Privat rundvisning i Loch Ness, Glencoe og Highlands fra Edinburgh
Beskrivelse
Tag med os på en virkelig magisk rejse gennem hjertet af Skotland med vores Loch Ness, Glencoe og Highlands-tur fra Edinburgh, på en dag fuld af ærefrygtindgydende naturlige vidundere, rig historie og folklore. Oplev den betagende skønhed ved Loch Ness, da dets brogede vand afspejler den omgivende natur. Forundre os, mens vi kører gennem de dramatiske landskaber i Glencoe, hvor tårnhøje bjerge og hurtigt strømmende brusende vandfald skaber en malerisk kulisse. Fordyb dig i højlandets fængslende historie, kultur og fauna, når vi besøger og kører forbi mange ikoniske steder, fra UNESCO-arvstedet Forth Road Bridge, til Stirling Castle, fra charmerende små byer som Pitlochry til Rannochs øde landskab. Hede. Vi håber, at dette bliver din mest mindeværdige oplevelse af Skotland, når det er bedst.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Forth Road Bridge er et berømt UNESCOs verdensarvssted, der forbinder de historiske bosættelser North og South Queensferry. Den ældste bro går tilbage til 1890 og er et ikonisk symbol på Skotlands modige ingeniørkunst fra det 19. århundrede.
Pitlochry er en dejlig skotsk Perthshire Town, hvilket gør den til et ideelt stop for forfriskninger og badeværelsesfaciliteter.
Dalwhinnie Distillery, berømt for sin single malt, er det højeste destilleri i Skotland på over 1000 fod over havets overflade.
Kommandomonumentet er en stor trecifret bronzestatue til minde om tjenesten og ofringen, der blev givet af tusindvis af allierede tropper under Anden Verdenskrig, med Ben Nevis truende i baggrunden.
Når du ankommer til Fort Augustus lige efter middag, vil det give dig tid til at udforske byen, herunder den berømte 'Neptuns trappe', som er en række sluser, der sænker eller hæver både fra en højde til en anden. Fort Augustus har mange hyggelige små cafeer til frokost. Loch Ness er kendt verden over for sin utrolige skønhed, og selvfølgelig det legendariske Loch Ness Monster. Der er et valgfrit krydstogt på søen med en sejlads kl. 13.00. (Krydstogtsprisen starter fra £19,00 per person, med familiebilletter tilgængelige. Ikke inkluderet i rejseprisen.)
Ben Nevis, der hæver sig over alle andre bjerge i Storbritannien, er det højeste og overskygger Fort William. Vi tager dig til et udsigtspunkt, hvor du vil være i stand til at tage i landskabet og tage de fængslende billeder.
Når tiden tillader det, stopper vi ved Glencoe Visitors Centre, som indeholder et væld af oplysninger om denne berømte dals geologi, historie og dyreliv. Centerets højdepunkt er en rekonstruktion af et traditionelt 1700-tals Turf and Creel-hus fra Glencoe Valley, som du kan gå ind i for at opleve, hvordan indbyggerne i dalen levede for 300 år siden.
The Three Sisters of Glencoe - det mest fotograferede sted i Skotland - er tre bjergtoppe dannet for 420 millioner år siden af en supervulkan, og dalen nedenfor udskåret af gletsjere gennem millioner af år. Der er en skjult glen bag den, som blev brugt af MacDonald-klanen til at skjule kvæg stjålet fra deres naboer.
Rannoch-heden omtales ofte som det mest øde sted i Storbritannien, fordi det er den største mosevidde på de britiske øer. Det blev også brugt som ramme for optagelserne af scener i to Harry Potter-film.
Et spektakulært udsigtspunkt med udsigt over 'alt skotsk', forrevne bjerge, søer og fyrreskove
Når vi afbryder rejsen hjem, vil vi gøre et kort stop for at håndfodre Highland Hairy 'Coos' ved Callander Woolen Mill.
Doune Castle er et vigtigt skotsk historisk slot, som også var et optagelsessted for populære tv- og biografbilleder, såsom Outlander, Game of Thrones og Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Et af de vigtigste og største slotte i skotsk historie, Stirling Castle ligger på toppen af en bakke af vulkansk sten over byen Stirling.
Kelpies er de største hestestatuer i verden, og blev ikke kun bestilt som en hyldest til hestene, der blev brugt i de skotske kulminer, men også som en repræsentation af de mytiske Kelpies fra skotsk fefolklore.

This tour was absolutely on my top things we did on our Scotland and Ireland trip! Shak was an amazing tour guide and our group highly recommends him. He made sure we saw everything and made the trip so much fun from start to finish. From the start he said it would be a proper Scotland tour and that it definitely was!
