Tour de Oban, Highland Lochs, Glens, Castles e Glencoe a partir 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.

We visited everything that was planned in the program and even more! Inverary was a gem; I preferred not to go to the castle and walk around this little town to enjoy the local products. Alan was very kind, attentive to our comfort and safety! He clearly highlighted the breaks and meeting points, also recommending excellent places to shop and eat. During the trip, he gave us a lot of interesting and curious information. 10/10!
Thank you for your 5 star review. We are so happy you enjoyed your tour and the places you visited. We are also glad that Alan was very kind and provided clear explanations. We will be sure to pass along your kind words. - Discover Scotland Tours

The weather was beautiful and our tour guide Alan was very nice. However from the very start of the trip Alan kept informing everyone that we were behind schedule even though no one was late to the tour. Throughout the whole tour there was consistent reminders that we weren’t going to have a much time at destinations as allocated and that even though they’re considered ‘extra stops’ we would not have time to go to said stops. It grew very frustrating to hear this considering the tour left on time. I can respect that customers were not listening to times at certain stops but I think the biggest issue was just how frequently time was being spoken about and having this feeling of missing out etc whereas if times had been needed to be cut and perhaps not been expressed quite as much it wouldn’t have felt disappointing. All this being said Alan was friendly and informative but just a little too stressed at times that didn’t feel warranted.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your experience on tour was impacted. Customers arriving back from stops later than scheduled can have a major impact on the tour however we understand that this should be dealt with in a way that does not overshadow the enjoyment of the others on board. We will speak to your Tour Leader to ensure this is addressed for future tours. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope that it didn't impact your overall enjoyment and that you enjoyed the Highland scenery.
We had a lovely time, with a nice small group. A perfectly balanced tour between sights, photo ops and culinary brakes (seafood shack in Oban has been my personal favorite) All of that, topped off by Billy our tourguide who was very welcoming lad, with a lot of knowledge, side notes, stories and (morbid;) fun facts all around the trip, it’s been a great pleasure!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback! We are thrilled you had a lovely time, enjoying the smaller group. We are glad you enjoyed the sights, photo ops and stops on the tour. We are delighted that Billy was able to help make the tour even better, his knowledge and stories always make for an incredible tour! We will be sure to pass along your kind comments and hope to see you on tour again soon! - Discover Scotland Tours
