Tour giornaliero al castello di Stirling, al parco nazionale del Trossachs e al Loch Lomond da Edimburgo
Descrizione
Un'introduzione perfetta alla Scozia in questo tour per piccoli gruppi: storia, leggenda e paesaggi mozzafiato tutto in uno. Questo viaggio ti porta dalla suggestiva arte moderna agli antichi campi di battaglia. Inizieremo con The Kelpies, le sculture di cavalli più grandi del mondo e un omaggio al passato industriale della Scozia. Poi, si parte per Loch Lomond, il più grande lago della Gran Bretagna, la cui bellezza ha ispirato poeti e pittori per secoli. Da lì, ci avventureremo nel Loch Lomond Trossachs National Park, una terra di cime imponenti e acque scintillanti, prima di fare un salto indietro nel tempo al Castello di Stirling dove i re incontrarono il loro destino, le ribellioni attecchirono e la storia della Scozia fu plasmata. Un po’ di tutto, tutto in una giornata indimenticabile.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Dopo aver lasciato Edimburgo, avrai la possibilità di visitare e ammirare le meravigliose Kelpies, le più grandi sculture equine del mondo dedicate al patrimonio a cavallo della Scozia centrale, progettate da Andy Scott.
Ci dirigiamo a ovest attraverso la cintura centrale della Scozia verso le "Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond", dove ci prendiamo del tempo a Balmaha per ammirare le vedute di Ben Lomond. Qui avrai l'opportunità di fare una passeggiata nei boschi che ti offrirà una vista spettacolare sul lago. Stando sulla sua sponda capirai perché Loch Lomond è stato immortalato in una canzone di fama mondiale.
Cogli l'occasione di scoprire l'imponente Castello di Stirling, una delle strutture più importanti della Scozia sia dal punto di vista storico che architettonico. Molti reali sono stati incoronati al Castello di Stirling, tra cui Mary Queen of Scots, e fu centrale nella lotta di William Wallace nelle Guerre d'Indipendenza. Se scegli di non pagare l'ingresso per vedere il Castello e il suo splendore, puoi invece visitare la città di Stirling e provare i negozi e le attrazioni locali della città.

A very nice trip with commentary from Ali. Lovely scenery and Stirling Castle is well worth the visit.
We enjoyed our tour and our guide Sophie was absolutely outstanding. It was a very nice experience and one that I would highly recommend.
Stirling Castle was definitely worth seeing; the rest, not especially. The tour guide was a former part-time actor and spent a lot of time talking about that (and his other personal experiences). He was an entertaining speaker but better on picturesque language - evidently pre-scripted and largely drawn from tourism websites - than facts. For some reason he told us the Kelpies represent Clydesdale horses and said nothing about their true meaning - making it even harder to understand why a modern outdoor sculpture is part of the tour at all. (Without the legend, which wasn't mentioned, it was nothing but a stop at a large souvenir shop.) Also, to start the tour we had to stand on line outside the tour office in a cold drizzle until almost time to to leave; we were not allowed inside except to pay our additional fee for admission to the castle.
Steve took us on an adventure that started at the Kelpies, continued to a breathtaking walk along the shores of Loch Lommond and went on to the iconic Stirling castle. From beginning to end, Steve infused Scottish history, music, culture and details into our day. He was funny, charismatic and had immense knowledge to share. We even did a sing along to the proclaimers “I’m gonna be (500 miles)” on our journey home. 10/10 recommend going on this tour with Steve!!!
An excellent day. Sophie was an excellent guide and driver. We learned a lot about Scottish history and other fun facts!

Torva was a great guide for my kelpies, loch lomand and Stirling tour. He was friendly and told stories on the bus with humour and enthusiasm! The Scottish music played during the tour was a lovely touch! The locations on the tour were brilliant- a great way to tick off some sights in a day. I’d use Haggis Adventures again!

Wendy had the best talk of any of several guides we've had in Scotland - clearly enunciated, informative and entertaining. Right amount of time at each site. Extra stops at the Firth bridges and a farm for a hairy coo. Excellent day!

A great tour with a great and knowledgeable tour guide! He gave us so much interesting information about Scotland. I appreciate hearing the stories as we were driving. And the soundtrack of Scottish music playing while driving was awesome; a wonderful variety of familiar and unfamiliar tunes. The stops were well timed - interesting and allowed for bathroom breaks. The walk (little hike) at Loch Lomond allowed for a bit of an outdoor activity; it was beautiful! And Stirling castle was amazing. Three hours there was perfect! It was a great day!
