Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
votre journée commence avec votre excursion à Greenock en direction du pays de «Braveheart», pour visiter Stirlingshire et le château de Stirling, sans doute l’une des plus importantes forteresses d’Écosse. Au-dessous du château, la vieille ville de Stirling est toujours protégée par ses murs d'origine, construits au XVIe siècle pour protéger Marie, reine d'Écosse, de Henri VIII. Nous nous arrêterons ici pour prendre le temps de visiter le château, de tout savoir sur les exploits de Robert the Bruce et de la célèbre reine écossaise, et de prendre un rafraîchissement dans le charmant café du château.
Au cœur des Trossachs, votre excursion à terre fera un arrêt à Kilmahog pour peut-être voir du bétail des hautes terres de près. Nous nous rendrons ensuite au village d'Aberfoyle, situé juste en dessous de la ligne de faille des Highlands, pour prendre un repas et prendre le temps de l'explorer.
Depuis Aberfoyle, nous nous dirigerons vers notre dernier arrêt au village de conservation de Luss, situé sur «Bonnie, Bonnie Bank» du Loch Lomond, l’un des plus grands et des plus impressionnants lochs d’Ecosse. Ici, nous avons le temps de flâner dans le magnifique village et d'observer les nombreuses îles et les vues spectaculaires sur les montagnes environnantes.

Our driver Jack was also the tour guide who gave us more information that we knew which was amazing his driving was skillful we had such a good time and many many laughs I recommend this for anybody that wants to see the Highlands
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you had such a great time exploring the Highlands on your shore excursion. Jack's storytelling, knowledge, and skill behind the wheel make him a fantastic guide, and we'll be sure to pass on your kind words. We're especially pleased to hear there were plenty of laughs along the way. Thank you for recommending Timberbush! 😊
David was exceptional with his tour. To drive and give such an amazing experience with his knowledge and personal stories made the trip more than worth it. I can’t imagine a better guide to experience Scotland!
Our day is the western Scottish Highlands was amazing! Tom, our driver, and Jerry, our guide, were absolutely amazing!! I wish we would’ve had more time for Loch Lomond and a better vantage point but that was not the tour guides fault, it was due to other guests. Overall a great experience. Stirling castle was stunning. Side note: there was a mix up with our tickets to Stirling Castle that were purchased through a link provided by the tour company. Jerry stepped in for us and helped us to resolve. We really appreciated that he did that.
Greta tour. Loved our guide Jerry, he was very informative. We decided to go inside Stirling Castle and thought it was worth it. Buy tickets online for a discount. We did miss seeing dunce castle up close. Would have loved to go inside vs catch a glance on the road. Also enjoyed seeing the highland cows. Jerry even gave us some fruit and veggies to feed them. Loch Lomond was disappointing. We lost time because people didnt come back to the bus on time and there was road construction. I would have preferred to either go to a different loch or a different part other than the marina. Wasn’t much to see there. Still a solid tour and would recommend.
Great tour,our tour guide wee Davey was fantastic. Plenty of time at each destination. Buy your ticket to Stirling Castle beforehand Timbervush will email you that once you have booked. Highly recommend if you are on a cruises hip.
Great experience at Stirling Castle. Such beautiful scenery. Not a great deal of time in each other place. No time to see Glasgow. Wee Davey a great driver and tour guide/ vault of information.
We were very satisfied with the tour company's service. I booked online from the start, and the process was very simple with clear instructions. On the day of the trip, it was easy to find a driver at the pier, and we rode in an air-conditioned bus, which was very comfortable. The guide provided detailed and interesting commentary on the scenery and history along the way. This trip was very meaningful, and I highly recommend Viator's service to all cruise passengers.
The guide, Jack, was great. We did not go inside the castle, but the grounds were beautiful. Our lunch stop in Callander was nice. Loch Lomond was a disappointment, as we stopped in a very commercialized area (basically a shopping mall). The scenery was not what I expected to see in the Highlands. just hills in the distance. We did enjoy the stop to see the Highland cows. There may be better ways to see the area.
Wee David was the g Best tour guide and driver ever! Thank you for unforgettable memories!
Jack is an amazing, entertaining, and very knowledgeable tour guide. He seemed to be able to answer any question and did an excellent job. Stirling Castle is not to be missed although you’re really on your on there. It was a long day of mostly driving, but it was nice to see the countryside and some of the Highlands. However, Loch Lomond was wasted time, in our opinion. It’s a family recreation area (beach, rental boats, concessions, etc) with no time to recreate and was nothing like the serene ‘loch’ we had envisioned. We would have preferred more time in the small town where we were able to purchase a really nice sit-down lunch. If I had it to do over again, I’d book a tour of Stirling Castle and a farm visit to see working dogs, sheep, etc.
