Hotéis perto de Private Stirling Castle, Kelpies, Falkirk Wheel & Highland 'Coos'
Descrição
Nossa primeira atração do dia é uma visita a uma folha de 'Highland Coos'. Pare para admirar essas bestas gentis, capturando fotos de sua aparência distinta e natureza amigável. Com sua câmera cheia de fotos memoráveis, nossa próxima parada é o Castelo de Stirling. Passeie por seus grandes salões, passeie pelas antigas ruínas e aprenda sobre figuras lendárias como William Wallace e Robert the Bruce. Depois de explorar o rico passado de Stirling, faremos o nosso caminho para Falkirk, onde as maravilhas da engenharia moderna esperam. Primeiro, você visitará a roda Falkirk, um feito de engenharia deslumbrante que levanta barcos entre dois sistemas de canais com uma rotação suave. Sua próxima parada é The Kelpies, duas esculturas gigantescas de cabeça de cavalo. Estas estruturas impressionantes se baseiam no folclore escocês e na herança mineira da região. Você será capaz de caminhar entre essas esculturas colossais, sentindo-se pequeno em sua sombra, e apreciar a arte e engenharia por trás delas.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Os Kelpies são duas esculturas icônicas de cavalos do escultor de Glasgow Andy Scott. Estando de 100 pés (30 metros) de altura, estas são as estátuas de cavalo mais altas do mundo, inspiradas no patrimônio cultural dos Kelpies escoceses (féias de água), bem como os cavalos de tração de Clydesdale usados nas minas de carvão locais.
A roda Falkirk é o único elevador de barco giratório do mundo que liga o Canal Forth & Clyde ao Canal Union. Graças a uma fusão única de arte e engenharia, a roda Falkirk levanta barcos a 35 metros para o ar em apenas alguns minutos, usando apenas a mesma quantidade de energia que seria necessária para ferver oito caldeiras. Nota: não teremos tempo para fazer o passeio de barco de roda nesta excursão.
Com mais de 1000 anos de história, o Castelo de Stirling é um dos locais históricos mais importantes da Escócia, e seu passado apresenta alguns dos personagens mais icônicos da Escócia, como William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots e Bonnie Prince Charlie. Este incrível castelo foi uma vez a residência favorita dos reis e rainhas de Stewart. Depois de uma extensa restauração, o castelo oferece uma experiência única com personagens em traje de época, como guardas do corpo, funcionários da corte e servidores, que lhe contarão informações sobre algumas das salas principais que você visitará, trazendo ao vivo o século 16! Há também passeios gratuitos regulares pelos guias do castelo que partem regularmente do portal.
Veja nossas famosas Highland Cows! O Pollok Fold (herdeiro) foi trazido das terras altas da Escócia para pastar o solo dentro do Pollok Country Park quase 200 anos atrás. O corte tem 30 fêmeas de reprodução de pedigree e 3 touros adultos, que calam principalmente de março a junho. Passando todo o ano ao ar livre devido ao seu cabelo duplo, eles sempre podem ser vistos nos campos do Pollok Park.

We spent the day with Karen and had a fabulous time. She was friendly and knowledgeable and we saw the beautiful Kelpies, and the Falkirk wheel, Sterling Castle and of course the Highland cows. I would highly recommend the tour and Karen!
Thank you so much Laurie! Glad you had a great day with Karen. Appreciate the 5 stars and recommendation!
Simon was terrific, excellent, outstanding...could keep going with numerous adjectives for him, he was that good! We (group of 5) took the half day private tour which included seeing the Highland Cows, Stirling Castle, Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel. Simon was very informative at each of the stops and giving plenty of time for our group to sufficiently explore. Simon provided a taste of the Orange Soda, commonly referred to as Scotland's "other national drink" as well as Tunnock's Milk Chocolate Mallows. Both of which were excellent.
Thank you so much for the 5 stars and lovely review, Kim! Glad you had a great day with Simon and enjoyed the treats. Irn Bru is quite a unique taste so I'm glad you liked it!
We had an amazing time on our tour. Our guide/driver Ryan Riley made the tour so enjoyable. Ryan is a true ambassador for Scotland!
Thank you Curtis! Such lovely feedback for Ryan, he'll be very pleased :)
Karen was great. Really enjoyed the trip.
We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with Karen. She is a much loved guide.
A little glimpse into the attractions around Glasgow. Well worth the trip and good for those who cannot dedicate a longer excursion. Our tour guide, Simon, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Despite not being able to access the area closest to the Kelpies (through no fault of his own), he was able to roll with it and offer us a little tour around Glasgow. We’re had a great day and would highly recommend and would likely use again if we were to go on another tour in Scotland.
Thank you so much Audra, glad you had a great day with Simon and that you got to see some of Glasgow! Shame about the Kelpies :(
Excellent tour!! Gerry greeted us at the cruise terminal, he was very knowledgeable about the area and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. He took us to the sights that we wanted to see and then added some extra stops that he thought we would enjoy. We could not have asked for a better experience!! Highly recommend Gerry and this tour
Our Stirling Castle and Kelpies tour is a great shore excursion, having Gerry as your guide is a great start, many thanks Patricia for your 5 ⭐️ review
Such a great tour of Glasgow area! Shaq was a fabulous tour guide. He picked us up at the cruise pier & kept track of time to get us back in plenty of time. We really enjoyed his company & he was extremely knowledgeable of the entire area. We saw castles, ruins, highland cows, kelties, lots of Lochs, learned some history of Scotland all while laughing, joking & enjoying the ride. It’s a private tour so Shaq went everywhere we wanted to go, gave us plenty of time but we were able to stay ahead of the big cruise ship bus tours. We all really enjoyed this tour & would highly recommend it. If you are on a cruise, stopping in Greenock, book this tour!
What a cracking day with Shaq on your Stirling Castle, Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel Tour. Many thanks for the 5-star rating. Thank you.
This tour was amazing and Shaq, our guide, was fabulous!!! We got to see so many great sights, learned so much about Scotland and it's culture, AND even had time to look in several cute shops. Shaq knew all the BEST spots and budgeted our time perfectly! The vehicle was clean, well stocked with great snacks, and very comfortable! This tour is WELL WORTH your time and money!!!! Can't wait to come back to do it again!!
It's always too great for us to hear when our guides go that extra mile for the customers. We really appreciate your warm words for not only Shaq but the tour itself. Many thanks!
Lovely day in Scotland. Corinne had great communication and took excellent care of us. We enjoyed the day.
Many thanks for your five-star review. Corinne will be really grateful for mentioning her.
We came via cruise ship and had an awesome day with Alan! We visited Stirling Castle, saw some Highland coos, took a ride on the Falkirk wheel and saw the Kelpies. Such a fun and memorable tour.
What a wonderful review, Alan will be so grateful for your compliments
