Rabbie’s Tours, an Edinburgh-based small group tour company known for journeys driven by curiosity and guided by storytellers, has four new tours in Italy for 2026. The addition brings the company’s total Italy offerings to 16 unique options ranging from three to 13 days, with many accessing Switzerland.
The new 2026 itineraries, which begin in March, are available for purchase now with 2025 rates/early bird discounted pricing. Six and 13-day options depart from Rome and Milan.
Rabbie’s tours in Italy start at $1,305 per person, including lodging with a focus on locally owned, three- and four-star properties and a variety of inclusions such as boat rides across Lake Como, entry to Pompeii Archaeological Site, and tastings at a winery in Montepulciano.
From its roots as a one-person operation in 1993, Rabbie’s has grown by offering customers one-of-a-kind experiences, guaranteed departures, and access to off the beaten track locations via their small group coach tours (16 passenger group size) across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe.
The company expanded their operations from the UK to Italy in 2022, and has been steadily growing their presence, now with 13 tours operating around the country in 2025.
CEO Hazel Rickett, who began her career at Rabbie’s as one of the company’s very first driver-guides, says: “We are thrilled to expand in Italy, growing to 16 unique offerings that are designed for both first-time visitors and those who have been to Italy again and again because they want to experience the magic of its food, culture, and its people.”
