Rejseplan
Loch Ness Photo Opportunity - Loch Ness er et stort, dybt ferskvandsløg i det skotske højland, der er kendt for påståede observationer af det kryptozoologiske Loch Ness Monster, også kendt som "Nessie". Vi vil stoppe for en kort gåtur ned til bredden af Loch Ness, tage nogle billeder af det fantastiske landskab og måske endda fange monsteret ud for en tidlig morgen svømme.
Næste stop er det pragtfulde Urquhart Castle ved kysten af Loch Ness. Beundrer slottets strategiske beliggenhed på et klippefyldt fremmed med et åbent udsyn op og ned Loch Ness, mens du fortsætter med at nyde atmosfæren af en af Skotlands mest berømte søer.
Rejser til Ft Augustus Beliggende på den sydligste spids af Loch Ness på Great Glen Way, er denne historiske og naturskønne landsby et populært turistmål. På den imponerende 60 kilometer lange Caledonian Canal, halvvejs mellem Inverness og Fort William, tilbyder Fort Augustus en spektakulær udsigt ned Loch Ness. Besøgende kan også nyde et besøg på Caledonian Canal Heritage Centre, som beskriver kanalens historie. Eller måske tag en kop kaffe og se og se på bådene, der navigerer om låsen.
Commando Memorial er et kategori A-noteret monument i Lochaber, Skotland, dedikeret til mændene i de originale britiske kommandostyrker, der blev rejst under anden verdenskrig.
Glenfinnan-viadukten er en jernbanevadukt på West Highland Line, der er blevet optaget i filmen af den anden og tredje Harry Potter-bøger, Harry Potter og Secrets of Secrets og Harry Potter og Fangen af Azkaban fandt sted i dette område med Hogwarts Express ringer til Glenfinnan!
Vi besøger Glenfinnan Monument, der er kendt for at være hvor prins Charles Edward Stuart ("Bonnie Prince Charlie") rejste sin standard på bredden af Loch Shiel.
Vi besøger den berømte Neptunetrappe. Den længste trappelås i Storbritannien bestående af otte låse på Caledonian Canal, bygget af Thomas Telford mellem 1803 og 1822.
Vi besøger gamle Inverlochy Castle nu en ruin, men er usædvanlig fordi den er forblev uændret, da den blev bygget i King Alexander III's regeringstid. Slottet er beliggende på søbredden af floden Lochy ved den strategisk vigtige indgang til Great Glen.
Frem til Fort William, beliggende på bredden af Loch Linnhe. Det er kendt som en gateway til Ben Nevis, U.K.s højeste top.
Før du går videre til Glencoe Village, kan du besøge Glencoe Folk Museum, der besidder 1700-tallede stråtæktede hytter med displays på lokalarv og Glencoe-massakren fra 1692. Dyrelivet i området omfatter røde hjorte og gyldne ørne.
Endelig besøger Base of Ben Nevis det højeste bjerg på de britiske øer. Stående på 1.345 meter over havets overflade.

This tour, which normally is for four people, was with just my husband and myself and our guide, Billy. We left from Inverness and traveled along the lochs in the Highlands region of north, central Scotland. We went all the way down to Glencoe, and then back up to Inverness. Billy was able to find unique and special stops for us along the way. He understood that we would be competing with other tour groups, especially the big bus tours, so many of his stops were in places those buses could not go. His style was informal and relaxed, but very informed. He was willing to let us make changes to our schedule based on our desires, but he let us know what was possible due to our requests. We felt like VIPs and truly enjoyed the entire day! We would highly recommend his tour!
Martin was our tour guide. He did a great job and was very alert to our interests. From the very beginning he was weaving some of our personal desires with the tour plan. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a running commentary on relevant history throughout the day
The scenery was gorgeous. Billy was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Would have liked the option to stop at a pub for lunch since it was a long day
Billy was an amazing guide. Our group included someone 89 years old and another not feeling great (and he stopped at 3 pharmacies until one had her prescribed medication). He modified our tour to be a little shorter and less strenuous yet we saw countless fascinating and gorgeous sights. Loved the 7 heads well - creepy and cool! We were all blown away by the Glencoe landscapes - breathtaking. Wonderful guide and special day.
Our Guide Billy MacKenzie was fabulous. He went above and beyond for our tour. He was friendly responsive and gave us so much information on attractions we viewed. We recommend him highly.
This was a magical tour experience! Turned out to be a private tour with Michael and felt like we were on a road trip with a friend. He went above and beyond every step of the way. Would highly recommend and gladly go on other tours with them.
This was a fantastic tour. Michael was our guide and FAR exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this tour group to anyone and would not hesitate to contact them again if I'm ever back.
This to our delight turned out to be a private tour! 3 of us but paid for 4 to lock in this tour since 4 is the minimum. We'll worth it! Plus was smaller van, very comfortable and was perfect to go where bigger buses could not. Billy our guide was a delight and was very accommodating giving extra time at stops and filling us in on the interesting history. We highly recommend this excursion! We had a wonderful time and the scenery was amazing!
Billy provided a private tour for my grandson, my son and myself. The scenery was spectacular especially in Glencoe.
Visited for a 60th Birthday Holiday delayed due to the Pandemic.. A fantastic place to visit with amazing views of the Loch and Ben Nevis. Stayed in Banavie, near the Neptune Staircase Locks. We booked on the Jacobite Steam Train to Mallaig. Plenty of parking spaces near the railway station only £4 for 10 hours. Great Value for a Tourist destination. We will be back as we loved it so much. A great journey up through Glencoe with some fantastic views and photo opportunities.
