“We had a great time on our day trip from Edinburgh to Oban, Lochs & Inveraray. We were transported in a minivan which is always nice. Our driver/guide (Neil) was wonderful and made the day go smoothly. An added touch was dropping the passengers close to their hotels and stays at the end of a very long day. The scenery and sites were spectacular. The only negative of the trip would be not having enough time to see the town of Oban. We were given one and a half hours there and the majority of this time was spent eating our lunch. Overall, I would recommend this tour.”

“Our group of 8 were booked with Chauffer Cars Scotland for a private full day shore excursion. The tour operator reached out via email approximately an hour before the tour stating that the driver had been in a car accident and they would have to cancel. I understand that accidents happen and I wished the driver our blessings. As advised we had pre-purchased tickets to Stirling Castle. Viator did refund our tour cost but we lost the cost of the castle tickets because we did not have transportation. I would expect a reputable tour company to be able to offer an alternative. I did reach out to the tour company…”
