Castillo de Stirling, Kelpies, Rueda de Falkirk, Vacas
Descripción
Nuestra primera atracción del día es una visita a un redil de 'Highland Coos'. Deténgase a admirar a estas bestias gentiles, capturando fotos de su apariencia distintiva y naturaleza amigable. Con su cámara llena de tomas memorables, nuestra siguiente parada es el Castillo de Stirling. Pasea por sus grandes salones, camina por antiguas murallas y conoce figuras legendarias como William Wallace y Robert the Bruce. Después de explorar el rico pasado de Stirling, nos dirigiremos a Falkirk, donde nos esperan maravillas de la ingeniería moderna. En primer lugar, visitará la Falkirk Wheel, una impresionante hazaña de ingeniería que eleva barcos entre dos sistemas de canales con una rotación suave. Su próxima parada es The Kelpies, dos gigantescas esculturas con cabeza de caballo. Estas llamativas estructuras se basan en el folclore escocés y el patrimonio minero de la región. Podrás caminar entre estas colosales esculturas, sintiéndote pequeño a su sombra, y apreciar el arte y la ingeniería detrás de ellas.
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Los Kelpies son 2 esculturas equinas icónicas del escultor de Glasgow Andy Scott. Con una altura de 30 metros, estas estatuas equinas son las más altas del mundo, inspiradas en el patrimonio cultural de los Kelpies escoceses (hadas del agua), así como en los caballos de tiro de Clydesdale utilizados en las minas de carbón locales.
La Falkirk Wheel es el único elevador de barcos giratorio del mundo que conecta el Canal Forth & Clyde con el Canal Union. Gracias a una fusión única de arte e ingeniería, la Falkirk Wheel eleva los barcos 35 metros en el aire en solo unos minutos, utilizando solo la misma cantidad de potencia que se necesitaría para hervir ocho hervidores. Nota : no tendremos tiempo de hacer el paseo en barco de ruedas en este tour.
Con más de 1000 años de historia, el castillo de Stirling es uno de los sitios históricos más importantes de Escocia, y su pasado cuenta con algunos de los personajes más emblemáticos de Escocia, como William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, María Reina de Escocia y Bonnie Prince Charlie. Este increíble castillo fue una vez la residencia preferida de los reyes y reinas Stewart. Después de una extensa restauración, el castillo ofrece una experiencia única con personajes en traje de época, como guardaespaldas, funcionarios de la corte y sirvientes, que le dirán información sobre algunas de las principales habitaciones que visitará, ¡trayendo vivo el siglo XVI! También hay visitas gratuitas regulares por los guías del castillo expertos que salen regularmente de la puerta.
¡Vea nuestras mundialmente famosas Vacas Highland! Los Pollok Fold (manada) fueron derribados de las tierras altas de Escocia para pastar el suelo dentro del Pollok Country Park hace casi 200 años. El redil cuenta con 30 hembras reproductoras de pedigrí y 3 toros adultos, que paren principalmente de marzo a junio. Pasando todo el año al aire libre debido a su doble capa de pelo, siempre se pueden ver en los campos de Pollok Park.

We had a great day with Simon. We had local food and spent the entire day doing many things. One of our best days!
Phil is a fantastic guide who did an amazing job showing us around! We got the feed the highland cows and take pictures. Then we headed up to Stirling castle where he gave us plenty of time to explore. Next we got to see the Falkirk wheel, where we got to see it in action. Lastly we made our way to the Kelpie statues, which were marvelous. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see these amazing sights.
Thank you so much Jessica! Appreciate the 5 stars and glad that Phil gave you a great day
Paul, our tour guide, was amazing. He was knowledgeable about each and every place we stopped, he answered all our questions, he came prepared with snacks for the cows and snacks for us too.
Thank you so much for the 10/10 Alicia! Glad you had a great day with Paul
This was a day that will be a core memory for all six of us. Paul was incredibly professional and made the experience even more epic than we expected. From feeding the cows to seeing Stirling Castle and the Kelpies, we were honestly blown away. Paul shared great context along the way and kept the group engaged throughout the tour. He was attentive to everyone’s needs, made sure we were all enjoying ourselves, and maintained a smooth, comfortable pace. Most importantly, Paul ensured we arrived back at our cruise port on time. We would highly recommend this tour and especially Paul to anyone visiting the area.
Thank you very much for your lovely detailed review and 5 stars Alicia! Glad you had a great day with Paul
We had a private tour for six with Paul and he helped make our day in Glasgow so enjoyable! Petting and feeding the highland cows, visiting Sterling Castle and a quick stop at the Kelpies made for an amazing day in Scotland! Paul was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. He even helped arrange a driver for us in a future port of call. We will certainly call on him again next time we visit! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the 5 stars and recommendation, Wendy! Glad you had a great day with Paul
Had an awesome time on this tour seeing the Kelpies, the Falkirk Wheel, and other sites around Glasgow. The Hiland Coos were definitely a highlight for my daughter, who declared she wanted one to take home. Our guide, Simon, was great and made sure we had enough time at each stop. I would highly recommend him and this tour!
Glad you had a great excursion! The coos are definitely a highlight for most :D they take a lot of brushing ;)
We had fantastic experience with E2G tours at Glasgow. We took a trip from Glasgow covering The Falkirk wheel, Kelpies, Callender. Mr Paul was our Guide and driver. Very welcoming in nature and made our journey comfortable and Enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your 5 stars, I'm glad you had a great day with Paul :)
Enjoyed a private tour with Darryl visiting the Falkirk wheel, helix, Stirling castle and the highland cows. We started the tour one hour early and were able to take our time and enjoy the sites. Darryl supplied water and Scottish treats. He also surprised the group with extra beverages and supplied food for the coos! LOL! At times it was hard to hear him. Enjoyed has authentic accent. Would recommend this private tour!
Thank you very much for your lovely review, Nancy! Glad you enjoyed the accent :D
Darryl was an excellent guide! He is both knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed his tour and his wit so much that we immediately booked him again for another tour for the next day. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much Candice! Glad you had a great day
