Loch Lomond & 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.

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

Our tour guide Karen was very informative and fun. It was great being in a smaller group. Karen answered every question we had and made sure we all saw what we wanted to see including Highland cows! The castle, loch and towns were amazing.
Amazing tour. Scott our guide made this so entertaining and memorable. He is top tier!!! Each stop had great value. Sterling Castle was definately worth it!! Feeding and petting the Hairy Coos made the entire trip
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We love hearing that each stop on the tour brought great value to your trip. Scott is an incredible guide who loves bringing Scotland to life, and we're so glad his energy made the day. Meeting the Highland cows is always a favourite, so we're thrilled that made the entire trip for you! Haste ye back! - Discover Scotland Tours
Billy was a great tour guide who was funny and answered all of our questions. We had a small tour group that made it intimate and allowed for personalization. We were able to see many different sites from small towns to the lake to Sterling Castle.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with Billy—he’ll be happy to hear your feedback. Its great to see that you appreciated the smaller tour size. We hope to see you again some day. -Discover Scotland Tours
Beautiful trip, not very long, spectacular views and all very clear. The castle disappoints a little inside, as it is very renovated and with access to few parts of it. Still, it's beautiful. Recommended.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the trip, the views, and the experience overall. We appreciate your feedback about the castle as well. We’re happy you still found it beautiful. Thanks again for your recommendation! -Discover Scotland Tours
Scott was incredible! He made our tour special, and he went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. I highly recommend exploring with him.
Thank you for your kind words and 5 star review! We will be sure to pass your great feedback along to Scott. We hope to see you again some day! -Discover Scotland Tours
Beware if you are couple minutes late arriving at the Buchanan bus depot and it leaves without you no refund is given not enough information where the bus pulls in was told somewhere between stance 24-31
Hi James, You are correct, our tours depart on time to allow our passengers to complete the scheduled itinerary. Check in for the tour closes 15 minutes prior to departure, allowing everyone some additional time should they be unexpectedly delayed. If you were 1 - 2 minutes late for the departure time then you were in fact 16 - 17 minutes late for the tour. You booked your tour via Viator, your ticket with them clearly states the check in time and advises you to check the board within Buchanan Bus Station for the exact departure stance. As the stances are assigned to us by the Bus Station we do not have the stance numbers in advance. These instructions along with a What3Words location and google maps link were also sent to you via WhatsApp the evening before your tour. We can see that message was delivered. As you did not arrive for your tour and we received no communication from you, you were marked as a no show. However, 1 hour after departure you requested a refund from Viator stating you were unable to travel due to medical reasons. Given that your review states you were late and missed your tour, it is not clear which of these reasons is true. The inconsistency in the information you have provided has been reported to Viator.
Very good experience top to bottom. Everything was on time and as planned, the mini-van was new and comfortable, the tour is very well-thought so it is comprehensive and very educative but well-paced so you don’t feel in a rush at every stop. Johnny, our guide, was absolutely great. He gave valuable information throughout the entire day. I would totally recommend this tour and Discover Scotland.
Thank you very much sharing your experience with us and the community. We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour, the pace, and Johnny’s guidance. We really appreciate your recommendation! - Discover Scotland Tours
