Tours & Guided Experiences

Discover Oban, Lorn & the Isles

Oban has it's own tourist guides and walking tours, so why not let them take you on a journey through Oban’s history.

Learn about the entrepreneurial businessmen who developed the town from its humble stone age cave dwelling origins. Follow in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, Boswell and Johnson, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and other prominent Victorians.

Walk along the Esplanade and enjoy tales of Celtic monks, ancient Celtic giants and Irish myths and legends. Take the steep but rewarding walk up to McCaig's Tower to enjoy the stunning views out over Oban Bay.
