Loch Lomond und Stirling Castle Kleingruppentour ab Glasgow
Beschreibung
Die Loch-Lomond-Tour ab Glasgow hat ein bisschen von allem, was Schottland zu bieten hat, von einer gemütlichen Bootsfahrt auf dem schönen Loch Lomond bis zu den Bergen der „Highlands in Miniature“ und dem majestätischen Stirling Castle. Wir verlassen Glasgow und befinden uns bald im Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, einem Gebiet von außergewöhnlicher natürlicher Schönheit, in dem Rob Roy MacGregor als Held und Gesetzloser gefeiert wurde. Erfahren Sie während einer Loch-Kreuzfahrt mehr über die gesetzlosen Wikinger und verfeindeten Clans der Region. Machen Sie im prächtigen Stirling Castle eine Zeitreise in die verschwenderischen Tage der schottischen Renaissance-Könige und -Königinnen.

Reiseverlauf
Wir besuchen das denkmalgeschützte Dorf Luss, wo sich ordentliche Reihen von Cottages bis zu den schönen Ufern des Loch Lomond erstrecken und im Sommer voller Blumenschmuck sind. Luss ist bei Touristen beliebt, vor allem wegen seiner Postkarten-Kirche, die vom keltischen Heiligen MacKessog gegründet wurde. Auf dem Kirchhof liegt ein Vermächtnis der gesetzlosen Wikinger: ihr „Hogback“-Wikingergrab aus dem 11. Jahrhundert, eine in Stein gehauene Skulptur.
Hier haben unsere Passagiere die Möglichkeit, Tickets für eine 1-stündige Bootsfahrt auf dem wunderschönen Loch Lomond zu kaufen. Genießen Sie die malerische Landschaft und erfahren Sie mehr über die Gegend. Wer lieber an Land bleibt, kann den Balloch Country Park erkunden.
Wir folgen dem dramatischen Duke’s Pass und tief hinein in die Trossachs, die „Highlands in Miniature“. Die Meinungen über die Bedeutung hinter den Trossachs gehen auseinander, aber unser Favorit stammt aus dem Gälischen und bedeutet „das borstige Land“. Wir werden in diesem Bereich für ein oder zwei Fotos anhalten, sowie einen kurzen Stopp für unsere Passagiere, um etwas zu Mittag zu essen. Diese Landschaft hat Sir Walter Scott zu seinem Gedicht The Lady of the Lake und seinem Roman Rob Roy inspiriert, und wir glauben, dass auch Sie inspiriert sein werden, egal ob Sie Ihre Kamera oder Ihr Notebook in die Hand nehmen. Halten Sie Ausschau nach einem beliebten Fotomotiv, unseren wolligen Highland-Kühen mit langen Hörnern. Wir nennen sie haarige Gurren!
Passagiere haben die Möglichkeit, Stirling Castle (Tickets nicht inbegriffen, siehe Tourausschlüsse) zu besuchen, die große königliche Residenz der Stuart Kings und von Mary, Queen of Scots, die hier 1543 im Alter von nur neun Monaten zum Monarchen erklärt wurde. Es ist ein imposanter Anblick, der auf seinem Felsen thront, und Sie haben 90 Minuten Zeit, um dieses historische Juwel zu erkunden.

