Excellent tour of West Highlands - Oban and Inverrary Castle were the highlights. We would have liked more time in Oban and fewer photo stops of various castles.

Excellent tour - Cameron and Neil looked after the tour group very well. Cameron was an excellent storyteller, he kept us entertained during the bus trip. Neil did an excellent job of driving the bus!

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.

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.
