The team at Argyll Adventures are very professional, the trip we went on was very well organised with safety and fun equally measured. Our hour trek along a lovely path with views out to Loch Fyne was terrific for both adults and kids, the ponies are very well trained calm and friendly. The team encouraged and guided us through out. A really memorable and fun experience.

I have driven past Inverary Castle many times and looked way up at the monument high up above the castle, my eldest son has completed the walk/hike on several occasions, and knowing I like walking we decided to drive the 90 miles to Inverary for the day. Anyone who enjoys a walk and a challenge will not be dissapointed as it is beautiful especially from the top. I have had both knees replaced and have a dodgy hip,so if I can do it, most can as well. it is well worth the effort looking accross Loch Fyne and the mountains breathtaking!! Roy A

Inveraray Castle is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll and their young family. Ancestral home of Clan Campbell. Iconic visitor attraction on the West coast of Scotland.

I had an amazing time at Inveraray Castle. All staff were lovely, the gardens were magnificent, the castle itself is a fantastic historical gem and the scones in the tea room are to die for. Notably, my guide Bridget was extremely informative and her bubbly personality absolutely made our day. Thank you Bridget.

Really warm welcome as soon as we entered the jail - unusual thing to notice at this kind of attraction! - and a fun chat about how welcome dogs are. We didn't have a dog but it seemed a good feature to us, rather than making them stay in a car! The audio guide was extremely good: informative and provided a purposeful and fun way to take in all the information, which was added to nicely by the costumed guides strategically positioned. Lots to see - but not too long - interactive in places too: the photo booth is a fun idea, sitting in the court, trying out the hammocks etc were all engaging. Decent shop at the end. Fully recommended.

It has taken just over 100 years for this garden along the glen to reach it's current state of maturity. It is absolutely stunning, especially at the moment with the azaleas and rhododendrons in flower. Well worth a visit, and if you are an English National Trust member you will get in free.
