Oban, Lochs & Inveraray

Luss and Oban were too touristy and not very interesting for us. We would have preferred to see more of the mountains and dramatic natural landscape. Also, I didn't appreciate that the tour guide also had to drive. The tour guide did a great job, but it would have been better if he could focus on the tour rather than the driving. Overall we were happy that we got to travel around Glasgow a bit, since we only had one day. Thank you!

We had a really great day touring around with John in the smaller, more intimate bus. The itinerary was great. John was very informative and the smaller bus made it so we could ask more questions along the way and share our own comments with the other passengers. Great tour.

The tour was generally ok. I would like to raise one issue: we ran into difficulty at the end of the tour as the road to Glasgow was closed (which I appreciate is not your fault) and we ended up taking a significant detour. This meant that your driver/guide was running over the number of hours he was legally allowed to be driving. As my Mum (who is 76 and not in the best of health) and I were the only passengers from Glasgow we were expected to go with the rest of the party to Edinburgh and make our own way back to Glasgow. I managed to find a way around this (with very little help from our guide, I might add) but I really do think you should have other contingency plans in place for when this happens. I would appreciate your feedback.

It was not worth the money spent. It was extremely overpriced for what it was which in my opinion is a day trip to Oban and even then we didn’t get to spend long there at all. Everything just felt so rushed and the biggest disappointment was that we didn’t get to spend longer at Koch Lomond rather we spent an hour at Inveraray castle which is a waste of an attraction it should have been the other way round were you spend longer at Loch Lomond so that you can take a cruise if you wished to. The tour guide was very boring and unenthusiastic though he was knowledgeable it was just very boring and getting back on the bus whilst the views were beautiful the tour guide put you to sleep. The bus was really small so intimate but at the same time not ideal as you had a little compartment over head to put your jacket and no leg room. Overall disappointing experience and not value for money

Was this a surprise tour for the guide? Daniel seemed unprepared and tired. He messed with his phone while driving! Previous Highland ex tours had great narratives by the guide, lots of stops and left me wanting more. This one was a bore. An appeal to tours is the information, the sites & not having to drive! I chose this tour because of where it was going. I would recommend this tour if it had more stops, more engaging narrative from the guide & a more experienced guide. The bus was HOT & cramped.
