Thought it would of had more dancers not just one girl dancing Every dance seemed the same We left half way through the evening

tricia_h

the musicians were great and the dance instruction was also good. The venue lacks character and feels so overly touristy.

The event was cancelled after we travelled a lot of miles especially for the event. Viator took our money knowing full well the event was cancelled. I've already emailed to let you know and am still hoping I get this refunded. Obviously you asking me to comment on how good it was shows a lack communication in your system!!! So disappointing we travelled 400 mile for this trip and nothing to show for it!

Wasn’t what I thought it would be. It’s watching tourists learning to dance. It’s somewhat like American square dancing.

We had attended ceilidhs previously, but not in Scotland. We had an idea of what to expect: lively music, skillful dancing and a boisterous audience. All three were present for us, plus a bonus. The band encouraged the audience to get to the dance floor to learn reels and similar dances. Although we didn't participate in this (old bones don't do well at that), it was fun to see everyone enjoying themselves as they danced to the quick beat. The musicians were very good, with an accordionist and a piper/drummer. The lass who danced was a joy to watch. We also ordered dinner. I had a delicious steak and sausage pie, but my wife's mushroom stroganoff was a disappointment. Although the wait staff were sympathetic about this, nothing else was done. In all, a fun night out.

An excellent evening. Even if you don't want to join in the dancing the music is fabulous and the view over Oban Harbour at sunset is amazing. We did join in, were totally rubbish but it was such good fun. We haven't laughed so much in years. A great night out with a typical Scottish vibe.

The dancing was so.much fun, watching or taking part we all enjoyed ourselves. This review needs 100 characters so I am filling up with nonsense.

Great evening. Shame there weren't make chairs. Came with my two young kids who found it quite loud but eventually loved it. It was child friendly but this wasn't written the advert. Luckily I contacted the company. Really enjoyed it. So many people so was difficult to dance.

Really enjoyed the ceildh dancing. The atmosphere was superb. High energy and lots of fun. Sadly we could not see the professional dancers as we were not afforded a reserved table as billed on the booking. We were however given a partial refund which was much appreciated and had a super time dancing or trying to 🤣

Good for a laugh. Didn’t expect the room to be so small though needs a bigger venue, very cramped when everyone get ups to dance got elbowed a few times and it was rather warm. The band was good and the girl that did the 3 or 4 dances was good. Didn’t eat at the view, just went for the dancing wasn’t quiet what we were expecting, for the cost you can’t expect a lot though.
