Oban, Highland Lochs, Glens, Castles & Glencoe Tour saindo de Glasgow
Descrição
Em nossa excursão de um dia para Oban saindo de Glasgow, você experimentará um pouco de tudo o que a espetacular beleza natural da Escócia tem a oferecer. Este é o acidentado Western Highlands, onde majestosas montanhas se transformam em gloriosos lagos. Castelos e vales escondem histórias trágicas de séculos atrás, e portos movimentados servem comida saborosa e atrações premiadas. Seu simpático guia-motorista dará vida às lendas escocesas enquanto compartilhamos nosso país, desde as belas margens do Loch Lomond até a assombrosa Glencoe.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Você verá o Lago Lomond através de sua janela panorâmica enquanto nós meander suas costas ocidentais. Se você olhar para a direita, você verá Ben Lomond, o Munro mais ao sul da Escócia (uma montanha acima de 3000 pés) e seu primeiro do tour. Nós também teremos uma curta parada refrescante perto do lago.
Fizemos uma pausa para fotos no ‘Rest and Be Thankful’, um icônico mirante escocês assim chamado graças às palavras esculpidas em pedra por soldados cansados que construíram a estrada militar original em 1753.
Inveraray é uma das cidades mais fotografadas da Escócia. Fundada em 1745 pelo 3o Duque de Argyll, chefe do poderoso Clã Campbell. Inveraray é um exemplo clássico de uma cidade planejada do século XVIII com sua arquitetura georgiana branca distinta. Os passageiros podem explorar a cidade e suas lojas ou visitar uma das atrações listadas abaixo. (Por favor, note que esta parada pode ser reduzida para 60 minutos no inverno para minimizar o impacto do pôr do sol cedo mais tarde no passeio.)
Os passageiros têm a opção de explorar o Castelo de Inveraray, onde o Duque de Argyll e sua família vivem hoje (os ingressos podem ser comprados no dia). Respire o ar puro das Terras Altas em um passeio pelo parque, bosques e jardins, que são resplandecentes com arco-íris de azaléias e rododendros que florescem em Argyll no verão. (Observe que o castelo só abre de abril a outubro, de quinta a segunda. Ele fecha todas as terças e quartas.
Em vez de visitar o castelo, os passageiros também podem optar por visitar uma das principais atrações turísticas da Escócia, a Cadeia de Inveraray do século 19, um museu vivo onde você pode experimentar como é estar preso atrás das grades (os ingressos podem ser comprados no dia) .
Paramos para fotos do imponente Castelo de Kilchurn, orgulhosamente erguido à frente do Loch Awe.
Originalmente uma pequena vila de pescadores, Oban é agora a ‘Porta de entrada para as Ilhas’ e conhecida como ‘capital do marisco’ da Escócia. Hoje, o porto é o principal ponto de partida da balsa para a Ilha de Mull e as Hébridas Internas e Exteriores. Os amantes de frutos do mar viajam por quilômetros para saborear suas pescadas frescas e diárias nos restaurantes da cidade e você também pode saboreá-los ou optar por pratos escoceses clássicos ou mais sabores internacionais.
Castle Stalker é uma das fortalezas mais fotografadas da Escócia.Ele se empoleira em sua própria ilhota de maré em Loch Laich. O guia do motorista irá indicar o ponto de vista para capturar fotos.
As montanhas escuras de Glencoe cairão sobre você enquanto você é entregue a um vale de incrível beleza natural. É fácil reimaginar um dos tempos mais vergonhosos da Escócia, o massacre de Glencoe em 1692, quando os soldados do governo liderados por Campbell massacraram o clã MacDonald à noite. Faremos uma parada aqui para contemplar as vistas e ter tempo para tirar algumas fotos.
Nossa última parada da noite será dentro do Parque Nacional Loch Lomond e Trossachs, onde você pode desfrutar de um refrescante início da noite antes de nosso retorno a Glasgow.

Great scenery and the stops were at exactly the right times and duration. Our guide, Scott, was fabulous - funny, friendly and enthusiastic throughout. A great day out, in spite of the weather.
Loved the day trip that went to Inverary, Oban with photo stops in Glencoe area. There were several short stops along the way to see the sights and stretch your legs. The stop at Inverary was good. Perhaps a little less time was needed in Inverary to permit more time in Oban. The stop in Oban was great - had a wonderful seafood lunch there. Our guide Kieran was great and had lots of stories about Scotland to tell. Really enjoyed our tour with Kieren.
It is great to hear how much you enjoyed your tour to Oban, including Inveraray and Glencoe. We are glad you got to make the most of these stops and we are also happy to hear that Ciaran was able to add to your experience with his stories. We hope to see you again soon! - Discover Scotland Tours

Thank you for your 5 star review! - Discover Scotland Tours
Long day of driving but the scenery is beautiful! Maggie was very sweet but not as entertaining as other guides I’ve toured with. Oban was great place for lunch and shopping - no need for stops at other touristy gift shops. Could have walked to Stalker castle (which all wanted to do) because there was no time, just took photos from far away, but then stopped at a couple of stops that were 20-30 minutes of wasted time. Also stopped in Town with castle with about a mile walk to castle and back each way, maybe could have dropped those who wanted to tour castle at parking lot rather than make us walk both ways- could have done more in that town that way.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and provide feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the scenery and also enjoyed your stop in Oban for lunch. We are always looking at ways to improve our tours, so your feedback is much appreciated and we will take it on board. - Discover Scotland Tours
Kieran , the man with oodles of energy and a knowledge of thousands books. Loves his Scottish heritage and being around people. Just what I needed after a long week to see the beautiful landscapes of scotland. The trip is well planned and the drive smooth can't recommend enough.
Thank you for your 5 star review and recommendation! We are delighted that Ciaran's passion and knowledge on Scotland gave you exactly what you needed at the end of a long week. We hope to help you discover more of Scotland in the future. - Discover Scotland Tours
Our guide Kenan was AMAZING! He did a great job telling us bits of history about places we passed by (both at our stops and random fun facts) and was filled with a positive optimism and demeanor. We loved his humor! He even went the extra mile and did a quick stop for a kid who wanted to see some Highland Cows (with some awesome pictures to come from it for everyone!) If there was an opportunity along our route to get out and take some pictures of awesome scenery, he was more than happy to do it. It was clear that he really loved his country and was excited to share that love with us all. My husband and I both said that it was one of the best days of our lives, and that he was a part of making that experience so enjoyable. He took the time to joke with us all and get to know us and where we were from and were comfortable. Directions from him were clear when told where to be picked up after each excursion, and was professional all throughout the trip. He also told us for our stops some shops and good places to eat so we weren’t just dropped without an idea of what to do. Whatever this man is being paid, TRIPLE IT! Thank you Kenan for making our trip so amazing!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your day with your guide. It's great to know his stories, humour, and extra touches helped make your trip so memorable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope to welcome you back again someday! - Discover Scotland Tours
