Private Tour from Oban – Highlands, Glencoe, Lochs & Castles
Michael_M, Sep 2026
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!

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!

4-day Islay Platinum Whisky Tour – Whisky Included! With free pickup!
davidmK818SH, May 2026
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 tour guide and driver was just fantastic. I feel that the person who runs the program should be a little more communicative.

So much fun walking back off the road and up the hill to get a good view of the train as it went by. Very scenic too. So many people from all over the world there. Everyone so respectful, no craziness. Rare these days. Glencoe and Highlands absolutely breath taking.

Would highly recommend. The choice of distilleries were fantastic, with the recommendation of GlenAllachie being a real hidden gem. Euan and Damon were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. I had a memorable/brilliant few days. So much so, I'm looking to book the Islay tour for next year with friends.

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!
