Great trip. Second day was the highlight, visiting Iona and Staffa. I was also surprised by how lovely Tobermory is. I recommend finding the time to walk around the town, further away from the bay area. The lighthouse offers a lovely view, so do get your fish, chips and a beer to have dinner there if the weather is nice :) James was a fantastic guide and he knew how to keep a balance between providing interesting information or funny annecdotes and letting us enjoy the silence. Also a good driver. The group was small, we were 10 passengers. All nice and respectful folks. I really liked the room I was assigned for my two night stay. It was a lovely B&B, where the owner was also a yoga instructor. Breakfast was amazing and waking up to the birds singing much appreciated. Overall, a great experience. I would book another tour with this company.

Full description

Day 1
On your first day, saunter around Loch Lomond in the pretty village of Luss. Find the perfect spot to drink a coffee and sing the ‘Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond.’ Your driver-guide then takes you through the unforgettable landscapes of Glencoe, one of the most famous natural landmarks in all of Scotland. This beautiful area boasts steep slopes and photogenic peaks. And it's haunted by the tragic tale of the atrocities committed against a Highland clan. Hop on a 10-minute ferry to a mountainous peninsula and travel to the port of Lochaline. Board another ferry and make your way to the east coast of Mull. Admire the abundant wild nature in Aros Park, a beautiful area boasting waterfalls and forest footpaths. In the early evening, arrive in Tobermory with time to wander where you will spend the night.

Day 2
The next morning travel past epic mountains to the south of Mull. Take a ferry to two of the most mysterious and dramatic locations in the region, Iona Abbey and *Fingal’s Cave.
In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to take a small boat for an optional trip to the island of Staffa, where nature enthusiasts can seek out the abundant marine life. Staffa is home to Fingal’s Cave, which is one of the most amazing geological sites, and is known as ‘Nature’s cathedral’.

After satisfying your adventurous spirit, we take you north back to Tobermory. Maybe it’s time to try the seafood.

Day 3
On the third day, travel south to Craignure and catch a ferry back to the mainland. When you arrive in Oban, taste the fantastic local seafood and wander around this Victorian harbor town. Venture to Kilmartin Glen, an archaeologist’s dream. Discover around 800 ancient monuments, including burial chambers, rock carvings, standing stones, castles and more within this area. Enjoy learning about the significance of these monuments from your driver-guide. Make a final stop in Inveraray, a gorgeous little town which boasts an impressive view over Loch Fyne. Return to Glasgow in the evening.

Our guide was Cameron and he led a great tour. We were very blessed with good weather — a cloudless sky in Iona was quite unexpected. The itinerary was ideal and Cameron made some extra stops that added real value. The transportation and group management were just fine and Cameron was attentive to all our needs. A few gripes. Our accommodation in Tobermory was an issue. It's always a bad sign when a tour company puts participants in different value hotels when we all pay the same cost. Our 'twin' room was a small single with an extra bed squeezed in. With a raked ceiling you couldn't stand up to make a cup of tea! Cameron: great informative commentary but you don't need to keep talking for three days. Silence is golden. Let the landscape talk. (The personal family references were excessive.) I'd have really appreciated access to other viewpoints at Glencoe rather than a prolonged lunch at Clachaig Inn. Would I take another tour with this company? Yes, without hesitation. Thanks guys!
