Porta de Ricky para o Highlands Tour
Descrição
Passe o dia longe das movimentadas ruas da capital da Escócia, Edimburgo. Fornecemos bicicletas, capacetes e transporte para o coração do Parque Nacional Trossachs, a apenas 1 hora e meia de carro do centro da cidade. Passaremos o dia pedalando na magnífica paisagem na entrada das Terras Altas da Escócia. Passando por lagos cintilantes, cachoeiras espetaculares, exuberantes florestas nativas e contemplando as encostas íngremes das altas montanhas. Podemos ter a sorte de avistar veados selvagens, águias, vacas das terras altas e todos os outros animais selvagens que chamam este impressionante parque de lar. Haverá também uma ótima parada para almoço com uma vista deslumbrante. (Almoço não incluído no preço)

Itinerário
Sairemos de Edimburgo, capital da Escócia, em direção ao Parque Nacional Trossachs. Levaremos cerca de 1,5 horas para chegar à bela cidade de Aberfoyle, aninhada entre montanhas, lagos e florestas até o ponto inicial de nosso ciclo.
Aberfoyle é uma cidade pequena e pitoresca no coração do Parque Nacional Trossachs. É cercada por montanhas e florestas e será o início do nosso passeio de bicicleta. Um dos primeiros destinos turísticos das Highlands em 1800, sua popularidade veio da abertura da estação ferroviária que traria visitantes das cidades de Edimburgo e Glasgow. Seguiremos seus passos pedalando para fora da cidade e seguindo para os grandes espaços ao ar livre que nos cercam.
Depois de deixar Aberfoyle, chegaremos a Loch Ard, um belo lago com água cristalina e lar de muita vida selvagem e vistas fantásticas
Nossa rota ondulante sobe, desce e serpenteia através de raras florestas nativas passando pelo remoto e belo Loch Chon. Você tem a chance de visitar uma pequena e tranquila praia e ver as imponentes montanhas.
O píer de Stronachlachar é o ponto de parada do navio a vapor Sir Walter Scott, que esteve ativo no Loch Katrine em 1899. É também aqui que podemos parar para um ótimo almoço no Pier Cafe. (Almoço não incluído no preço)
Glen Gyle, no extremo oeste de Loch Katrine, foi o local de nascimento e o lar do famoso fora-da-lei e lutador pela liberdade Rob Roy McGregor
Chegar ao final do Loch Katrine, no Trossachs Pier, é o final do nosso grande dia nas bicicletas. Vamos buscá-lo e levá-lo de volta a Edimburgo.
Loch Katrine é um dos vastos lagos de água doce da Escócia. Ele se estende até onde os olhos podem ver. A rota sobe e desce sobre as suas margens e sob os altos picos das montanhas.
Nossa rota se abre das florestas nativas para vistas deslumbrantes do Loch Arklet e dos distantes Alpes Arrochar. Um ótimo local para fotos de sua experiência.

We had a truly amazing time! We were lucky to have a private tour (just with the 2 of us due to cancellation of a group) and couldn’t be happier! Ricky (and dog Lucy) are wonderful hosts. With great knowledge of the area and professional guidance during rougher terrain we experienced an adventurous (ask for the gravel road!) but safe ride. Some tips, we had rain during our time so we recommend waterproof clothing and definitely go for the e-bikes. We give this ride a 10/10 and wouldn’t mind taking it again!
Me and my husband went on Rickys gateway to highlands tour and it was absolutely amazing!!! The view was beautiful beyond imagination. And Riccardo were such a talented tour guide, both knowledgeable and funny. We are so happy that we went on this tour and I recommend it to anyone that would like a piece of magic on your trip to Edinburgh. 🤩 Best regards // Astrid
It was a very very wet Scottish day. The country side was impressive in its own beauty. The lake and high mountains shrouded in a mysterious mist. The forest colors enhanced by the rain and waterfalls overflowing their banks making their presence visible that according to Stuart (guide) was a treat since they are hard to see otherwise. Our guide Stuart helped us have the best day we spent in Scotland. His knowledge of the area, Scotland and it’s history was amazing. He kept us laughing and smiling. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our time. A must, highly recommend this one… 👍🏽
Top rated tour. Stuart was a great guide. We enjoyed the cycling, the nature, the lake and the town. It was perfect trip.
My husband and I have done many bike tours in many locations. We absolutely loved the Scottish Highland tour. Ricky was very flexible, knowledgeable, and created a wonderful tour. The ride was almost all on off road trails, that were doable for most cyclists. The scenery was stunning and Ricky was very adaptable with the agenda. All the equipment was in good working order and Ricky even provided gloves and rain coats (for the mist at the start of the ride). I really can’t recommend this ride enough. It has been our favorite part of Edinburgh! Thanks for a stunning day, riding the Highlands
We had a positively fabulous time with our guide Stuart on our 25-mile ride through the Highlands. Pickup was prompt and easy, the drive to the start of the ride was quick, and Stuart is a passionate cyclist and is packed full of knowledge about Scotland and the area we toured. The ride was challenging and, at times we questioned our decision to not use e-bikes, but felt quite accomplished at the finish. The tour was very scenic and we felt extremely privileged to see this part of Scotland that is mostly inaccessible by auto. Lunch was also delightful. This tour was by far the highlight of our trip to Edinburgh!
Hi guys, thank you so much for your great feedback, I'm so glad you had such an excellent time. We always say it's the group that makes it, so thank you for that. Safe travels.
Wonderful day with Ricky in the highlands in Loch Katrine’s area. Magnificent scenery! Nice bike tour with lovely places for nice breaks. All very well organized. Just take a day outside Edinburgh to get a flavor of Scotland!
A fantastic ride with Stuart. My wife and I had a private tour of the Trossochs around Loch Katrin. The trail was paved and it was an easy ride, especially with the electric assist. The bikes were in great shape and Stuart was extremely considerate, checking up on my wife and I. You really can’t pick a better trip than this.
Excellent tour. Gorgeous scenery. Stuart was our guide and he was wonderful. He has a genuine love for cycling and sharing Scottish history. We feel quite lucky to have had such a fabulous tour with him. We highly recommend.
I had a great time, guide was knowledgeable and engaging. Very easy pace for the ride with few hills, definitely recommend for anyone's first time in the city.
