Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Embarquez pour une croisière en bateau. À bord du navire, vous parcourez la partie la plus large et la plus profonde du loch et bénéficiez d'une belle vue sur le château d'Urquhart.
Un site antique de tombes, de cercles de pierres et de ruines. Cela a peut-être aussi inspiré le célèbre «portail temporel» de la série télévisée Outlander.
Culloden* : lieu du dernier soulèvement jacobite. C’est un paysage étrange, plat et tragique qui peut mettre l’histoire de l’Écosse en perspective. Le centre d’exposition interactif donne vraiment vie à tout cela. En moins d’une heure, environ 1 500 hommes périssent dans cette bataille. Explorez le champ de bataille et découvrez comment cette tragédie s'est produite. *La bataille elle-même a duré 45 minutes, alors arrêtez-vous pour y réfléchir (45 minutes, suffisamment de temps pour la visite du champ de bataille qui est gratuite mais pas pour l'exposition payante - il y a aussi un café et des toilettes disponibles gratuitement)

It was a last-minute decision to take the tour, rather than rent a vehicle, and I’m certainly glad I did. Darryl was our guide, and he was clearly a local who loved his job. He knew lots of little details that he tailored to his audience. He knew what to say when and how much. He knew where to stop and for how long. We had a diverse group, in terms of ages and background, but that didn’t faze him. He was driving along narrow roads with black ice always a possibility, but he kept it light and worry-free for us for 12 hours, which is quite a feat. Well done, sir… When we stopped for lunch and the restaurant said it would take a half-hour to serve our group — and two of his flock disappeared — our guide remained poised and polite… No worries… A great ambassador… Thanks very much…
Great adventure. Many interesting stops with a star guide Doug! Interesting facts throughout the ride and fun and interesting places! Really recommend.
It was a lovely trip, Alan (or Allan?) our tour guide was a gem, entertaining us during the ride with little anecdotes and interesting (fun)facts and took really good care of us ♥ (And it seemed he really cared not just doing his job). He stopped at interesting spots (quite a lot of them like Carr-Bridge, Caledonian Battlefield, some impressive viaduct, Balnuaran of Clava, Craigellachie Bridge and more, even to pat Dougal and Hamish (2 highland cows - what sweeties). The boat ride on Loch Ness was also very nice especially because we were really lucky with the weather. Nessi though wasn't spotted :-). Unfortunately there isn't really enough time to explore more on your own but if you want that, you have to rent a car and do it on your own. All in all a very nice day out! Only minor "complain": Alan (or Allan - sorry that I can`t remember), please expand your playlist :-). I really do love the idea behind it, but hearing 500 miles 5 times is too much. It`s still in my head :-). Thanks for a great day!
What a fantastic opportunity to see so much of the amazing Scottish landscape and learn about the incredible history in a single day trip. We were awestruck by the scenic beauty from the pristine pastures, beautiful rivers to the heather covered highlands. Our stop at Loch Ness included a comfortable boat ride out to the deepest part of the lake as well as a close up view of the ancient Urquhart Castle. For history buffs like myself I especially enjoyed seeing the Culloden battlefield and the stones of Cairn. Our guide Alan was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend booking but be prepared for a full eleven hour day.
Beautiful countryside, several stops and the Loch Ness boat ride was quite nice. Highly recommended.
This exceeded my expectations! The guide/driver was awesome and shared so much knowledge. I would definitely recommend it. I was worried about not stopping enough but we always had plenty of bathroom breaks and time to stretch our legs.
This was a fabulous tour! Our guide, Alan, was the best! I booked this as a way to get to Loch Ness, but it was so much more. The drive through the Highlands was beautiful, and we stopped often for pictures, which I love! I'd highly recommend this company, and if you're lucky, you'll get Alan as your guide!
It’s a full day but totally worth it! A splash of everything . . . Nessie & Outlander all wrapped into one! Allan managed our day beautifully and even found time for one extra stop at the viaduct!
Our guide was very knowledgeable. The smaller group setting was perfect and not as overwhelming as some larger tour groups. I would highly recommend.
Incredible trip and highly recommend the entire tour. Great sights, plenty of stops, photo opportunities, laughs and toilet breaks. We had Darryl as our tour guide. Daz was engaging, super friendly, funny and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to make sure our day was trouble free and as enjoyable as possible. The boat trip up and down the Loch Ness was so worth it. Visiting the Clava Cairns and one of the standing stones which inspired the Outlander time travel stone was magical and meeting some Highland cows was also a highlight. Will be back with family members in the coming years and hoping to join in again! Yes, it is worth it!
