We had a fantastic day with Finlay. There were 4 of us ranging in age from 4 to 74 and Finlay kept us all entertained. We had amazing weather and although 3 of us were suffering a bit with the lurgie we all thoroughly enjoyed our Tall Tales Tour. Would 100% recommend the tour - money well spent. Thank you.

We echo everything the previous reviewers have said. Finlay is a wonderful storyteller and knows absolutely everything about Mull. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and the day flew by. Do not miss this unique, interesting, and fun filled experience!!!!

Being a tour guide myself in Sydney, I am probably more critical than most. We wanted to see the Island in a day, learn of the history - especially relating to Lachlan Macquarie (5th Governor of Australia), but not go over the parts we had already explored . Our tour was reshaped around our wishes and covered all the relevant... More

We spent a brilliant (if slighty driech!) day with Finlay in the van. Lots of great info and folklore about Mull. He really knew his stuff, particularly in relation to the white tailed sea eagles. We got some fantastic opportunities to observe & photograph them. All round an excellent wildlife (I have a great otter photo!) and all other sorts... More

We just spent a day with Finlay touring Mull and what a joy.... We saw wildlife in abundance, otters, white tailed eagles (one flew right overhead), golden eagles, kestrels, hen harriers and a wee mouse too. Not only did we learn where to look, we learned what to look for, got a history lesson and a big bit of humor... More

Whilst staying in Tobermory we wanted to see otters in the wild and a local recommended Tall Tales of Mull and Findlay. The cost was good value, think it was under £40 for adults, for 8 hour tour of island and included a picnic lunch. Finlay is great, such a character and knows so much about Mull and the wildlife....

Firstly, let me say that we actually did our trip in summer 2010 but Tripadvisor won't let me choose an option that far back. We were on our 2nd trip to Mull, and Finlay's tour was recommended to us both by our self-catering cottage owner, and by the BBC's wildlife presenter and cameraman Gordon Buchanan who we've met on many...

Finlay Christine knows everything there is to know about the island, its history and wildlife. It was a pleasure and a privilege to spend the day with this intelligent and articulate man and such a treat to be driven so skilfully around the island being able to enjoy the scenery. It was really good fun and excellent value for money.... More

We would highly recommend a day out with Finlay. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and not only tailors the day to the clients' interests but ensures the day is a fun and informative experience. He is a great guy with truly 'Tall Tales'. Highly recommended.
