My tour was cancelled because the driver was sick but I wasn’t informed until getting there, which was a bit annoying as I took the ferry especially for the tour. Still I was moved free of charge to the Ulva Island Explorer and that tour was really good :)

With husband on a cane, walking was kinda out of the question! This tour around Oban was just the ticket! Our driver/guide was informative and charming. Several tour stops broke up the drive and, as it was a rather warm day, the van's A/C was lovely!

We loved hearing about the culture of the island from a local. Leah was professional yet warm. No regrets.
