Great day trip from Glasgow! - Had a wonderful day exploring. Our guide was very informative and entertaining. He really likes his job. Oban is a great town. Very walkable and had excellent fish and chips for lunch. We made stops along the way to and from Oban. Saw and heard much beautiful history. The bits of rain only added to the experience. Would definitely recommend.

A very enjoyable highland tour! - Great trip! We could enjoy all the stops, did not feel rushed although we covered a lot of ground. The main stops were very nice, and we also made shorter stops at great viewpoints. Would definetly recommend !

Amazing trip with Jeff C - from Glasgow - We had a AMAZING day trip to the highlands with Jeff C. He was a great speaker with so many facts and he was hilarious. He took us off the tour so we could see the Highland Coo’s - highlight of our experience. He shared his own personal love for the Highlands and that made our experience even better. We were 4 women traveling together and felt safe and comfortable. I would recommend this tour and especially Jeff as the guide to anyone! He even gave us some facts about Bollywood movies shot in the highlands. Thanks for a great day, Jeff.

Bus day trip to Oban from Glasgow - The bus trip was most relaxing and the scenery fantastic. Our driver was also professional and the bus clean and very comfortable. Well worth the journey and the entrance into Oban was something quite spectacular.

Lovely!!! - My 20-something children said this was their very favorite thing in Scotland. It was because of our tour guide, Fraser. His stories and engagement with us made the Highlands come alive. He included music in the tour and told us about the music and stories about different places we stopped that really kept us interested the entire trip. It was so beautiful and we enjoyed the castles we stopped at plus our lunch at Oben. Highly recommend this way of seeing the Highlands.

History, great scenery, and laughter. - Beautiful day seeing splendid Inveraray Castle and some of the most picturesque ruined castles in Scotland,. We drove by lochs, enjoyed lunch in the pretty fishing port of Oban, and visited the barren valley where the massacre of Glencoe occurred in 1692. The driver, Grant, was entertaining and knowledgeable, never tedious, and he knows that he need not talk all the time. Some quiet time for reflection and enjoyment of the scenery and atmosphere is welcome. Also happy with Grant's wide range of Scottish music. An excellent day. Good va.ue for money.

Good walk - Long walk up from town if your a senior citizen. When you get to the top great view over Oban. But no information on the monument when you get there.
