Our guide was a great driver and knew lots of perfect photo spots as well as lots of trivia and a lovely playlist along the journey. We particularly enjoyed getting to stop at Oban for lunch and visiting some famous film spots! We enjoyed every photo stop and despite the cold and wind, would do this tour again in a heartbeat.
