Excursión a Oban, Highland Lochs, Glens, Castillos y Glencoe desde Glasgow





Descripción
En nuestro tour de un día a Oban desde Glasgow, experimentará un poco de todo lo que la espectacular belleza natural de Escocia tiene para ofrecer. Estas son las escarpadas Tierras Altas Occidentales, donde majestuosas montañas caen hacia gloriosos lagos. Los castillos y cañadas esconden historias trágicas de hace siglos, y los bulliciosos puertos sirven comida sabrosa y atracciones galardonadas. Su amable conductor-guía le dará vida a las leyendas escocesas mientras compartimos nuestro país, desde las bonitas orillas del lago Lomond hasta la inquietante Glencoe.
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Verás el lago Lomond a través de tu ventana panorámica mientras serpenteamos por sus costas occidentales. Si miras a la derecha verás Ben Lomond, el Munro más meridional de Escocia (una montaña por encima de los 3000 pies) y el primero del recorrido. También tendremos una breve parada de refresco cerca del lago.
Hacemos una pausa para tomar fotos en "Descansa y sé agradecido", un emblemático mirador escocés llamado así gracias a las palabras grabadas en piedra por los cansados soldados que construyeron la carretera militar original en 1753.
Inveraray es una de las ciudades más fotografiadas de Escocia. Establecido en 1745 por el III duque de Argyll, jefe del poderoso clan Campbell. Inveraray es un ejemplo clásico de una ciudad planificada del siglo XVIII con su distintiva arquitectura georgiana encalada. Los pasajeros pueden explorar la ciudad y sus tiendas o visitar una de las atracciones enumeradas a continuación. (Tenga en cuenta que esta parada puede reducirse a 60 minutos en invierno para minimizar el impacto de la puesta de sol temprana más adelante en el recorrido).
Los pasajeros tienen la opción de explorar el castillo de Inveraray, donde viven actualmente el duque de Argyll y su familia (las entradas se pueden comprar el mismo día). Respire el aire puro de las Tierras Altas mientras pasea por el parque, el bosque y los jardines, que resplandecen con los arcoíris de las azaleas y los rododendros que florecen en Argyll en verano. (Tenga en cuenta que el castillo solo abre de abril a octubre, de jueves a lunes. Está cerrado todos los martes y miércoles.
En lugar de visitar el castillo, los pasajeros también pueden optar por visitar una de las principales atracciones para visitantes de Escocia, la Cárcel de Inveraray del siglo XIX, un museo viviente donde puede experimentar cómo era estar encarcelado detrás de sus rejas (los boletos se pueden comprar en el día) .
Nos detenemos para tomar fotografías del imponente castillo de Kilchurn, orgulloso de estar a la cabeza de Loch Awe.
Originalmente un pequeño pueblo de pescadores, Oban es ahora la "puerta de entrada a las islas" y es conocida como la "capital del marisco" de Escocia. Hoy en día, el puerto es el principal punto de partida del ferry para la Isla de Mull y las Hébridas Interiores y Exteriores. Los amantes de los mariscos viajan desde millas a la redonda para saborear sus capturas diarias frescas en los restaurantes de la ciudad y también pueden saborear esto, u optar por platos escoceses clásicos o sabores más internacionales.
Castle Stalker es una de las fortalezas más fotografiadas de Escocia y se posa en su propio islote de marea en Loch Laich. Su conductor-guía le indicará el punto de vista para capturar fotografías.
Las oscuras montañas de Glencoe caerán sobre ti mientras te entregan a una cañada de asombrosa belleza natural. Es fácil volver a imaginar uno de los tiempos más vergonzosos de Escocia, la masacre de Glencoe en 1692, cuando los soldados del gobierno liderados por Campbell masacraron al clan MacDonald de noche. Pararemos aquí para disfrutar de las vistas y tener tiempo para capturar algunas fotografías.
Nuestra última parada de la noche será en el Parque Nacional Loch Lomond and Trossachs, donde podrá disfrutar de un refrigerio temprano antes de nuestro regreso a Glasgow.

We visited everything that was planned in the program and even more! Inverary was a gem; I preferred not to go to the castle and walk around this little town to enjoy the local products. Alan was very kind, attentive to our comfort and safety! He clearly highlighted the breaks and meeting points, also recommending excellent places to shop and eat. During the trip, he gave us a lot of interesting and curious information. 10/10!
Thank you for your 5 star review. We are so happy you enjoyed your tour and the places you visited. We are also glad that Alan was very kind and provided clear explanations. We will be sure to pass along your kind words. - Discover Scotland Tours

The weather was beautiful and our tour guide Alan was very nice. However from the very start of the trip Alan kept informing everyone that we were behind schedule even though no one was late to the tour. Throughout the whole tour there was consistent reminders that we weren’t going to have a much time at destinations as allocated and that even though they’re considered ‘extra stops’ we would not have time to go to said stops. It grew very frustrating to hear this considering the tour left on time. I can respect that customers were not listening to times at certain stops but I think the biggest issue was just how frequently time was being spoken about and having this feeling of missing out etc whereas if times had been needed to be cut and perhaps not been expressed quite as much it wouldn’t have felt disappointing. All this being said Alan was friendly and informative but just a little too stressed at times that didn’t feel warranted.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your experience on tour was impacted. Customers arriving back from stops later than scheduled can have a major impact on the tour however we understand that this should be dealt with in a way that does not overshadow the enjoyment of the others on board. We will speak to your Tour Leader to ensure this is addressed for future tours. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope that it didn't impact your overall enjoyment and that you enjoyed the Highland scenery.
We had a lovely time, with a nice small group. A perfectly balanced tour between sights, photo ops and culinary brakes (seafood shack in Oban has been my personal favorite) All of that, topped off by Billy our tourguide who was very welcoming lad, with a lot of knowledge, side notes, stories and (morbid;) fun facts all around the trip, it’s been a great pleasure!
