Tour di Oban, Highland Lochs, Glens, Castelli e Glencoe da Glasgow
Descrizione
Durante il nostro tour di un giorno a Oban da Glasgow, sperimenterai un po 'di tutto ciò che la spettacolare bellezza naturale della Scozia ha da offrire. Queste sono le aspre Highlands occidentali dove maestose montagne precipitano verso gloriosi laghi. Castelli e valli nascondono storie tragiche di secoli fa, e porti animati servono cibo gustoso e attrazioni pluripremiate. La tua amichevole guida autista darà vita alle leggende scozzesi mentre condividiamo il nostro paese, dalle belle rive del Loch Lomond all'infestante Glencoe.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Vedrai Loch Lomond attraverso la tua finestra panoramica mentre percorriamo le sue rive occidentali. Se guardi a destra vedrai Ben Lomond, il Munro più meridionale della Scozia (una montagna sopra i 3000 piedi) e il tuo primo del tour. Avremo anche una breve sosta di ristoro vicino al lago.
Ci fermiamo per le foto al "Rest and Be Thankful", un iconico punto di vista scozzese così chiamato grazie alle parole scolpite nella pietra da soldati stanchi che costruirono la strada militare originale nel 1753.
Inveraray è una delle città più fotografate della Scozia. Fondata nel 1745 dal III duca di Argyll, capo del potente clan Campbell. Inveraray è un classico esempio di città pianificata del XVIII secolo con la sua caratteristica architettura georgiana imbiancata a calce. I passeggeri possono esplorare la città e i suoi negozi o visitare una delle attrazioni elencate di seguito. (Si prega di notare che questa fermata può essere ridotta a 60 minuti in inverno per ridurre al minimo l'impatto del tramonto anticipato più avanti nel tour.)
I passeggeri hanno la possibilità di esplorare il castello di Inveraray, dove oggi vivono il Duca di Argyll e la sua famiglia (i biglietti possono essere acquistati il giorno stesso). Respirate l'aria limpida delle Highlands passeggiando nel parco, nel bosco e nei giardini, che risplendono con gli arcobaleni delle azalee e dei rododendri che fioriscono ad Argyll in estate. (Si prega di notare che il castello è aperto solo da aprile a ottobre, da giovedì a lunedì, mentre è chiuso ogni martedì e mercoledì.
Invece di visitare il castello, i passeggeri possono anche scegliere di visitare una delle principali attrazioni turistiche della Scozia, la prigione di Inveraray del XIX secolo, un museo vivente dove si può sperimentare com'era essere incarcerati dietro le sue sbarre (i biglietti possono essere acquistati il giorno stesso) .
Ci fermiamo per le fotografie dell'imponente castello di Kilchurn, che si erge orgoglioso in cima al Loch Awe.
In origine un piccolo villaggio di pescatori, Oban è ora la "Porta delle Isole" e rinomata come la "capitale del pesce" della Scozia. Oggi il porto è il principale punto di partenza dei traghetti per l'isola di Mull e le Ebridi Interne ed Esterne. Gli amanti del pesce viaggiano da miglia intorno per assaporare il suo pescato fresco e quotidiano nei ristoranti della città e puoi assaporare anche questo, oppure optare per i classici piatti scozzesi o i sapori più internazionali.
Castle Stalker è una delle roccaforti più fotografate della Scozia e si trova su un isolotto di marea a Loch Laich. La tua guida autista ti indicherà il punto di vista per scattare foto.
Le montagne scure di Glencoe ti cadranno addosso mentre verrai trasportato in una valle di straordinaria bellezza naturale. È facile reimmaginare uno dei tempi più vergognosi della Scozia, il massacro di Glencoe del 1692, quando i soldati del governo guidato da Campbell massacrarono di notte il clan MacDonald. Ci fermeremo qui per ammirare il panorama e avremo il tempo di catturare alcune fotografie.
La nostra ultima tappa della serata sarà all'interno del Parco Nazionale di Loch Lomond e Trossachs, dove potrete godervi un rinfresco serale prima del nostro ritorno a Glasgow.

I had scheduled this tour months in advance however a few weeks prior my itinerary changed and i switched my day of the tour to 2 dats earlier, paid and had a ticket in my viator account. On the day of the tour the guide said i wasnt on his list. While i was pulling up my ticket and receipt on my phone he loaded everyone in the van and shut the door in my face. So i knocked on the window and he shoed me away. I said please look at my ticket. He refused and proceeded to leave without me. I contacted viator support and was refunded. With the refund confirmation i received an apology email from the company in which it asked let us know if they can assist me further. I responded with yes, is this tour available another day during my stay. I go NO response.
We are disappointed to read your review. It does not accurately represent the situation as it occurred. Due to an administrative error, your amended travel date was not updated on our system which we do apologise for. We understand this would have been disappointing. However, your description of the situation is extremely inaccurate. Your intended Tour Leader was female not male. She tried to help you, as did her colleague who was operating another tour. You then spoke to a member of our office team on the telephone. They apologised and confirmed the issue but before they were able to provide any assistance, you said you'd request a refund and hung up. We received your refund request a few minutes later which was promptly accepted. We then messaged you via Viator to apologise again as you have mentioned. We did ask if you required any assistance but the only response we received was "Thank you". You did not request any further information or assistance. We do sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused however, we feel your review is misleading and not an accurate representation of the situation.

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!

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.
