Walking Tour of Oban - Michelle was our tour guide for a walking tour of Oban. She was very prompt and professional. Michelle adapted our tour to fit my walking needs and was very knowledgeable about Oban and the area. She left no questions unanswered and shared suggestions on restaurants and other things to experience while in Oban. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone going to Oban.

Scottish Texan Knows Her Roots! - What a surprise to hear a Texas drawl coming from a lady wearing a kilt! Ah, but she had direct family ties to Scotland and truly the knowledge of a local. Our walking guide was outstanding! She showed us interesting historical sites, beautiful scenery and she knew answers to all our questions! I'm embarrassed to have forgotten her name, but she an excellent guide and we had a fabulous walk! Meeting us at the dock was a bonus.

Fun with education - Michelle was extraordinarily well informed, accessible, enthusiastic without being a cheerleader, insightful and unguarded. Perfect application of journalist’s curiosity and fearless pursuit of understanding, along with a host’s solicitousness.
You won’t miss a thing, and you’ll enjoy her personality.

My first solo Journey - No particular favourite part as I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Beautiful place to visit. Lots of other beautiful little islands in close proximity to Oban. Had some very nice sea food. People were very helpful and friendly. I opted for a solo guided tour of Oban with Imagine Alba, my guide was Michelle. She was a really nice person and excellent guide. Had great knowledgeable of Oban and its history, she was a great story teller. I would highly recommend the guided tour, set me up nicely for the rest of my stay.
