Scotland's standouts.
The 6 most-booked oban tours in Scotland. What each day actually includes, who runs it, and what you can expect to pay.
A 90-minute Oban walking tour at 10:30am covering WWII, Dunollie Castle, Saint Columba Cathedral, the distillery, and ceilidhs.
“Ruby was an informative and personable guide. It was a great way to get a quick overview of the history and things to see in Oban.”
Oban historical tour with castles, churches, Glen Lonan Road wildlife, then an al fresco seafood tasting in about 3 hours.

A private 2-hour walking tour of Oban with cathedrals, McCaig’s Tower, the war memorial, and local food tips for up to 6.
“Michelle was a fun, informative and friendly guide. Our family of five really enjoyed the walking tour & would recommend it for anyone that wants to learn a bit about Oban and local life.”
