Oban Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Excellent tour with interesting, knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed it in spite of the rain.

Emma was a wonderful guide sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge with us and even adding some suggestions for our personal cheese chase that had nothing to do with the tour …. Highly recommend you spend some time with her! Great tour

Great fun even for someone with 3 left feet like me. You are talked through the steps for the different dances and then get a chance to display your skill, or not. Don't worry though, because everyone else is in the same boat. Just go and have a night of fun and laughter at a very modest cost.

Gary, our tour guide was fabulous. Very knowledgeable about historical locations and local history. Nice clean comfortable van with lots of room. Highly recommend.

Very enjoyable and informative Whisky tasting. Mark's approach was thorough with history, tasting technique and different types of whiskies all included in our experience. Highly recommended for experienced and novice tasters!

George R. Was fantastic! He knew all the best places to take us. His knowledge of history was amazing. His special treats along the way were really nice! Thank you! We hope to return soon.

Corrine was an excellent communicator. She picked us up at our hotel in Oban and we had a lovely drive to Ft. William. She was a fantastic driver. We stopped at numerous spots along the way with beautiful views or points of interest. The drive thru Glencoe was particularly awe inspiring. We were dropped at our hotel in Ft. William after a full day with a stop for lunch at a historic pub. I highly recommend Corrine with E2G Tours.

I was worried that the dances would be too hard for my 10 year old (and me!), but I was wrong! They teach you everything and it’s so easy and fun. I would highly recommend attending. We arrived a little early and had dinner first and the food was great too. Try the sweet potato fries and cider on tap.Shout out to the incredible bag pipe player. I have heard at least a dozen bag pipers perform at a Highland Games competition and the piper at The View was outstanding!!!

Charlie has so much knowledge about the area, and “insider” information about more recent events. Just a terrific guide and tour!! He even took us to see Highland cows, which our group loved. This is the best way to see some beautiful scenery and castle ruins from Oban. Don’t hesitate!

Our knowledgeable and personable driver combined with the splendor and history of Glencoe made this a day we will never forget. The views left us in awe. It was a highlight of our trip.

Excellent experience. Gus was very accommodating and listened to us and we learnt a lot. While it was mildly disappointing that the hielan’ coos were away off in the distance the Hebridean sheep and other animals made up for it. The special treat at the lunch of awesome fresh seafood was excellent. Felt overall it was really worth it and could not give it less than a 5 star review. Thank you Gus!

Do not let Mark’s baby face fool you- his knowledge of Scotch is tremendous. We were impressed with his choices- small distilleries- each with a unique history. We enjoyed the Scotch- so much in fact that we are purchasing more of the Scotch for our later stay at Loch Lommond. We recommend him 100 times. So happy to have lucked up on this experience.

I arranged this for my partner's significant birthday as she loves being on the water. Neither of us have sailing experience but that didn't matter. What a fantastic day we enjoyed, Raymond and Laura went above and beyond to give us a day to remember, even providing an after lunch birthday cake. And what a lunch it was, a sharing seafood platter which we were able to eat above deck in the sunshine. The yacht itself, Chinwag, was a pleasure to be aboard, sleek and comfortable. We took full advantage of being able to steer her under both sail and power, absolutely wonderful for two novices. Raymond and Laura were the perfect, easy going, friendly hosts and gave us a day we will always remember.

It's been a couple of weeks since we finished our trip across Scotland and the Islay Island. From the conversations among our small group during the trip and afterwards, all while enjoying newly acquired bottles of whisky, the general consensus is that we would do it all over again tomorrow. WhiskyWheels showed us that they have an incredible ability to line up a wonderful itinerary, find the perfect drivers, and put us in hotels that are comfortable and full of character.Now that we're home, and the flavor of peety whiskys from Islay disappear from our memories, we are making purchases from the other regions of Scotland. The way it's going, there could be another tour request coming to show off the Speyside region. The "challenge" of smoke is at times, exactly what I'm looking for. But when I'm not, the Speyside smoothness makes drinking whisky super comfortable and relaxing.WhiskyWheels has a lot to show off to the world. Of course the whisky, but also the beautiful landscape, incredible history of churches and castles, as well as the amazingly friendly people. I hope WhiskyWheels and their network of drivers succeed in doing just that.

It was wonderful. Our tour guide and driver was just fantastic. I feel that the person who runs the program should be a little more communicative.

Laura and Raymond made this a truly amazing day and created memories that will last a lifetime.Raymond is a very experienced skipper and Laura is a really good cook. The seafood lunch the supplied made us feel like royalty. In addition, they are very nice people and by the end of the sail, we felt like they were friends.I highly recommend using Macintosh Tours when in Scotland.Paul
