Stirling Castle, Trossachs National og Loch Lomond Day Tour fra Edinburgh
Beskrivelse
En perfekt introduktion til Skotland på denne lille gruppe tur - historie, legende og betagende landskaber alle i ét. Denne rejse tager dig fra slående moderne kunst til gamle slagmarker. Vi begynder med The Kelpies, verdens største heste skulpturer og en hyldest til Skotlands industrielle fortid. Derefter går turen til Loch Lomond, Storbritanniens største sø, hvis skønhed har inspireret digtere og malere i århundreder. Derfra begiver vi os ind i Loch Lomond Trossachs National Park, et land med høje toppe og skinnende vand, før vi træder tilbage i tiden på Stirling Castle, hvor konger mødte deres skæbne, oprør tog rod, og Skotlands historie blev formet. En lille smule af det hele på en uforglemmelig dag.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Efter at have forladt Edinburgh vil du have chancen for at besøge og forundre dig over de fantastiske Kelpies, verdens største hesteskulpturer dedikeret til den hestedrevne arv i det centrale Skotland, designet af Andy Scott.
Vi går vestpå gennem Skotlands centrale bælte mod 'Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond', hvor vi tager os tid ved Balmaha for at beundre udsigten over Ben Lomond. Her vil du have mulighed for at gå på en skovvandring, der vil give dig en spektakulær udsigt over søen. Stående på dens bred vil du forstå, hvorfor Loch Lomond er blevet udødeliggjort i en verdensberømt sang.
Tag chancen for at opdage imponerende Stirling Castle, en af Skotlands vigtigste strukturer både historisk og arkitektonisk. Mange kongelige er blevet kronet på Stirling Castle, herunder Mary Queen of Scots, og det var centralt i William Wallaces kamp i uafhængighedskrigene. Hvis du vælger ikke at betale entré for at se slottet og dets pragt, kan du besøge byen Stirling og opleve de lokale butikker og seværdigheder rundt omkring i byen i stedet.

A very nice trip with commentary from Ali. Lovely scenery and Stirling Castle is well worth the visit.
We enjoyed our tour and our guide Sophie was absolutely outstanding. It was a very nice experience and one that I would highly recommend.
Stirling Castle was definitely worth seeing; the rest, not especially. The tour guide was a former part-time actor and spent a lot of time talking about that (and his other personal experiences). He was an entertaining speaker but better on picturesque language - evidently pre-scripted and largely drawn from tourism websites - than facts. For some reason he told us the Kelpies represent Clydesdale horses and said nothing about their true meaning - making it even harder to understand why a modern outdoor sculpture is part of the tour at all. (Without the legend, which wasn't mentioned, it was nothing but a stop at a large souvenir shop.) Also, to start the tour we had to stand on line outside the tour office in a cold drizzle until almost time to to leave; we were not allowed inside except to pay our additional fee for admission to the castle.
Steve took us on an adventure that started at the Kelpies, continued to a breathtaking walk along the shores of Loch Lommond and went on to the iconic Stirling castle. From beginning to end, Steve infused Scottish history, music, culture and details into our day. He was funny, charismatic and had immense knowledge to share. We even did a sing along to the proclaimers “I’m gonna be (500 miles)” on our journey home. 10/10 recommend going on this tour with Steve!!!
An excellent day. Sophie was an excellent guide and driver. We learned a lot about Scottish history and other fun facts!

Wendy had the best talk of any of several guides we've had in Scotland - clearly enunciated, informative and entertaining. Right amount of time at each site. Extra stops at the Firth bridges and a farm for a hairy coo. Excellent day!

A great tour with a great and knowledgeable tour guide! He gave us so much interesting information about Scotland. I appreciate hearing the stories as we were driving. And the soundtrack of Scottish music playing while driving was awesome; a wonderful variety of familiar and unfamiliar tunes. The stops were well timed - interesting and allowed for bathroom breaks. The walk (little hike) at Loch Lomond allowed for a bit of an outdoor activity; it was beautiful! And Stirling castle was amazing. Three hours there was perfect! It was a great day!
