Robert was a decent guide. He knew the history but lacked the overall depth of details. Having said that we enjoyed the tour very much. The van held 12 ‘crammed’ passengers. The lunch was on the pier at some picnic benches, which was fine since it was a good weather day. The food was good.
Family friendly, FUN, tour!

We had such a wonderful time on our historical tour near Oban with Gus and would absolutely LOVE to have him as our guide again. He picked us up on time and was very accommodating of our two children. He shared the rich history of many sites while making it fun for the kiddos. Do yourself a favor and book this tour today… you will not be disappointed!
Best tour service out there!

We absolutely loved this. It was our second day really going out and exploring Scotland and we were lucky enough to get a tour guide that has been a local for a long time. Campbell helped us experience Scotland like a local. He was able to answer everything we asked about all of the places he showed us and was so easy to get along with. When we were in town, it seemed like he knew everyone! It was so incredible to be able to know Oban past the touristy stuff. Campbell introduced us to a local business owner for the seafood portion of the trip and we were treated like we were family. The tour was fabulous and we saw some truky breathtaking views that we will remember forever. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!
Worth the time spent

Driven to see around Obin when you do not have a car. Gavin was informative and receptive to our questions. Thank you.

So much history explained with a depth of knowledge of Oban. Amazing ancient castles and beautiful Kirk with Scottish scenery. The tour finished back at the dock for a welcoming dram of whisky and awonderful seafood lunch.
