Great fun - What a great way to spend a few hours exploring some of the outlying parts of Oban. The bikes and equipment provided by Jason were excellent (bikes and helmets seemed brand new), as was the service provided with the pre tour call the day before to explain everything, where the bikes would be dropped off, etc. We completed the 'Tour of the toon' tour which was challenging enough for us novice and unfit cyclists! Parts of the tour were too steep for us to cycle up but walking up was no issue - the benefit being the downward hills to glide down after! Great value for money and would certainly recommend. Thank you!

What a fun way to explore Oban! - Looking for something a bit different as a way to explore Oban? Adventurental bike rental/tours is a perfect way to do so! With 4 different self-guided bike tours available (including narration on what you're seeing) it allows you to go at your own pace and see the sights up close and personal. Jason the owner was extremely helpful and super responsive in getting us set up and on our way. We loved every bit of our tour and enjoyed seeing the countryside, getting fresh air and some activity in our day. Touring by bike was so much better for us than by car as we watched sheep grazing, ducks swimming in a pond, beautiful vistas and could stop easily to take photos and just drink it all in. It was a perfect way to spend our day.
