Great tour - worth it! - Michelle did a great job on our 2 hour tour. She gave us so much historical information as well as the “stories and background” info. She was glad to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend her!

A wonderful tour guide and look at Oban - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Oban with Michelle. She was not only delightful in sharing stories about her experiences living in Oban but also so well informed about the history and current status of life in Oban. She is so well worth the fee. We came away having such a deeper understanding and appreciation for this lovely town. Thank you so much, Michelle!

Scottish Texan Knows Her Roots! - What a surprise to hear a Texas drawl coming from a lady wearing a kilt! Ah, but she had direct family ties to Scotland and truly the knowledge of a local. Our walking guide was outstanding! She showed us interesting historical sites, beautiful scenery and she knew answers to all our questions! I'm embarrassed to have forgotten her name, but she an excellent guide and we had a fabulous walk! Meeting us at the dock was a bonus.

Fun with education - Michelle was extraordinarily well informed, accessible, enthusiastic without being a cheerleader, insightful and unguarded. Perfect application of journalist’s curiosity and fearless pursuit of understanding, along with a host’s solicitousness. You won’t miss a thing, and you’ll enjoy her personality. Jim
