Rejseplan
For dem, der deltager i Boat Cruise Option, vil vores første stop af dagen være i byen Callander; "Gateway til Highlands." Beliggende ved foden af Trossachs Callander tilbyder sine gæster masser af plads til at opbevare forfriskninger, gaver og udsigt mod Trossachs. **Bemærk venligst, at Castle & Cruise-versionen kører ruten i reserve og vil gøre en alternativ komfortstop på grund af begrænsede åbningstider i Callander**
Passagerer, der deltager i Whisky Distillery Option, begynder rejsen med et besøg på Deanston Distillery i stedet for Callander. Destilleriet ligger i et tidligere bomuldsmølle og ligger på bredden af floden Teith, og producerer en række premium single malt whiskies. Nyd en valgfri guidet tur gennem destilleriet (billetter er ikke inkluderet), hvor du vil lære om den traditionelle whiskyfremstillingsproces og historien bag dette unikke sted. Afslut med en smagsprøve af Deanstons fineste malts, guidet af en ekspert, der vil forklare deres whiskyers særlige smags- og egenskaber. *Bemærk venligst, at den mindste alder på destilleri tur er 8.*
Når vi kommer ind i 'Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park' vores bus vejer gennem bakker, bjerge og Glens. Disse afsidesliggende steder blev engang beboet af Highland Clans, for ikke at nævne Skotlands mest berømte outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor, som nogle betragter den skotske Robin Hood. Kig ud over landskabet og forestil dig, hvordan det var, mens du hører de bemærkelsesværdige blodtørstige historier om forræderi og hævn, som fortalt af din guide.
Turen tager derefter dig gennem Fort William og forbi den spektakulære Ben Nevis, det højeste bjerg på De Britiske Øer. Nevis Range tårne over den viklende vej, som du fortsætter din rejse til Loch Ness.
Vi stopper for et kort besøg i Glencoe, som var stedet for en af Skotlands mest chokerende massakrer. Mens du stirrer på de forfølgende bakker, du bemærker Glen er forfærdeligt tavs. I det 17. århundrede en af de værste handlinger af forræderi fandt sted her. Din guide vil fortælle detaljerne om dette forræderi for dig. Man kan næsten mærke sorgen i bjergene i den grædende dal. Men frem for alt er Glencoe et af Skotlands smukkeste landskaber. Et højdepunkt for enhver tur til de skotske højland!
Castle & Cruise version: Ankomst til den nordlige bred af Loch Ness. Deltag i en valgfri cruise og slottet besøg. Land på Urquhart Castle for at udforske disse storslåede ruiner. Bemærk venligst, at denne version ikke stopper ved Fort Augustus. Boat Cruise og Whisky Distillery versioner: Vi ankommer til Fort Augustus, en charmerende, højland landsby på den sydlige kyst af loch. Hvis du har booket Boat Cruise Option vil du have chancen for at tage en 1-timers cruise på loch med vores venner på Cruise Loch Ness. Dem, der ikke deltager i den valgfrie krydstogt og dem på Whisky Distillery version, vil du have tid til at udforske landsbyen og den smukke Caledonian Canal, der falder gennem hjertet af landsbyen ind i Loch Ness. Gå længere langs kanalen, og hvis der er tid, ind i det omkringliggende landskab for at nyde bjergudsigt. ** Whisky Distillery vil have en kortere stop i Fort Augustus, ca. 45 - 60 minutter.**
Undervejs stopper vi ved Commando Memorial. *Bemærk venligst, at Castle & Cruise-versionen af turen muligvis ikke gør dette stop på grund af tidsbegrænsninger.* I 1942 blev dette sted uddannelsesstedet for de britiske specialstyrker. Hård, uforgivende og betagende smuk. En statue af vores helte har udsigt over Nevis-området. Tag et kamera med – dette er uden tvivl et af vores yndlingsfotostop i hele Skotland. Her, hvis vejret tillader det, kan du også se Ben Nevis. Det højeste bjerg i Storbritannien.
På vej mod syd rejser vi gennem Cairngorm National Park, hvor man kan finde røde ørn, hjorte, røde hjorte, skyhøje buzzards, pine martens, gyldne ørne og osprey. Vores sidste stop af dagen er Pitlochry
På vej mod syd, stopper vi ved byen Pitlochry for at strække benene og nyde den friske luft. Denne maleriske by ligger i hjertet af det fantastiske landskab i Highland Perthshire. Det sidder under Beinn Bhracaigh (Ben Vrackie), det flåede bjerg og ved siden af floden Tummel, i nogle af de mest storslåede landskaber i Skotland. Med en baggrund af omgivende bakker og smukke skove, er det vidunderligt vandrende land.
Når vi genindgår Edinburgh fra nord, vil du blive mødt med udsigt over Skotlands største ingeniørarbejde og en UNESCO-verdensarvsliste, Forth Bridge. Dette ingeniørmirakel fra det 19. århundrede var på et tidspunkt verdens længste kantileverbro. I dag grænser den til det 20. århundrede Forth Road Bridge og det 21. århundrede Queensferry Crossing, der blev åbnet i 2017. Tre spektakulære broer, fra tre forskellige århundreder, spænder over Firth of Forth, der forbinder vores hovedstad og Fife-riget.
