Full description
On this tour, you will experience the shimmering lochs, scenic mountain views, and romantic and historic castles of the western highlands. From Glasgow cross the Firth of Clyde, passing Dumbarton's famous and imposing rock fortress. The first stop is the pretty conservation village of Luss, on the 'Bonny, Bonny Banks' of Loch Lomond. Here you can walk along the shore or stay to admire the village. Pass several dramatic castles and lochs as the tour climb into the Highlands. Make a stop for lunch at the fishing town of Oban. Journey on a southern route that takes you past the spectacular Kilchurn Castle, majestically situated on Loch Awe. Our final stop is Inveraray, the historic seat of the Duke of Argyll, where you can choose to either visit Inveraray Castle (April-October only) or explore the town’s Georgian houses and wide streets.

Sara – United Kingdom31 October 2023 – Verified booking
Our day trip was lovely. Our tour guide, Shug, was knowledgeable about the individual areas and overall history of Scotland. He was incredibly friendly and always ready to chat with us and the other people on the tour. The group we were with was small, which meant that a little chatting about the areas we visited was easy to do. Shug had a lot of recommendations for even the quick stops and that helped us to maximize our experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour and particular guide to anyone interested in seeing the highlands of Scotland.

We all enjoyed our day. Our guide Stuart was great...very informative about Scottish history and the places and stops we made. The only complaint would be is that there wasn't enough time in Oban to have lunch and visit the main st for some shopping. All of the restaurants were busy which meant it took extra time to find a place and have our lunch. An extra 30 min would have been perfect. Perhaps taking out one of the shorter photo op stops would be helpful.

Very satisfying. We missed information on the areas we passed through. We missed a good lunch stop in a nice village, f.e. Pitlochry where we stopped for 20 min. instead of the too touristic Loch Ness Lake. Driving was excellent and the driver polite. Thank you.
