Over deze activiteit

Uw kleine groepstour vertrekt vroeg westwaarts vanuit het centrum van Edinburgh om het drukke verkeer te mijden. U reist via Glasgow om een aantal medepassagiers op te halen en reist dan naar de eerste halte bij het goed onderhouden dorpje Luss nabij Loch Lomond, het grootste zoetwatermeer van Groot-Brittannië. Neem de tijd om heerlijk te ontspannen en te genieten van het uitzicht voordat u verdergaat naar het hart van de Hooglanden.
U passeert de betoverend mooie ruïnes van Kilchum Castle aan de oevers van Loch Awe en hoort verhalen over de Campbell Clan die zich het land een keer toe-eigende als bolwerk. Loch Awe volgt ook de Pass of Brander, waar Robert The Bruce (de heroïsche Schotse koning) in vervlogen tijden menig heftige veldslag leverde.
Vroeg in de middag bereikt u de Victoriaanse kustplaats Oban. Daar kunt u van de meest verse geneugten van de zee proeven in de stad die de Schotse hoofdstad van de vis wordt genoemd! Laat uw lunch zakken met een wandeling naar McCaig's Tower, het prachtige granieten bouwsel dat sinds 1895 de skyline van de stad domineert. Laat u niet ontmoedigen door de lange klim naar de top! U zult worden beloond met spectaculaire uitzichten over de zee tot aan Isle of Mull.
Op de terugweg terug naar Edinburgh wordt er gestopt in Inverarary, een schilderachtig dorp dat ligt aan de oevers van Loch Fyne, dat gekenmerkt wordt door de mooie witte huizen. U kunt op uw gemak een aantal van de zelfgemaakte zoetigheden van de stad proberen voordat u terugkeert naar Edinburgh, waarbij u rijdt langs het Schotse platteland, doordrenkt met mythologie en legendes.

Overall the trip was ok, only thing is that I just wished there was a little more time in Oban. An 1 1/2 is just not enough to do the Oban distillery and see other attractions in the town.

Our driver Norman needed to talk loader even after being told 3 times by different people during our trip. Also he needed more personality. Could do with making some 10minute stops for photos as it is a long trip. Other then that the trip was nice.

A nice day, despite the rain. The stops were nice, but more time needs to be spent in Oban. Having a little over an hour to have lunch and take in the sights was definitely not doable. Traffic was a little heavy going through the preserve but that should be taken into account by the operator. We were able to get up to McCaigs Tower and a quick drink in the Oban Distillery before we had to rush to catch the bus.

The trip included a lot of interesting stops, especially in Inveraray. The highlight of the trip was definitely Oban. There were a lot of great seafood options available and the views from McCaig's Tower were amazing!

A day being driven down the interstate to Oban, then an hour for lunch and back on the bus and down the interstate. There were a few short stops for scenery views, but not many and not great views. You also stop at a castle for about 20 minutes which was probably the best part, but not good enough to justify this trip.

The length of the trip was just right. Our guide was accomodating and knowledgable. He greeted us warmly as we joined the group. It was a small group tour and it felt cozy. We weren't rushed but there were times when the driver guide was late to show up. At Oban, we had a short lunch break. It would be appreciated if he had shown us where the seafood place that visitors would usually go. I managed to discover that place after i had my lunch. Thank god i found it. Thats the reason why i jpined the trip! To satisfy my craving for some seafood!! The weather then was rainy and mostly wet. We went to the the castle where Downtown Abbey was filmed and the group split up. As i was a solo traveller, at times, i felt as though i had been left behind. I panicked a little. I had to walk quite a distance to the pick up point which the driver had shown us earlier, past a very quiet path, with no other visitors and cars in sight. The driver just left us on our own, which was ok if it wasnt raining. Otherwise, the drive to the west highlands was extremely breath-taking. There were many tree tunnels, just like the ones illustrated in the fairy tales. We did see the hairy coos, shaun the sheep and probably many other inspired cartoon characters thats familliar to some of us. Recoomended to go if thats the only time you have in the highlands.
