Reisroute
Onze reis neemt ons mee langs de bonnie bonnie oevers van Loch Lomond
De 1e stop van de dag is bij Luss. Het dorp is een aangewezen natuurgebied gelegen aan de oevers van Loch Lomond. Er is tijd om naar de rand van het meer te dwalen voor foto's
Het kasteel was een sterke greep van de Clan Campbell en we zullen hun voorouderlijke stoel later bezoeken
Het meer is het langste zoetwatermeer van Schotland op 25 mijl eind tot eind en staat bekend om zijn forelvissen.
De lunchstop is in Oban, Gateway to the Isles. Er zal tijd zijn om te genieten van enkele van de meest verse zeevruchten rond de haven.
Deze mooie kleine witte stad was de eerste geplande stad in Schotland. Het eindproduct is een van de beste voorbeelden van een 18e-eeuwse nieuwe stad in Schotland, en de overgrote meerderheid van de eigendommen in het centrum van Inveraray worden beschermd vanwege de architectonische betekenis van de stad.
Terwijl we in Inveraray zijn, wilt u misschien het sprookjesachtige kasteel bezoeken, de thuisbasis van de hertog van Argyll, hoofd van de Clan Campbell. Houd er rekening mee dat een bezoek aan het interieur van Inveraray Castle niet mogelijk is van oktober tot maart.

While the Highland Experience destinations are breathtaking, what truly stands out are the guides. Our guide, JR, was excellent. He provided a perfect blend of history, humor, and personal insights. He selected delightful music. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company. Excellent service from booking to drop off. We will book again when we return.
Hi there, Thank you for your 5-star review! I’m delighted JR made your Highland Experience so memorable with his perfect mix of history, humour, and personal touches. I’ll be sure to share your high praise with JR! We hope to welcome you back for another outstanding adventure. Kind regards, Cameron Highland Experience Tours
Ask your guides to articulate that tickets for Inverary Castle have to purchased there. Yes, we know you must have had a disclaimer in the pre tour info but it doesn’t take more than a second for the driver to say that before deboarding the bus! Many countries do not charge tickets for some of their landmarks including Washington, D.C. This was our first stop at a landmark in Scotland. Also, the available time in Oban was not explained well. It was rush rush when we finally got there. The seafood fast food place the driver recommended was CASH ONLY. Found out after standing in line for 15 minutes. Again, the driver could have mentioned that! He, in fact eats there.
Hi there, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share these details, as they help us improve our guests’ experience. Regarding Inveraray Castle tickets, we’ll aim to provide clear reminders about admission requirements before arrival. We also take note of your comments about Oban – we’ll ensure future groups receive more comprehensive information about time allocation and payment methods at recommended stops. Your observations about the cash-only establishment are particularly helpful, and we’ll update our guidance to drivers about communicating such important details upfront. We’re sorry these oversights affected your experience. Kind regards, Cameron Highland Experience Tours
We had a wonderful day. Rob was a great guy and took great care with us. This was a smaller group tour with a maximum of 16.
Hi, Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear you had a wonderful day and that Rob took such great care of you. Our smaller group tours are designed to offer a more personal and comfortable experience, so it’s fantastic to know that made a difference for you. We hope to see you again on another adventure in the future! Best wishes, Highland Experience Tours
Today we had a tour booked to Oban, one word; Fantastic! Our guide Hugh was amazing! Very passionate about the things he told us and even stopped somewhere where i could see some cow’s! The tour itself was also very beautiful. We saw some loch’s, little towns and a few castles along the way. Oban itself was fantastic as-well. Would really recommend this tour. Thank you so much Hugh and Highland experience. Greetings from the Netherlands! See you next time!
Hi there, Thank you for your kind review! It's amazing to hear that you had a 5* experience on our Oban, Lochs and Inveraray tour with Hugh as your guide. We agree, the views are breath-taking, and I’m so happy you got to see the famous hairy coos—definitely a highlight! We appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon. I will be sure to pass your kind words onto Hugh who will be delighted to hear that his passion for Scotland added so much to your experience. Kind regards, Terri Highland Experience Tours
What an amazing day...our tour guide Hugh was entertaining sharing his passion for Scotland, very informative, added a couple of extra stops on the way, would definitely recommend
Hi Sandra, Thank you for choosing Highland Experience for your journey to the beautiful west Highlands of Scotland! We sincerely appreciate your kind comments about your guide Hugh and we will be sure to share this feedback with him. We are so glad you had a wonderful day out and that you would recommend us to others. Thank you for leaving us a review and we hope to welcome you again soon! Kind regards, Sofia Highland Experience
I have been on quite a few daytrip bus tours from Edinburgh in the past years, with different tour companies. I have to say this has been by far my favourite - Hugh was an amazing guide, giving us the perfect mix of funny dad jokes and interesting facts about Scotland. He also has a really good playlist (no proclaimers for once, yay!) We even had time for some extra stops and one of those stops was the highlight of the day for me. Oban is always worth a visit and a great place if you want to see something different from the classic (and much busier) Loch Ness route. Would (and probably will during my next visit to Scotland) book this tour again!
Hi there! Thank you for sharing such a fantastic 5* review! It’s great to know that Hugh’s humour, stories, and spot-on playlist made this tour your favourite so far. We're delighted you enjoyed the unique stops, especially Oban—it’s indeed a charming alternative to the more frequented Loch Ness route. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Scotland for another unforgettable adventure! Kind regards, Cameron Highland Experience Tours
We went on this tour with the specific desire to visit Inveraray Castle Paul (the tour driver who told us his life story the whole time of the tour) reached Inveraray Castle at 4pm. Just when the castle was closing for visiting. It was very sad to take this tour and the only wish we had was to visit the only attraction we reached so late.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're genuinely sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations, especially with the disappointment of arriving at Inveraray Castle too late for a full visit. We understand how important it was for you to explore this beautiful landmark. Please know that we’ve taken steps to ensure a better experience in the future, with adjustments to our scheduling and stops. Additionally, we’ve processed a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill, which we hope reflects our commitment to making things right. We truly appreciate your feedback, and we’d love the opportunity to provide a more enjoyable experience in the future. Warm regards, Clare
Very well presented information. Ian, the driver and guide, was passionate about his country and what we were going to see. Enjoyable tour
Hi Rod, Thank you for taking the time to review your tour! We're delighted that Iain made your time a memorable experience through both his passion and expertise of bonnie Scotland. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Scotland and hope to welcome you again soon! Kind regards, Helen Highland Experience
Chloe was a great driver and guide! Even after we waited, a half an hour in Glasgow for a group of 10 that didn’t show up! Trained in drama and a self-described history nerd! She really knew her history!
