Great trip to Alnwick Castle and borders. Enjoyed the fact that the group was rather small, we got many small brakes and even tho I was running a bit late, the tour still waited for us. The guide shared a lot of interesting information during the ride. Overall would recommend this tour !

This was a great tour, Alnwick and Bamburgh were so beautiful! We also stopped in couple small towns, they were equally as beautiful. We had a great time, and our tour guide Ally was awesome! He had so much information about everything, it was a smaller tour on a 16-seat bus, which was really nice. If you want to see some countryside and castles, this is a great tour!

Andrew Swain was our driver/guide. He was both informative and fun. Selected this tour because my granddaughter is a huge Harry Potter fan, but she was enthralled with the entire experience including the Percy History. Only negative was lack of options for food and it was a busy Saturday.

We had a wonderful and interesting trip. Thanks to our friendly and funny driver and guide William! He told us a lot of interesting stories und we saw not only Alnwick Castle, but also the ruins of the Kelso Monastery, Bambergh Castle and the rests of Dunbar Castle ( even if we had just a short time to visit the last two). I can really recommend this trip! And William!

We knew very little about the Borders area and the Alnwick castle. We learned a lot about both from our wonderful guide, Jim Scott, and the tours in the castle. We highly recommend Jim for his knowledge, humor and music selection. Rabbie’s bosses: Give him a raise!

Absolutely wonderful day trip to Anwick Castle, Northumberland Coast and Borders with Jim Scott. He kept every single person through stories, recommendations, laughs and sing songs. Perfect example of what makes Rabbies tour guides the best
-
Franzisca is an excellent tour guide. She’s funny, friendly, drove well and was very interactive with the tour participants. Me and my family really had a great time in this tour. Thank you Franzizca, Rabbies Trail Burners and team..we had a good time.

Our driver and guide, Ross, made this trip amazing. He narrated the trip with stories about Scotland's past and present. The scenery from the coach van was beautiful. I can't speak to the castle tour, as I didn't do it. (It's somewhat expected that you will). However, I toured the gardens and took the Poison Plants tour, which was really interesting. (Admission to the gardens is a separate charge). The town was quaint and easy to walk around. The highlight was a stop at the ruins of Dunbar Castle along the coast. A quick stop at Bamburgh Castle affords another photo op.

Swain was an amazing tour guide and driver. He gave us some many fun facts and antidotes to take home and share. The scenery was so beautiful on the way to and from. I got to do some broom flying lessons at the Alnwick and live out my Harry Potter fantasy. The town was so cute and the second castle was massive and was great for some beautiful pictures of the sea.
