Widely regarded as the ‘Oscars of tourism’, the World Travel Awards was introduced in 1993 and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of tourism, hospitality and travel.
Rabbie’s was founded by Robin Worsnop in Edinburgh in 1993 and began as a ‘one man, one van’ adventure.
Today, the tour operator offers small-group tours with guaranteed departures from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Aviemore, Aberdeen, London, Manchester, York, Bristol, Bath, Killarney, and Dublin. Its scheduled tours also span mainland Europe, including Italy and Switzerland.

“These nominations are a reflection of the passion and dedication of our entire team, from our expert driver-guides to the people behind the scenes who work hard to create unforgettable travel experiences.
