Excursão diurna para o Castelo de Stirling, o Parque Nacional Trossachs e o Lago Lomond saindo de Edimburgo
Descrição
Uma introdução perfeita à Escócia nesta excursão de pequenos grupos - história, lenda e paisagens deslumbrantes tudo em um. Esta viagem leva você de impressionante arte moderna para antigos campos de batalha. Começaremos com os Kelpies, as maiores esculturas de cavalos do mundo e uma homenagem ao passado industrial da Escócia. Em seguida, vamos para o Loch Lomond, o maior lago da Grã-Bretanha, cuja beleza tem inspirado poetas e pintores por séculos. De lá, vamos aventurar-nos para o Parque Nacional Loch Lomond Trossachs, uma terra de picos elevados e águas brilhantes, antes de voltar no tempo para o Castelo de Stirling, onde os reis encontraram seu destino, as rebeliões se enraizaram e a história da Escócia foi moldada. Um pouco de tudo, tudo em um dia inesquecível.

Itinerário
Depois de partir de Edimburgo, você terá a chance de visitar e se maravilhar com os deslumbrantes Kelpies, as maiores esculturas equinas do mundo dedicadas à herança a cavalo da Escócia Central, projetadas por Andy Scott.
Seguimos para o oeste através do cinturão central da Escócia em direção aos 'Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond', onde paramos em Balmaha para admirar as vistas de Ben Lomond. Aqui, você terá a oportunidade de fazer uma caminhada pela floresta que lhe proporcionará vistas espetaculares do lago. De pé em sua margem, você entenderá por que Loch Lomond foi imortalizado em uma música mundialmente famosa.
Aproveite a oportunidade para descobrir o impressionante Castelo de Stirling, uma das estruturas mais importantes da Escócia, tanto histórica quanto arquitetonicamente. Muitos membros da realeza foram coroados no Castelo de Stirling, incluindo Maria, Rainha da Escócia, e isso foi fundamental para a luta de William Wallace nas Guerras da Independência. Se você optar por não pagar a entrada para ver o castelo e seu esplendor, poderá visitar a cidade de Stirling e conhecer as lojas locais e os pontos turísticos da cidade.

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!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We will pass on your fantastic feedback to Wendi, it sounds like you had a great day. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind Regards, EJ - Sales and Reservations
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!
