Castillo privado de Stirling, Kelpies, Falkirk Wheel & Highland 'Coos'
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 spent the day with Karen and had a fabulous time. She was friendly and knowledgeable and we saw the beautiful Kelpies, and the Falkirk wheel, Sterling Castle and of course the Highland cows. I would highly recommend the tour and Karen!
Thank you so much Laurie! Glad you had a great day with Karen. Appreciate the 5 stars and recommendation!
Simon was terrific, excellent, outstanding...could keep going with numerous adjectives for him, he was that good! We (group of 5) took the half day private tour which included seeing the Highland Cows, Stirling Castle, Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel. Simon was very informative at each of the stops and giving plenty of time for our group to sufficiently explore. Simon provided a taste of the Orange Soda, commonly referred to as Scotland's "other national drink" as well as Tunnock's Milk Chocolate Mallows. Both of which were excellent.
Thank you so much for the 5 stars and lovely review, Kim! Glad you had a great day with Simon and enjoyed the treats. Irn Bru is quite a unique taste so I'm glad you liked it!
We had an amazing time on our tour. Our guide/driver Ryan Riley made the tour so enjoyable. Ryan is a true ambassador for Scotland!
Thank you Curtis! Such lovely feedback for Ryan, he'll be very pleased :)
Karen was great. Really enjoyed the trip.
We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with Karen. She is a much loved guide.
A little glimpse into the attractions around Glasgow. Well worth the trip and good for those who cannot dedicate a longer excursion. Our tour guide, Simon, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Despite not being able to access the area closest to the Kelpies (through no fault of his own), he was able to roll with it and offer us a little tour around Glasgow. We’re had a great day and would highly recommend and would likely use again if we were to go on another tour in Scotland.
Thank you so much Audra, glad you had a great day with Simon and that you got to see some of Glasgow! Shame about the Kelpies :(
Excellent tour!! Gerry greeted us at the cruise terminal, he was very knowledgeable about the area and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. He took us to the sights that we wanted to see and then added some extra stops that he thought we would enjoy. We could not have asked for a better experience!! Highly recommend Gerry and this tour
Our Stirling Castle and Kelpies tour is a great shore excursion, having Gerry as your guide is a great start, many thanks Patricia for your 5 ⭐️ review
Such a great tour of Glasgow area! Shaq was a fabulous tour guide. He picked us up at the cruise pier & kept track of time to get us back in plenty of time. We really enjoyed his company & he was extremely knowledgeable of the entire area. We saw castles, ruins, highland cows, kelties, lots of Lochs, learned some history of Scotland all while laughing, joking & enjoying the ride. It’s a private tour so Shaq went everywhere we wanted to go, gave us plenty of time but we were able to stay ahead of the big cruise ship bus tours. We all really enjoyed this tour & would highly recommend it. If you are on a cruise, stopping in Greenock, book this tour!
What a cracking day with Shaq on your Stirling Castle, Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel Tour. Many thanks for the 5-star rating. Thank you.
This tour was amazing and Shaq, our guide, was fabulous!!! We got to see so many great sights, learned so much about Scotland and it's culture, AND even had time to look in several cute shops. Shaq knew all the BEST spots and budgeted our time perfectly! The vehicle was clean, well stocked with great snacks, and very comfortable! This tour is WELL WORTH your time and money!!!! Can't wait to come back to do it again!!
It's always too great for us to hear when our guides go that extra mile for the customers. We really appreciate your warm words for not only Shaq but the tour itself. Many thanks!
Lovely day in Scotland. Corinne had great communication and took excellent care of us. We enjoyed the day.
Many thanks for your five-star review. Corinne will be really grateful for mentioning her.
We came via cruise ship and had an awesome day with Alan! We visited Stirling Castle, saw some Highland coos, took a ride on the Falkirk wheel and saw the Kelpies. Such a fun and memorable tour.
What a wonderful review, Alan will be so grateful for your compliments