Kieran was our driver/guide. Personable and provided us with a lot of information. Small group tour was much better than a large coach. There was insufficient time at Stirling Castle (c75mins) as there is so much to see; as senior citizens we paid ony £15 but felt that it was not money well spent. Too long at Luss and Aberfoyle. At Balloch we chose the boat trip which was fine; we heard from our fellow travellers that they found the town itself not particularly engaging. The length of the stops need to be reviewed.
The day was absolutely lovely - the driver Maggie was very good. The tour started at the castle and ended at Loch Lomond which is definitely the better order of the trip. Lunch was nice at the town of Callander - definitely get the steak pie or sandwich and one of their delicious pastries! The only reason we are giving it wasn’t perfect was that they were not strict on times. We waited more than 15 min past the time to leave for a group and this same group was late back to the shuttle another 15 min past time so we were very rushed at Loch Lomond and Luss. Losing that 30min out of our limited time was a letdown, and they really should have adjusted due to the stragglers because we got back well over an hour before all aboard.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had a lovely day and that Maggie was a great driver. It’s also wonderful to know that you enjoyed the route, particularly starting at the castle and finishing around Loch Lomond, as well as your lunch stop in Callander. We’re sorry, however, that the delays caused by other members of the group affected your experience. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to lose valuable time at Loch Lomond and Luss, especially when you had limited time to enjoy these beautiful locations. Keeping to the planned schedule is important, as we want every guest to have the opportunity to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. We’ll make sure your comments are shared with our team so we can continue looking at ways to improve how we handle late departures and returns. Thank you again for travelling with us and for your thoughtful review. We’re pleased that, despite the timing issues, you enjoyed so much of the day, and we hope you’ll join us again on another Scotland tour in the future. Discover Scotland Tours
This excursion was excellent. Pick up at pier was easy, small group in a nice relaxing, air conditioned small bus. Allyn was knowledgeable, funny and engaging. Best scenery ever. Gave us enough time at all the stops to shop, eat and explore. Just wonderful and a great experience for the money we paid. Thank you, Al for a wonderful day!

Our Sterling Castle tour was our second tour with Discover Scotland and again, we we not disappointed. Kyle was lovely and very knowledgeable about local history, mythology, and flora/fauna, which is right up my alley. We also enjoyed the small tour bus as it provided a more customized experience and allowed us to get to know our fellow travelers. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your 5 star review and recommendation! We are delighted that you enjoyed Kyle's vast knowledge and the small tour size. We hope to welcome you back for another Discover Scotland Tour
It is hard to pick a tour when you have so many options. I myself have taken 5 while in Scotland. I must say the tour guide makes the day and Gary made mine. I met an amazing group of people but Gary made sure to address us by name and gave us facts that were not only historic but fun. He constantly checked on us and kept us in our toes. A special side stop to see a beautiful view. It says a lot about a person when other company tour guides came over just to say hello while we had free time. I’m so grateful I picked this tour. From the cruise to the special surprise stop. It was the perfect day. Thank you Gary for showing us why Scotland is so amazing.
Your kind words mean so much to us! It’s wonderful to hear Gary made such a personal connection with the group and helped bring Scotland’s stories and scenery to life. We’ll be sure to share your appreciation with him. - Discover Scotland Tours
It was a wonderful experience. The guide was awesome with knowledge. Overall felt like I am travelling with my own car.
Thank you for your 5 star review, we are glad you enjoyed the tour! - Discover Scotland Tours
Alan was a terrific guide. He told us all kinds of information about Scotland and where we were going and pointed out sights along the way. We were in a group of 10 and he did everything he could to make sure that each of us got to do exactly what we wanted. He was especially accommodating to us, because we wanted to spend some time at the Luss Highland games, which just happened to be the day we were taking this tour. He also was able to drive us up to Sterling Castle, so we didn’t have to take a long hike up to it. It was a perfect tour with a fabulous guide!Highly recommend!!
We are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed Alan's knowledge and his passion to accommodate everyone on tour as best he can. We will be sure to pass on your lovely words to him. Thank you for the 5 stars and we hope to help you discover more of Scotland in the future. - Discover Scotland Tours

Great tour and tour guide! We were given enough time to explore each destination. Enjoyed the charming village of Luss and the tour of Stirling Castle. Our guide Stevie was so knowledgeable of Scotland’s history, and he made each guest feel so welcome!
Thank you for your great 5 star review! It is great to see that you enjoyed your visit to both Luss and Stirling Castle. We are also glad to see that you found Stevie welcoming and knowledgeable. We hope to see you again! - Discover Scotland Tours
Time for lunch is tight, just grab some takeout. Be prepared to pay to get into Stirling Castle, there is a free tour but it will take up most of your time there, explore on your own.
Thank you for your 5 star review and feedback, we greatly appreciate it! - Discover Scotland Tours
