So much fun!!! ❤️
This was the most fun!! A lot of people got up on the dance floor and really enjoyed this event. If you want to experience traditional Scottish music and dance, this is the perfect opportunity!

An amazing tour experience with Jimmy
I booked this tour for myself and my older parents, who are prone to motion sickness, and we were fortunate to be paired with Jimmy as our guide. I am extremely happy that we were!Not only did he encourage us to take our time at each stop on the itinerary rather than rushing, but he also made it a point to drive smoothly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. He even thoughtfully provided water and snacks, which went a long way in helping my parents out.Jimmy's care, attentiveness, and patience made all the difference for our family. Highly recommended!

A great day with Ayvin! He was very knowledgeable, flexible on our itinerary and a pleasure to spend the day with.
We spent a full day touring and had a great experience. Ayvin brought us to several “hidden gem” locations that weren’t on the itinerary where we we the only people there and they were all amazing. He also showed us the sites that make Scotland such a special place. It was a great day!

Great insight to the history and highlights of Oban
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

Dance the night away
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.

Full-Day Private Historical Tour in Glencoe from ObanMorissa_P, Jul 2026
Best thing to do when in Oban!!
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!

Really good little 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!

Informative and Fun Scotch tasting
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.

One Day Private Sailing from Oban Marina with LunchBob_P, May 2026
Birthday treat
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.

Hoping to be a Repeat Customer
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...
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.

Amazing day sailing around the Island off Oban
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
