Great tour - worth it!

Published on Sep, 2024

Michelle did a great job on our 2 hour tour. She gave us so much historical information as well as the “stories and background” info. She was glad to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend her!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Oban with Michelle. She was not only delightful in sharing stories about her experiences living in Oban but also so well informed about the history and current status of life in Oban. She is so well worth the fee. We came away having such a deeper understanding and appreciation for this lovely town. Thank you so much, Michelle!
