Thoroughly enjoyable tour to Scottish highlands - Punctual pick up at designated spot. Introducing the passengers to Scottish History and explaining what to expect during the tour. Basic safety instruction.
The guide was very jovial and bubbly to say the least. The accent used made it a little hard to comprehend a few words, but the essence was conveyed.
He gave enough time at stopping places and managed to inculcate time discipline on the tourists also. He could relate to different tourist nationalities with some related titles bits.
We two enjoyed the tour very much.

Great Day! - Wee David was a wonderful tour guide! He shared lots of information along the way. Loved the town of Oban. We had lunch there- would have loved a little longer to allow for time to walk around. Overall great trip with a wonderful guide. I would highly recommend this trip to adults- it would be a long day for children.

Never ever again. - Complete waste of our money. We could't understand ANYTHING the guide said, his accent was so thick. We have no trouble with anyone else in Scotland at the hotel and restaurants and shops. And worse than that was the problem with the heat. The van was outrageously HOT and we asked over 15 times to turn it down. He would, and then it would go on again within a minute. He said it was automated or something. Horrible. And the driver was going extremely fast on small curvy roads in the rain hitting large puddles of water flying all over his windshield. He was a really nice guy but the whole trip was a nightmare. We felt trapped and just counted the minutes till it was over.
