Itinerario
Haremos escala en Luss, ubicado en las costas del lago Lomond, como parada final antes de regresar al barco.
Haremos una breve parada para estirar las piernas y capturar algunas fotos de este lugar icónico e histórico: la masa de agua dulce interior más grande de Gran Bretaña por superficie y, sin duda, una de las más pintorescas. El aparcamiento dispone de aseo gratuito si es necesario.
Una parada de descanso popular de las tierras altas rodeada de vistas panorámicas a la montaña y aire fresco del país. Explore la tienda de regalos bien surtida con productos y recuerdos locales, o simplemente disfrute del ambiente tranquilo.
Un paseo plano de 10-15 minutos te lleva a las impresionantes ruinas del castillo de Kilchurn, en el dramático telón de fondo del lago Awe. ¡Ojo con ovejas y carneros en el camino! Para aquellos que no quieran unirse al paseo, todavía puede disfrutar de vistas desde lejos, visitar la cabaña de regalos cercana con arte local, o relajarse en los bancos de picnic cerca del aparcamiento.
Aquí tienes la opción de unirte a un recorrido a pie por el interior del castillo (coste adicional), donde descubrirás artefactos fascinantes, e historias del Clan Campbell, una de las familias más poderosas de Escocia. Incluso si elige no entrar, los terrenos y el exterior del castillo ofrecen una experiencia perfecta que no debe perderse. Atención : El castillo está cerrado los martes y miércoles, pero el terreno sigue siendo accesible a través de un pintoresco 800 -a metros a pie del punto de entrega- ideal para hacer fotos y disfrutar del hermoso entorno.
Tómese el tiempo para explorar la encantadora ciudad de Inveraray, junto al lago, una parada perfecta para almorzar y dar un paseo. Pídale a su guía sus mejores recomendaciones para el almuerzo: ya sea que esté buscando un pub acogedor, mariscos frescos o un bocado rápido, ¡lo guiarán en la dirección correcta!
Disfrute de las impresionantes vistas de la cañada panorámica de las tierras altas, que es una parada memorable a lo largo de la histórica carretera militar antigua. Esta parada depende de las condiciones meteorológicas.
Descubra la histórica Iglesia Vieja de Luss, hogar de una tumba medieval Hogback y las primeras tumbas medievales de losa cruzada. Disfrute de las vistas de los barcos de ocio en el lago y avistar la vida silvestre local en este entorno tranquilo. Luss es un pueblo pintoresco con casas de campo muy bien mantenidas y tiendas con encanto, muchos todavía vivían en la actualidad.

It is the perfect way to visit the Highlands and many of the important sights. It was simply amazing and our driver and tour guide were superior! I’ve been in the travel industry as an agency owner for 35 years and I recognize those special teams when I see them! Great day exploring this beautiful area.
We had a wonderful shore excursion from Greenock with Sandra and Michael. The tour was very well planned, with just the right amount of time at each stop so we never felt rushed or like we were waiting around. Since we were visiting from a cruise ship, they were very mindful of our schedule and reassured us throughout the day that we'd be back to the port with plenty of time. Their knowledge of the area's history and the stories they shared at each stop made the experience even more enjoyable. Sandra and Michael were friendly, organized, and clearly knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Greenock by cruise ship or just visiting the area.
It is well worth seeing the Scottish landscape. The excursion went very well, the guide gave us a lot of information, and we visited beautiful places. It is a shame that the excursion did not include at least a panoramic tour of the city of Glasgow.
Wasn’t a very interesting tour as I would have expected for Scotland. Didn’t see anything mind blowing or special. We had to skip the castle ruins due to time constraints which is what we really wanted to see. Tour guide was lovely, but hard to understand at times.
This was a wonderful excursion with Viola. We were able to see so much in a short period of time. The beautiful Loch Lomand, the cute Green Welly shop which is a great place for souvenirs, the dramatic ruins of Kilchurn Castle, Inveraray, and the gorgeous views from Rest and be Thankful. Luss is a wonderful little town to walk through! Be aware that the beautiful Inveraray Castle is not open every day of the week. The scenery on this trip is lovely!
Our tour guide was not up to Viator’s usual standard. It made the entire experience feel like an overpriced van ride of the countryside. The microphone on the (16 passenger) van wasn’t working so if you were sitting toward the back of the van you could not hear her. (The microphone should have been checked before everyone on the tour was picked up) Additionally her accent was very strong which made it difficult to understand her. There was very little commentary about anything and when we arrived at our stops there was almost no information about the stop. Her directions about where to go, what to do and where to meet were extremely unclear. At one stop she told everyone to be back at 1:20. But 2 people asked if they could come back later and she said ok they could have til “1:30ish”—but never told the rest of us so we all waited on the van for 10 minutes (or longer as most people got back a bit before 1:20!). It felt as though she just made no real effort to see that we enjoyed the tour. The stops were nice (although we didn’t need 25 min at the Green Welly stop after being on the van for 55 min) and we enjoyed the castles and scenery. But the tour guide did nothing to enhance the experience.
We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the castles, scenery and the stops included on the tour. We're sorry to hear that you felt the guiding experience didn't meet your expectations. As this tour departs from Greenock, it is standard for our guide to be Scottish, and naturally this means they will have a Scottish accent. We appreciate that accents can sometimes be more difficult to understand, particularly for visitors from overseas. Our guides are always happy to answer questions and provide recommendations throughout the day, and we'll remind our team to ensure the microphone is checked before departure so that commentary can be heard clearly by all passengers. Thank you again for your comments. We value all feedback as it helps us continue to improve our tours.
The walk to the castle is on level ground. You are given enough time to get there and back to the bus without hurrying. Our tour guide (can't remember her name) was so good. She knew so much about the area and the history behind it. She even knew about the connection with the movie Brigadoon.
Good tour, a little more time at the castle ruins would be great. A little less time at the house tour stop
This tour was very disappointing. The bus was a long walk from our ship in the pouring rain. There was no signage to show where the bus was. And there were no people at all to show us where to go. At least eight people were late to the bus due to this. When we arrived at what we thought might be the bus, the driver could not answer whether this was a Viator tour. We saw a Busy Bus sign at the top of the windshield halfway through the tour, but no one could see it when they needed to due to the rain. The guide was nowhere in sight. When he arrived late, he had no list of who were supposed to be on the tour, and he did not have names nor did he look at anyone's tickets. As a result, the tour guide was ready to leave several people behind until their friends and relatives told him they were expecting them. All of these people were late too, to not knowing where the bus was. This was unacceptable! Also, this was a very long tour with eight hours, being on the bus with very limited stops. The guide was knowledgeable and gave us much more information during the ride than anyone could possibly digest, but it was dampened because of the poor viewing due to the rain and this limited stops. In conclusion, this tour was not worth it!!!
Greenock shore excursion was interesting. Viola was very knowledgeable and did talk with the entire tour. She knew a lot about the history and folklore. Our driver was Michael. At times his driving was a bit scary. There were a number of people who got motion sickness as a result. Hence the four stars instead of five. We have been on other Coach tours during our trip, but this one was a bit rough.
