A well planned excellent tour. - Michele our guide was very attentive to our needs, gave us a lot of insight into the areas we travelled, a good driver, safe and calm. We had plenty of stops for bathroom, drinks, and a good 2 hours for Lunch in Oban. The tour ended with a small dram, and a teacake, I would highly recommend this tour, the vehicle was comfy clean and well maintained. There are many beautiful photo spots, and we stopped to take these in. Many thanks to our guide. A credit to the company.

Traveler with THE beautiful smile (as Andrew would say) 😉 - A raincoat is a must 😄
The day trip to Glencoe, Oban and Luss was amazing. With Andrew we had the best and funniest driver ever! I really loved his jokes and his knowledge about history. We had a blast at this Tour. I liked our group of funny and kind people. We were a mixed group from Australia, Canada, Italy and Switzerland. Allthough I was travelling alone it felt like a family trip. 🥰

A lovely day trip with our Best Friend Jack! - Our best friend Jack was the ultimate tour guide! He wasn’t just witty and hilarious—he was impressively knowledgeable too. I don’t usually go for guided tours, but I’d absolutely join another one with Jack in a heartbeat. Can’t wait for the next adventure!
