Highlights
- Rest and be Thankful - Enjoy a brief photo opportunity at the ‘Rest and be Thankful’. This name originates from words carved into a stone near the intersection of the A83 and B828, by soldiers who constructed the original military road in 1753. The road was so lengthy and steep that it became customary for tired travelers to pause at the summit…
- Rest and be Thankful - Enjoy a brief photo opportunity at the ‘Rest and be Thankful’. This name originates from words carved into a stone near the intersection of the A83 and B828, by soldiers who constructed the original military road in 1753. The road was so lengthy and steep that it became customary for tired travelers to pause at the summit and express gratitude for reaching the highest point.
- Inveraray Castle - The tour price includes admission to Inveraray Castle, the residence of Clan Campbell.
- Inveraray - Following the castle visit, there is time to explore this 18th-century town, known for its distinctive white-washed buildings. The town is a splendid example of Scottish Georgian architecture. Visitors can also enjoy a leisurely lunch here.
- Kilchurn Castle - From Inveraray, the journey continues to the impressive Kilchurn Castle, located at the head of Loch Awe against a backdrop of towering mountains. There will be a short stop for photos of this mid-15th-century fortress.
- Luss - The final stop of the day is on the shores of Loch Lomond at the charming highland village of Luss. This conservation village is a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims, having been a Christian settlement for over 1500 years. Evidence of Viking raids in 1263 can be seen in the ‘hogback’ grave, a stone sculpture, in the ancient churchyard. The interior of Luss Parish Church, founded by the Celtic Saint MacKessog, has been beautifully restored, featuring a unique timber roof design and exquisite stained glass.

Great day - WOW - what a great day. We were picked up promptly at the port and taken around Loch Lamond, a guided tour of Inveraray Castle, an hour stop for lunch (own expense) in the charming town of Inverarary and onto Luss. We find a surprise bag on our seats filled with lots of local goodies. Our driver was fun and knowledgeable. A great day (despite the wee bit of rain). Don't hesitate to book this shore excursion trip.

Magical - One of the best tours I have been on. The scenery was just stunning and ample time was given at advertised stops plus a few extras were made along the way! The most important part of my experience was that they were true to their website promise.... Guaranteed departures, You book, you go! I was notified a few weeks before that I was the only person booked on my chosen tour. I, of course thought they would cancel on me with that being the case but no they didn't. I was given the option to change if I didn't feel comfortable being by myself or still go ahead with my tour. Communication back and forth was easy and replies were quick. When my ship docked I was indeed still the only guest and my tour guide, Dave was very knowledgeable, friendly,funny and I had the most amazing day!! Thankyou you so much!
