Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Loch Shiel Tour ab Glasgow
Beschreibung
Eine atemberaubende Tagestour von Glasgow aus, die uns zu Drehorten aus Filmen wie Skyfall, Highlander und Harry Potter führt. Wir reisen nach Glencoe und auf der „Road to the Isles“, von Fort William nach Glenfinnan. Beobachten Sie den Jacobite Steam Train, wie er das Glenfinnan-Viadukt (Apr.–Okt.) überquert, ein schottisches Wahrzeichen, das für seine klassische viktorianische Baukunst berühmt ist. Es ist auch als die „Harry Potter-Brücke“ bekannt, die den Zaubererjungen nach Hogwarts bringt.

Reiseverlauf
Luss liegt am Ufer von Loch Lomond. Wir werden hier nicht nur für morgendliche Erfrischungen anhalten, sondern auch um einige herrliche Ausblicke auf Loch Lomond zu genießen. Ben Lomond, Schottlands südlichster Munro, (Berge über 3000 Fuß hoch) kann ebenfalls von hier aus betrachtet werden.
Glencoe war Schauplatz einer der berüchtigtsten Perioden der schottischen Geschichte, des Glencoe-Massakers von 1692. Die wunderschöne Landschaft ist ein absolutes Muss für jeden Besucher. Wir halten am Glencoe Visitor Centre, um mehr über die Geschichte des Tals zu erfahren. Im Zentrum befindet sich auch das Torfhaus, in dem Sie sehen können, wie das Leben für die 500-600 Einwohner zählende Gemeinde im Glencoe des 17. Jahrhunderts ausgesehen haben muss. Wir fahren zweimal durch das Tal (morgens und abends) und halten an, um Fotos zu machen und die Landschaft zu genießen, während wir dort sind.
Im Schatten von Ben Nevis liegt die Ferienstadt Fort William. Am Morgen fahren wir durch die Stadt, um uns der romantischen "Straße zu den Inseln" anzuschließen.
Wir haben viel Zeit Glenfinnan zu besuchen, da die Aussicht hier einfach spektakulär ist. Sie werden die 21 Bögen des majestätischen Glenfinnan Viaduct durch die Engen in einer Szene sehen, die als Route zu Harry Potters Hogwarts verewigt wurde (vom 2. April bis zum 2. Oktober streben wir an, das Viadukt rechtzeitig zu erreichen, um den Jakobitendampfzug überqueren zu sehen). Das Glenfinnan Monument liegt am Kopfende des Loch Shiel und wurde 1815 errichtet, um die Jakobiten zu ehren, die für Bonnie Prince Charlie gekämpft haben und gestorben sind. Es wird auch Zeit sein, Eintritt zu zahlen, um das Denkmal zu besuchen, wenn Sie es wünschen. (Bitte beachten Sie: Der Jakobitendampfzug wird zwischen dem 1. und 5. September 2025 nicht fahren.)
Nach der Rückfahrt durch Glencoe & Rannoch Moor, wird unser letzter Halt des Abends im Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park sein, wo Sie eine frühe Erfrischung am Abend genießen können, bevor wir nach Glasgow zurückkehren.

Big owl was our tour guide, he went over and above his tour guide duties where we were able to feel relaxed, entertained and fully informed about our surroundings and the tour in general. We would have no hesitation in recommending big L or any tour put on by this company. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are really glad you enjoyed your tour guide and how passionate he was at providing you with the best experience. We hope to see you again! - Discover Scotland Tours
We had the best time with Dave and his dad jokes! My partner fell in love with him :D We took the daily tour to Glenfinnan Viaduct. We had enough time on all spots, but we still want to go back! The price was great and the experience we received, combined with the small groups that the operator keeps works out perfectly. The views are simply stunning in rain or shine! Our group of 5 had a blast, we highly recomend the experience and the operator.
It is great to see how much you appreciated Dave's Dad jokes, we'll be sure to let him know! Thank you for your kind words about us as a tour operator and we are delighted to see that enjoyed all the stops throughout your tour. We hope to help you discover more of Scotland one day! - Discover Scotland Tours
This was a fantastic day tour. It was informative without ever feeling overwhelming, and the guide shared plenty of interesting facts and local insights throughout the day. Everything was well organized, and the itinerary was timed perfectly, giving enough time at each stop without ever feeling rushed or bored. As a solo traveler, I found it to be a great experience. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you’re traveling on your own and want a fun, well-planned day out.

Great tour with a very small group! Alan was a fantastic guide! He shared information and facts as well as a few stories with us! He enlightened us with good Scottish music! You could say he ‘scotified’ us! Highly recommend this tour and company!
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are delighted that you found Alan to be a fantastic guide and also enjoyed his music! We hope to welcome you back in the future! - Discover Scotland Tours
Long day but absolutely worth it! Excellent way to see so much, not feel rushed, and time to relax as well.
Thank you for your great 5 star review! We are glad you enjoyed the tour! - Discover Scotland Tours
Booked this trip only a few days before and was looking forward to it. Picked this for photography mainly. Allan was very welcoming and gave us an initial brief insight to what to expect on the journey. Sadly it was some light rain to start and rather overcast for most of the day but did pick up on the latter half. But ... Allan (our driver/guide) kept the conversations, information and laughter going. The weather did not spoil the day, it was great, and I intend to book this trip again to get the weather, and other trips.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are delighted that you enjoyed Alan's guiding, including his knowledge, conversations and sense of humour. It is also good to see that the typical Scottish weather did not dampen your day and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! - Discover Scotland Tours
The whole group had an amazing time. Maggie was a wonderful, knowledgeable, funny guide. There were some traffic issues that caused us to be delayed and rerouted and she handled it like a champ. The van was comfortable and the journey went quickly.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are delighted you enjoyed Maggie's knowledge and sense of humour. It's great to see that you also found the bus comfortable to ride in. We hope to welcome you back in the future! - Discover Scotland Tours
I was an excellent to visit the highlands. The driver, Allen was very knowledgable , friendly, and personable. The bus clean and well maintained. My whole family had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend it again.
Thank you very much for your 5 star review and recommendation! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of the bus as well as Alan's knowledgeable and friendly guiding. We hope to see you again in the future! - Discover Scotland tours
Great scenery but the guide was very hard to understand, especially since she didn't want to use the boom mic. Could have also been more courteous.
Thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed the beautiful Highland scenery. We are sorry to hear that you had difficulties hearing your Tour Leader. The mic attached to the vehicle is too tall for her so she instead uses a headset mic. However, this is plugged into the same sound system and should provide exactly the same experience. Had your Tour Leader been aware of the issue I'm sure she would have worked to rectify it at the time.
The whole experience was worth every single penny spent. We covered so much in so little time. If you want to visit Highlands and have no car, this is the only best way to do so. Our tour guide, the Big Al (Allen) was fabulous. He recommended us local food and whiskey in Glasgow and while on tour, he made sure that we had a good time. He was a great storyteller with good sense of humour. He gave us timely breaks at delicious food spots. 10/10 recommended.
Thank you for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience and that Alan helped make the tour so enjoyable with his stories, recommendations, and great sense of humour. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words. We hope to welcome you back to Scotland again soon! - Discover Scotland Tours
