Excursión de un día al Castillo de Stirling, Parque Nacional Trossachs y lago Lomond desde Edimburgo
Descripción
Una introducción perfecta a Escocia en este tour para grupos pequeños: historia, leyenda y paisajes impresionantes todo en uno. Este viaje te lleva del arte moderno sorprendente a los campos de batalla antiguos. Comenzaremos con The Kelpies, las esculturas de caballos más grandes del mundo y un homenaje al pasado industrial de Escocia. Luego, se dirige al lago Lomond, el lago más grande de Gran Bretaña, cuya belleza ha inspirado a poetas y pintores durante siglos. A partir de ahí, nos aventuraremos en el Parque Nacional The Loch Lomond Trossachs, una tierra de picos imponentes y aguas brillantes, antes de retroceder en el tiempo en el Castillo de Stirling, donde los reyes encontraron su destino, las rebeliones echaron raíces y la historia de Escocia fue moldeada. Un poco de todo, todo en un día inolvidable.

Itinerario
Después de partir de Edimburgo, tendrá la oportunidad de visitar y maravillarse con los impresionantes Kelpies, las esculturas equinas más grandes del mundo dedicadas a la herencia de caballos de Escocia central, diseñadas por Andy Scott.
Nos dirigimos hacia el oeste a través del cinturón central de Escocia hacia 'Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond', donde nos tomamos un tiempo en Balmaha para admirar las vistas de Ben Lomond. Aquí, tendrás la oportunidad de dar un paseo por el bosque que te brindará unas vistas espectaculares del lago. De pie en su orilla comprenderá por qué Loch Lomond ha sido inmortalizado en una canción de fama mundial.
Aproveche la oportunidad de descubrir el impresionante Castillo de Stirling, una de las estructuras más importantes de Escocia, tanto histórica como arquitectónicamente. Muchos miembros de la realeza han sido coronados en el Castillo de Stirling, incluida María Reina de Escocia, y fue fundamental para la lucha de William Wallace en las Guerras de Independencia. Si decide no pagar la entrada para ver el Castillo y su esplendor, puede visitar la ciudad de Stirling y experimentar las tiendas locales y los lugares de interés de la ciudad.

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!

Torva was a great guide for my kelpies, loch lomand and Stirling tour. He was friendly and told stories on the bus with humour and enthusiasm! The Scottish music played during the tour was a lovely touch! The locations on the tour were brilliant- a great way to tick off some sights in a day. I’d use Haggis Adventures again!

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!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We will pass on your fantastic feedback to Wendi, it sounds like you had a great day. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind Regards, EJ - Sales and Reservations
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!
