Fabulous trip to the Highlands with Colin - We had a fantastic trip with Colin. He was so informative and stopped often to give us the best views. Lunch in Oban was delicious! Thanks for the recommendation Colin. The snow capped mountains of Glencoe were unbelievable. We are so glad we took this trip and had Colin as our guide. He is a great driver and we felt very safe.

Do it all in a day! - Great tour, packed about as much as you could into one day on the Highlands. Dave was a great driver and provided great historical knowledge, and witty commentary as well. Would gladly take another tour with him!

Loved all of the stops... - Loved all of the stops and wished we could have stayed longer, but that's a compliment to the tour company for showing us locations that we should come back to. Scott was also a ball of sunshine and made the tour all the more better.

Great one day tour - I can highly recommend this tour! Our guide Scott was amazing, it was so much fun spending the day with him and the rest of the group. We visited a lot of nice spots, sometimes just for a quick photo, sometimes for longer. If you are searching for a day trip from Glasgow, this is it.

Unforgettable memories - My first tour in Scotland was simply AMAZING! Johnny, Harry, and Ian were fantastic and truly made a big difference to our day. They were very friendly, and we loved chatting with them and hearing the beautiful stories about the places we visited. They also recommended fantastic spots for coffee and lunch. The van was comfortable, and of course the views were absolutely magical. We’ve already decided that all our future trips will be with Discover Scotland. Thank you for such an unforgettable day!

Lochs, and mountains and castles, oh my! - Despite the on-again, off-again windy, rainy Scottish weather, I had the most enjoyable day on the Oban Highlands and Castles tour. The mountains in Ballachulish were an imposing sight. Castle Stalker in the middle of Loch Laich and Kilchurn Castle in Dalmally were neat to see. But the highlight for me was the majestic Inveraray Castle, also known as Duneagle Castle in “Downton Abbey”—the grounds and the rooms were simply stunning. Another highlight was our unforgettable guide and driver, Dave, who had the most wicked sense of humour, which kept me in stitches. And his historic tales kept me fascinated as we navigated the scenic, winding roads. Thank you, Dave for an unforgettable day!

SO WORTH IT!!! - It was AMAZING! The group was fairly small, only 7 ppl in total, which made it a great tour experience. The tour guide, I think his name was Chris? Was so nice and was very knowledgeable. He had great recommendations. The scenery and places were beautiful! Overall, it was a fantastic tour and I HIGHLY recommend it!!

Lifelong memories made - Perfect day, memories for life. Guide Kieran was fantastic, funny, witty, and extremely knowledgeable. He kept our whole family entertained and theday just flew by. Stunning scenery, postcard towns, and all in great comfort. Discover Scotland's bus is much more spacious than the ones I've experienced on the other big companies.
