Tour Privado de Condução pelas Terras Altas Centrais
Descrição
Este tour privado que permite divergir das sugestões com base no que pretende obter do dia. Passar o dia com um guia local permite que você veja as Highlands com estilo e em um ritmo lento que permite visitar castelos, fazer caminhadas ao ar livre para obter vistas deslumbrantes, seguir os passos de Rob Roy, comer em ótimos lugares locais, ou até mesmo visite uma destilaria de uísque, se quiser. Como este é um tour privado, podemos ajustá-lo para atender às suas necessidades, sem problemas. Observe que, quando você solicitar uma personalização, podemos fazê-lo na área em que o passeio será realizado. Não é possível pedir para ir a lugares a centenas de quilômetros desses locais e exigirá que você reserve um passeio adequado. Você será buscado/desembarcado em seu hotel/BNB e fará um passeio em uma van Mercedes com ar condicionado ou possivelmente em um Landrover para casais.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Vamos parar para a melhor vista do castelo, onde você pode aprender tudo sobre a história mais interessante. Se você quiser, podemos fazer com que você entre e você pode pular outra coisa.
Pare para passear pelas ruas da pitoresca cidade na "entrada das Terras Altas".
Conheça algumas vacas das montanhas se elas estiverem por aí. Normalmente podemos fazer isso de abril a outubro, fora desses meses eles ficam dentro de casa para o inverno.
Dê um passeio por um lago extremamente bonito com as colinas das montanhas subindo por seus lados.
Se o tempo permitir, podemos visitar as pitorescas Cataratas de Dochart em Killin. As quedas são largas em vez de altas, mas situadas em torno de lindas formações rochosas e uma ponte antiga com vista para Ben Lawers, a 10ª montanha mais alta do Reino Unido. Perto há um excelente fumeiro se alguém quiser experimentar um pouco de salmão defumado muito local.
Se gosta da ideia de um tour pela destilaria ou degustação de whisky, informe-nos e poderemos sugerir horários e experiências para reservar. Observe que isso não está incluído no custo da excursão, pois nem todo mundo quer fazer isso.
Visite o túmulo de um dos heróis mais famosos da Escócia ... ou ele era um vilão?
Embora o resto do passeio seja sobre a antiga Escócia, se você desejar, podemos parar para ver as incríveis esculturas de Kelpies em Falkirk no caminho de ou para as Terras Altas. Essas esculturas modernas são enormes e todos que as parecem ficam maravilhados. Você também descobrirá sobre a mitologia por trás de seu nome.

We were very fortunate to have Will be our guide for our day trip to the Highlands and he went above and beyond to make it an absolutely special day for us. Will was very communicative well before the trip and, although I’m sure he has a standard tour itinerary, he planned ahead and tailored our trip to what we were interested in seeing and doing to make it a truly bespoke experience. For example, we really had a keen interest in seeing working sheepdogs and Will went out of his way to research this and was able to book us a tour at Lurgan Farms which ended up being the highlight of our two-week trip to England, Scotland, and Ireland (and we did a lot!). Will has such a deep history of Scotland and was able to share so much of his knowledge throughout the day so we knew the significance of what we were seeing. He also gave us some excellent recommendations for local eateries, coffee shops, pubs, etc. beforehand so we had time to check them out online and see what we could work into our schedule. This is not a tour bus type of thing with 50 of your closest friends you don’t know but a private tour in a nice unmarked Mercedes van with pick up and drop off at your hotel. Will was an excellent driver and a pro at navigating the small winding roads of Scotland. My only disappointment was that I didn’t book a second day with him to see other sites as Scotland is absolutely beautiful. Without a doubt, 5 stars and more!
Dear Diane, Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review, it really is appreciated. When people book a tour with me I want them to have the best possible experience, so I am always happy to recommend local places to eat and drink in Edinburgh and I am glad you found places you like before we met for the tour. I always pick up directly from hotels for tours and when you said you wanted to see working sheepdogs I was delighted to be able to take you to Lurgen Farm and I am so happy it was the highlight of your whole UK trip. I do have "regular tours" where we will visit the best areas away from the tourists as well as some must see spots with tourists that helps people get a true understanding of Scottish history and culture, but I do love tours like yours the most where I get a request I can fulfill to make some wishes come true. I hope we get to meet again some day. Will
I wish I could give 10 stars!! Top notch - the BEST tour guide EVER! Scott was the most incredible tour guide we have ever had. He truly loves his country and loves to share it with his clients. We were absolutely captivated by his stories and knowledge (and jokes or course) - we learned so much about Scotland. We will be back! And we will contact Scott!
