the guided tours (free) and the next one's were after we left. So you were left to wander on your own. The castle was nice, about and hour was plenty for the inside but honestly it is geared towards young fans of Harry Potter as they had things to do like "learn to ride a broom stick". You had to pay extra to go to the gardens - don't do it. An absolute waste and not very pretty at all. The most fascinating thing here was all the sheep. I wandered those for about 15 minutes. That left a good 1.5 hours to kill so I went into town. Cute normal village. Gives you time to eat lunch but for those of us that don't really want to do that it was alot of twiddling our thumbs. Because we had a bit of extra time our driver took us over to Bamburgh Castle as it was on the way back. Now this is something they should add to the stop. Take away the small villages and give us time to there. We had 15 minutes to take pictures but this would have been a great place to go see. I asked our driver why we didn't have this as part of the tour and he said because it takes time -- but again take away all the small silly unnecessary stops and we would have had time. On the way back we stopped again at another border town. The exciting thing here was petting a local cat - seriously there was nothing to do or see (I mean there was a ruin of a castle that is now just something that looks like a chimney sticking out of the ground that you cannot even get close to). All in all it was a long day on the bus, alot of wasted time and the castle was just okay. With so many other castles out there skip this one unless you are running out of things to do.