Vi afleverer dig i byens centrum, vores ankomsttid er 20:30. Bemærk venligst, at vi i vintersæsonen kan ankomme tidligere end forventet. Vi anbefaler at forlade 2 timer mellem den forventede ankomsttid og enhver videre rejse eller reservationer i tilfælde af forsinkelse, og at vi ikke er i stand til at tilbyde individuelle drop-offs.

Our tour guide, John, is the best! He was funny, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We had a great time!
Quick trip with a friend to see her niece in a play. Experienced ; The Royal Mile Holloroo
Sadly, through no fault of the driver, William, we were left disappointed and somewhat deflated by the tour. There was a major RTA on the way to Loch Ness, and after sitting in stationary traffic for a long time, and with no mobile phone signal or internet, the driver made the decision to turn around and give us another tour, his thoughts were Oban and another picturesque town (which I can’t recall). By the time we were all able to get a phone signal, and when William was able to make contact with his office, he was advised that he needed to return to the set itinerary. By this time it was late morning. As a detour had already been taken, this added another 2 hours onto the day. We were supposed to go on a boat trip on Loch Ness at 3pm, but were not going to make it, so this was revised to 4pm, which was then cancelled due to high winds. The opportunity to see Highland Cows was gone, as the place would have been closed by the time we arrived. When we arrived at Loch Ness, the toilets were closed, along with a lot of the shops. The final stop at Pitlochry was the same, everywhere to buy any souvenirs closed. An early start and drop off at 10pm was an extremely long day, with most of the day was spent on the coach with very little opportunity to see local towns close up. It felt the stops we did were predominantly for toilet breaks and to pick up something to eat 😔.
This tour was very informative and fun. Ross was an excellent guide and driver. Hos stories were interesting and funny. I would reccomend this tour to anybody that wants to get out of the city to see thw countryside and not worry about driving yourself.
Ross our guide was excellent- knew his stuff , funny and obliging - and gave us some quiet time to take in the view which was excellent
This was a great tour. Brendan was funny, knowledgeable and really brought the tour to life! We packed a lot into the day and were able to see Loch Ness, the Scottish highlands and beautiful countryside. Definitely worth going in this tour.
I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding the Highland Highlights and Deanston Whisky Tour that I booked through Viator for 30 August. The total amount I paid was £107.36. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can happen, including a driver becoming ill. However, I am extremely disappointed with the way the cancellation was handled. We arrived at the designated meeting point at 8:00am as instructed, only to be told when we arrived that our driver was sick and that our booked tour could not operate. We had received no notification before travelling to the meeting point. This was particularly disappointing because we had specifically chosen this tour for its advertised itinerary, including the Deanston whisky experience and Loch Ness. These were important reasons why we selected this particular tour. We were then told that the only alternative was to join another tour available that day or leave and arrange a refund. As we had already made plans around this day trip and had travelled to the meeting point, we felt that we had very little choice but to accept the alternative tour. I would like to emphasise that our complaint is not directed towards Mari, our replacement guide. She was great and did her best in a difficult situation. Our concern is with the cancellation of the tour we had booked and the lack of advance notification or a suitable replacement that would provide the experience we had paid for. The alternative tour was not the tour we had booked and did not provide the same itinerary. In particular, we did not receive the Deanston whisky tour and did not get the Loch Ness experience we had expected. The replacement tour also appeared to be very busy, which further affected the overall experience. The disappointment began before the tour even started. We had travelled to the meeting point expecting to enjoy a specific experience, only to discover at 8:00am that it had been cancelled. We then had to make a last-minute decision without having been given reasonable advance notice. I have also noted that The Hairy Coo's terms and conditions state that, for a 1-day tour cancellation, you aim to provide a minimum of 24 hours' notice where possible, and that where a tour is cancelled prior to departure, all monies paid for that tour will be refunded. I appreciate that the driver's illness may have been unavoidable. However, the way the situation was handled left us without the tour we had booked and with no meaningful opportunity to make alternative arrangements before travelling to the meeting point. We did accept the alternative tour, so I am not asking for a full refund. However, considering the significant difference between the tour we booked and the experience we received, I believe a 50% partial refund (£53.68) would be a fair and reasonable resolution. I would therefore ask The Hairy Coo to review this complaint and consider refunding £53.68 to reflect the significant elements of the original tour that were not provided. I hope you will understand our position and resolve this fairly. We were really looking forward to this trip, and unfortunately the last-minute cancellation and replacement tour substantially changed the experience we had paid for.
Great tour! Only downside was the limited time spent at Loch Ness; we had to rush through the castle.
Excellent experience! Our driver, Peter, was fantastic!
Slightly annoyed that I was expected to sit separate from my husband as it was a tour for our anniversary . Surely if you book 2 people and turn up at 7.20 and are almost at the front of the queue you should be able to sit together . However I have no complaints about the driver . Mark ( Australian ) sorted the seating out after the first stop which was very kind of him . The company should have a better booking system . I felt a bit awkward and felt sorry for mark who then had to ask people to move . Mark was vey upbeat friendly and full of knowledge . He made what was to be a long bus trip seem a lot shorter because of his interesting chat and knowledge of all the areas we passed through . He was a lovely driver and very friendly . Loch Ness was lovely . But it is a long day thank goodness mark was so chatty otherwise the trip would have seemed even longer . We had a lovely day mostly because of the boat trip on Loch Ness and mark . Maybe the company could sort the booking system out . The food stops were also not great . Maybe stop at fort William instead of a roadside cafe with a spat and a hotel that was closed for food . So was a mad dash to get something to eat
