Oban - Very good tour for the cost. The only complaint was the van we were in had musty smell and black mold on interior ceiling and walls. Very uncomfortable for my asthma. Guide was very good and the overall tour was well done.

Well told stories that... - Well told stories that gave an insight to the history of the local clans, which were placed into context by viewing the relevant landmarks.

Had a wonderful... - Had a wonderful historical trip around the city of Oban. Gus, was our guide and he was wonderful, full of knowledge. Seafood meal at the end was a perfect way to end the tour.

Charlie was amazing!... - Charlie was amazing! Communicated well in advance, so knowledgeable and met our individual requests. CHARLIE is outstanding!

A Last-Minute Solo Tour That Turned Into a Scottish Highlight! - I did this tour solo and booked it very last minute, but Charlie went out of his way to accommodate me. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing a wealth of information about the town’s history, its role in various wars, recent local events, Jacobite connections, and so much more. Much of the views along the way were absolutely breathtaking. As someone who's moved to Scotland and already seen my fair share of Highland coos, Charlie offered a great alternative for this part of the tour—visiting the fascinating Bonawe Historic Iron Furnace. I had the entire place to myself, and it was genuinely fantastic. It feels like a true hidden gem, with no other visitors (while I was there), and made the experience even more special. I highly recommend jumping into this tour. The seafood at the end was a real treat—I had the scallops in a garlic cheesy sauce, and they were so delicious. Plus, the view from the pier is stunning. Overall, it was a brilliant experience, and for the price (especially for a private tour), it’s absolutely worth it. Just come prepared—Charlie packs in a lot of history and information. It’s such a beautiful and story-rich part of Scotland, and this tour really brings it to life.

Family friendly, FUN, tour! - We had such a wonderful time on our historical tour near Oban with Gus and would absolutely LOVE to have him as our guide again. He picked us up on time and was very accommodating of our two children. He shared the rich history of many sites while making it fun for the kiddos. Do yourself a favor and book this tour today… you will not be disappointed!

Best tour service out there! - We absolutely loved this. It was our second day really going out and exploring Scotland and we were lucky enough to get a tour guide that has been a local for a long time. Campbell helped us experience Scotland like a local. He was able to answer everything we asked about all of the places he showed us and was so easy to get along with. When we were in town, it seemed like he knew everyone! It was so incredible to be able to know Oban past the touristy stuff. Campbell introduced us to a local business owner for the seafood portion of the trip and we were treated like we were family. The tour was fabulous and we saw some truky breathtaking views that we will remember forever. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

A nice Oban overview tour. - Robert was a decent guide. He knew the history but lacked the overall depth of details. Having said that we enjoyed the tour very much. The van held 12 ‘crammed’ passengers. The lunch was on the pier at some picnic benches, which was fine since it was a good weather day. The food was good.

A drive around the countryside - Mostly a panoramic tour with only a couple of spots to get out of the vehicle. Vehicle not really suited to a Panoramic tour if at or near capacity. Guide Neil & Driver Robert were knowledgeable and helpful

Don’t waste your money! - Just wanted to let everyone who was thinking about booking the Historical Tour and Seafood Experience to not bother. The driver was more interested in hearing his own voice and his idea of a historical tour of Oban was taking us through his life story of where he lived, his go cart escapades as a kid and his other experiences. No Highland Cow sightings either. There were basically no photo opportunities given to us and the Seafood Experience was a hut selling fish and chips. Very disappointing. Furthermore the Tartan Tour Company representative, Charles Henry didn't really care.