A traditional Scottish tour with Shaq as your guide? Sounds like a dream day out. Thanks for the five stars.
It was such a fun and relaxing day filled with so much to see. Our tour guide , Shak, was the best! From being our group photographer, driver, and our DJ, he made the day fun and memorable for our group! Highly recommend Shak!
Shaq has many skills. Being a DJ is new to us. It's great to hear you had a wonderful Loch Ness tour with us, enjoy whats left or of your vacation.
We had an absolutely incredible day on our private tour of Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the Scottish Highlands from Edinburgh. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the scenery was simply breathtaking. Our guide (Shak) was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Scotland’s history and culture, sharing fascinating stories that made each stop even more meaningful. Glencoe was spectacular, the Highlands were stunning at every turn, and seeing Loch Ness in person was unforgettable. One of the best parts of the day was having the flexibility of a private tour. We never felt rushed and were able to stop for photos and enjoy the beautiful landscapes at our own pace. If you’re visiting Edinburgh and want to experience the beauty of the Highlands in comfort, this tour is worth every penny. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Scottish adventure!
What a cracking review. We really appreciate all the feedback and effort you have put in to write such a detailed experience for others to read.
Because it was a private tour, our guide, Simon, would be receptive to reasonable requests for adjustments to the itinerary. In our case, we really had none that I can recall since Simon's itinerary suited us well. Simon shared with us his plans for accomplishing the events of the Viator description. First we agreed with him that spending three hours on a highway each way to get to Loch Ness (in the trip description) was a poor use of time. Rather, we headed toward Loch Lomond, via Glasgow where Simon lived so that we could also get a driving tour of it which included seeing some fascinating murals. Next we were able to take some scenic roads to Loch Lomond and onward toward the other locations in the trip description with all of us having lunch at an eatery at one of the estates/castles. This was particularly enjoyable since the weather that day was superb making eating outside superb as well. It was a 12-hour day as indicated, but totally worth it.
Glad you had a great day with Simon, Martin! Glad you had great weather as well. Thank you so much for the lovely review
Darryl was a great guide and made this tour personal and highly memorable. We were traveling with our 3 kids aged 4-11 and he was very flexible with the schedule to address their needs for more frequent stops. He was incredibly helpful cheering up our daughter who was feeling a little carsick on the way back. We lucked out on the weather - with clear skies the Highlands are absolutely stunning. Based on this trip, we very much want to return to Scotland some day and spend more of the time in the Highlands.
Thank you so much, Jason! Glad you had a great day with Darryl and that you'd like to return! Hope to see you again soon. Take care!
Are you traveling to Scotland with your family? Do you have small children in tow? Despite the snacks, toilet breaks, whining and complaining, do YOU still want an amazing experience!?! Gerry at E2G is your man! He is absolutely lovely tour guide. He is funny, patient, knowledgeable. We were able to completely alter our itinerary to our taste; picking, dropping, and switching destinations. Gerry also showed us a couple of off-the-tour sites, based on our individual interests. Gerry gave us a call the day before our tour to discuss any MUST-SEE’s and tailored our itinerary. He’s an absolute professional! If you want a private tour for just your private group, pickup/drop off at your location, a clean car smooth ride, and an absolutely fantastic tour guide, it’s Gerry at E2G
Many thanks Darlene for your fantastic review of our Loch Ness tour, Gerry will be so grateful of your high praise.
David gave us a phenomenal experience up into the Highlands and through the beauty of Glencoe. He was very informative, friendly and professional. We enjoyed our day thoroughly and would highly recommend him!
Our Edinburgh Loch Ness tour is extremely popular, its a lot do with our guides like Dave but its also is due to wonderful reviews like yours. Thanks Shannon
Colin was incredibly kind and entertaining. He was inviting and really made the experience enjoyable for all of us. Everyone on our trip thoroughly appreciated his knowledge and stories. The trip does entail spending a lot of time in the car, and this was easier for some than others. This particular trip opened up the opportunity to see so much of Scotland that we otherwise would not have seen. We all had a great time!
Thank you so much Allison for the lovely review, Colin will be pleased. Appreciate it is a long day and we're glad you all had a great time nonetheless!
We had a wonderful day with our tour guide, Ayvin. He was knowledgeable, flexible with our schedule and family and took us to see all of the amazing sights of the highlands. We got to see the furry coos on two different stops and the Monty python castle which were highlights for us.
Thank you Michele! Glad you had a great day with Ayvin. Thanks for the lovely review!
Scotland is an amazing destination and Ross was just simply great throughout our tour. Brilliant experience.
Thanks Navneet for your compliments of our Loch Ness tour and your guide, Ross, he will be grateful you mentioning him by name.