Dear Melissa B, Many thanks for taking the time to write a review for your private tour to the Scottish Highlands with Scott. Scott is a brilliant person to spend the day with, he is an expert in Scottish history and culture as well as having a great sense of humour. All of our team want to make your private tours of Scotland, so we are always happy to adjust the tours to suit your needs when we can and we always like a good mix of history, fun facts, stories and laughs. We are not a "read from a script" type of company, we love what we do and that's why we get so many great reviews 😀
Perfect way to see The Highlands without the worry of driving. Our driver, Scott was the perfect guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and a great story teller of Scottish history. We made lots of stops along the route and saw some amazing things that I’m not sure you would see if you were driving on your own. We stopped for a great lunch at such a quaint restaurant with delicious food. The stop at an award winning chocolate factory was a lot of fun. It rained midway through our tour but Scott made sure that did not hinder our trip. We would highly recommend this tour if you’re in Edinburgh!

A great time rain or shine! We hiked to the most spectacular view and ate a delicious local lunch. Who know Steak and haggis pie was so good!
Thanks for the review Jim, I thoroughly enjoyed our day together and I am glad you managed to enjoy the delights of both our great views and our amazing haggis. A true Scottish experience for you.
We had an amazing tour with Scott today! We are traveling with our 3 kids (9,13,16). Scott was great at talking to each kid in just the right way, keeping them engaged and entertained, not easy with the varied ages. Scott answered my 9 year old's endless questions with humor and patience. Scott was fun, informative, and entertaining, while always being professional. He was prepared with water and plenty of umbrellas, whenever needed. I highly recommend this tour with Scott!
Dear Nicole L, We are so happy you enjoyed your tour with us so much. Although many companies do t allow children on tour, we are always happy to have families with children, Scotland has so much to offer for people of all ages and we always want to make sure everyone with us is included. Scott is a great guide, he knows how to make sure each tour suits everyone's different needs perfectly. We hope you can come tour with us again one day. Kind regards, Will
Had an amazing day with Will from iconic tours. Will customized our itinerary based on our needs and we were able to see everything we wanted. He provided us with history lessons, whisky information and tasting as well as great pictures. Highly recommend this private tour of central Highlands.
Dear Loveyoutoo NJ, It was a real pleasure to meet you both and show you some of the Highlands. We are always happy to make the day suit in the area you a tour is booked for, there are so many options for great things to do and we like to make sure everyone has the day they want rather been taken to places on a checklist. I was more than happy to make sure you got to some great photo spots too. Hope to see you again. Will
If you want to have the best experience and explore Edinburgh and Scotland, Iconic Tours is the best company to do it, Will is the most attentive person, looking and adjusting any single detail to give the best experience. This tailor-made experience was above and beyond our expectations. Will responded and helped arrange a great day in the highlands, to provide us with a historic overview, while having a true Scottish experience visiting landmarks and great spots, and providing a super extra service around whisky, visiting distilleries, and at the same time sharing his knowledge and even a tasting from his private collection. Don't hesitate and go with the best.
Dear abunsow, Many thanks for taking the time to write a review for your tour with me. It was a real pleasure to meet you and I, as well as the other guides at Iconic Tours, are always happy to adjust tours to suit. Like you, I am a big whisky fan and as well as distillery visits I was happy to bring along some whisky I thought you wouldn't have tried to get a fuller experience on the day. Scotland is amazing, we have so much to offer and I hope you can come visit again. Until next we meet, Will
Wonderful, private 9 hour experience led by our very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Bryan. He asked us what we wanted to see and also made fantastic recommendations. He was impeccably dressed, professional, and very interactive with our family. He made advanced reservations for us at a lovely restaurant with amazing views. We saw everything we wanted to see - Kelpies, Stirling Castle/Wallace monument (from a distance on the bridge where Bryan told us the history of the battle that occurred there), highland cows, hike to a scenic overlook, Rob Roy grave, and walked down to the Loch. Plenty of stops to use restrooms along the way. We knew this tour only went to the mid-part of the Highlands which we were fine with since we had limited time. If you want high country, you will spend a lot of time in the car and need a much longer tour. We were so inspired by Bryan's historical talk, we watched Braveheart that evening ha ha
Dear Laurie, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for your tour with Bryan from Iconic Tours. Bryan is always impeccable in every way and is a great person to spend a day with to get an amazing insight into Scottish history and culture whilst exploring the Highlands. The Highlands is a huge area and we feel we can give a great taste of the lower and Central Highlands without having to do huge drives that involve just whizzing by places without many chances to stop. We love to get people away from the crowds and see the Highlands in it's natural beauty. We hope you can come tour with us again. Will
It was such an amazing day. I was traveling with my 21 year old twins and Will was our guide. Will make sure we saw everything we wanted and some hidden spots that were amazing. He was funny, kind and everyone really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend this tour
Dear Brittany_w, It was really great fun to spend the day with all three of you. As well as some of the famous must-see spots we always like to get people off the beaten path to some hidden gems. I am also glad that the stories and history being supplemented with some humour was appreciated as well. It's always fun to have fun. Hope to see you again one day. Will
