Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Loch Shiel Tour vanuit Glasgow
Beschrijving
Een prachtige dagtour vanuit Glasgow die ons naar locaties uit films als Skyfall, Highlander en Harry Potter brengt. We reizen naar Glencoe en de ‘Road to the Isles’, van Fort William naar Glenfinnan. Bekijk de Jacobite Steam Train terwijl deze het Glenfinnan Viaduct oversteekt (apr-okt), een Schots icoon dat beroemd is om zijn klassieke Victoriaanse techniek. Het staat ook bekend als de ‘Harry Potter-brug’ die de jonge tovenaar naar Zweinstein brengt
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Luss ligt op de bonnie banken van Loch Lomond. Niet alleen stoppen we hier voor ochtendversnaperingen, maar om te genieten van een prachtig uitzicht op Loch Lomond. Ben Lomond, Schotlands meest zuidelijke Munro, (bergen van meer dan 3000 voet hoog) kan ook worden bekeken vanaf hier.
Glencoe was het decor van een van de meest beruchte periodes in de Schotse geschiedenis, het bloedbad van Glencoe dat plaatsvond in 1692. Het prachtige landschap is een must see voor bezoekers. We stoppen bij het Glencoe Visitor Centre om meer te leren over de geschiedenis van de glen. Het centrum is ook de thuisbasis van het turfhuis waar u kunt zien hoe het leven moet zijn geweest voor de 500-600 sterke gemeenschap die hier in de 17e eeuw in Glencoe woonde. We reizen twee keer door de glen ('s ochtends en 's avonds) en stoppen voor foto's en om het landschap in ons op te nemen terwijl we daar zijn.
In de schaduw van Ben Nevis ligt het vakantiestadje Fort William. We reizen 's ochtends door de stad om mee te doen aan de romantische 'Road to the Isles'
We hebben genoeg tijd om Glenfinnan te bezoeken, omdat de uitzichten hier gewoon spectaculair zijn. Je ziet de 21 bogen van het majestueuze Glenfinnan Viaduct door de vallei krommen in een scène die vereeuwigd is als de route naar Harry Potter’s Hogwarts (van 2 april tot 2 oktober proberen we het viaduct op tijd te bereiken om de Jacobitische stoomtrein te zien oversteken). Het Glenfinnan Monument ligt aan het hoofd van Loch Shiel en werd opgericht in 1815, ter ere van de Jacobieten die vochten en stierven voor de zaak van Bonnie Prince Charlie. Er is ook tijd om entree te betalen om het monument te bezoeken als je dat wilt. (Let op: De Jacobitische stoomtrein rijdt niet tussen 1 en 5 september 2025.)
Na een terugreis door Glencoe & Rannoch moor, zal onze laatste stop van de avond zijn in het Loch Lomond en Trossachs National Park, waar u kunt genieten van een vroege avond verfrissing voor onze terugkeer naar Glasgow.

Fantastic day trip to the Highlands! Ron was an excellent guide—not only a great driver, but incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. I was so impressed by how much history, local knowledge, and stories he shared throughout the 12-hour tour. The drive flew by. Every stop was a must-see, and Ron's insider tips made each one even better. If you're looking for a Highlands day trip, I highly recommend this one. Thanks for an unforgettable day, Ron!

Get ready for any kind of weather. Go all the way up to see the train (don’t be lazy). The views from there are amazing, plus the train that looks like bringing the past back. Leave enough room in your phone (or camera), because you’ll need it for all the pictures you’ll be taking.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are glad you enjoyed the tour, the train crossing the viaduct and we are glad you got to take loads of photos! - Discover Scotland Tours

From first point of contact our driver/guide Maggie was friendly and courteous, after a bit of a delay due to us taking our emotional support dog Marley the day was incredible, from the outset Maggie’s first concern was for the safety of her passengers, Maggie is very friendly, knowledgeable and is an excellent driver, we were given ample time at the stops we made for photos and refreshments, Maggie we believe is made for the job she does and gives a lot of information on the tour, although we had a wet tour everything went as planned, arriving at our destination and back again safely, we couldn’t have asked for more. We would 100% recommend this company and their tours to friends family etc and we would certainly book tours with the company again
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are delighted that you were able to appreciate Maggie's care for everyone and her priority for safety! It is great you all enjoyed your tour and thank you for the recommendation. We hope to welcome you back in the future! - Discover Scotland Tours
Big owl was our tour guide, he went over and above his tour guide duties where we were able to feel relaxed, entertained and fully informed about our surroundings and the tour in general. We would have no hesitation in recommending big L or any tour put on by this company. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are really glad you enjoyed your tour guide and how passionate he was at providing you with the best experience. We hope to see you again! - Discover Scotland Tours
We had the best time with Dave and his dad jokes! My partner fell in love with him :D We took the daily tour to Glenfinnan Viaduct. We had enough time on all spots, but we still want to go back! The price was great and the experience we received, combined with the small groups that the operator keeps works out perfectly. The views are simply stunning in rain or shine! Our group of 5 had a blast, we highly recomend the experience and the operator.
It is great to see how much you appreciated Dave's Dad jokes, we'll be sure to let him know! Thank you for your kind words about us as a tour operator and we are delighted to see that enjoyed all the stops throughout your tour. We hope to help you discover more of Scotland one day! - Discover Scotland Tours
