A propos de cette activités

Au départ d'un point central d'Édimbourg, votre excursion en petit groupe partira tôt pour éviter les embouteillages sur la route de l'ouest. En voyage via Glasgow pour prendre en charge quelques autres passagers, vous vous rendrez à Loss, votre premier arrêt, qui est un village de conservation situé près du Loch Lomond, le plus grand loch de Grande-Bretagne. Prenez le temps de vous détendre et de profiter du paysage avant que votre visite se poursuive dans le cœur des Highlands.
Passez par les ruines du château de Kilchum, d'une envoûtante beauté, situé sur les rives du Loch Awe, et découvrez l'histoire du Clan Campbell qui a jadis fait de cette terre sa forteresse. Le Loch Awe suit également le Pass of Brander, un lieu où Robert de Brus (l'héroïque roi d'Écosse) se livrait autrefois à de nombreuses batailles acharnées.
À votre arrivée en début d'après-midi à Oban, une ville côtière victorienne, vous aurez l'occasion de goûter les fruits de mer les plus frais de la ville, connue comme étant la capitale écossaise des fruits de mer ! Débutez une promenade digestive jusqu'à la Tour de McCaig, une magnifique folie en granite qui domine l'horizon de la ville depuis 1895. Ne vous découragez pas par la longue montée jusqu'au sommet ! Vous serez récompensé(e) par les vues spectaculaires sur la mer et sur l'île de Mull.
Sur le chemin de retour à Édimbourg, vous ferez un arrêt à Inverarary, un charmant village en bordure du Loch Fyne, caractérisé par ses jolies maisons blanchies à la chaux. Passez du temps libre et goûtez aux confiseries locales fabriquées artisanalement avant de regagner Édimbourg, en traversant la campagne écossaise imprégnée de mythes et de légendes.

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.
