Stirling Castle, Trossachs National och Loch Lomond Day Tour från Edinburgh
Beskrivning
En perfekt introduktion till Skottland på denna lilla grupptur - historia, legend och hisnande landskap i ett. Denna resa tar dig från slående modern konst till antika slagfält. Vi börjar med The Kelpies, världens största hästskulpturer och en hyllning till Skottlands industriella förflutna. Sedan bär det av till Loch Lomond, den största sjön i Storbritannien, vars skönhet har inspirerat poeter och målare i århundraden. Därifrån beger vi oss till nationalparken Loch Lomond Trossachs, ett land med höga toppar och skimrande vatten, innan vi kliver tillbaka i tiden på Stirling Castle där kungar mötte sitt öde, uppror slog rot och Skottlands historia formades. Lite av varje, allt på en oförglömlig dag.
Turalternativ
Resplan
Efter att ha lämnat Edinburgh kommer du att ha chansen att besöka och förundras över de fantastiska Kelpies, världens största hästskulpturer tillägnade det hästdrivna arvet i Centrala Skottland, designade av Andy Scott.
Vi beger oss västerut genom Skottlands centrala bälte mot "Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond" där vi tar tid vid Balmaha för att beundra utsikten över Ben Lomond. Här kommer du att ha möjlighet att gå på en skogsvandring som ger dig en spektakulär utsikt över sjön. Stående på dess strand kommer du att förstå varför Loch Lomond har förevigats i en världsberömd låt.
Ta chansen att upptäcka imponerande Stirling Castle, en av Skottlands viktigaste strukturer både historiskt och arkitektoniskt. Många kungligheter har krönts på Stirling Castle, inklusive Mary Queen of Scots, och det var centralt i William Wallaces kamp i självständighetskrigen. Om du väljer att inte betala entré för att se slottet och dess prakt kan du besöka staden Stirling och uppleva de lokala butikerna och sevärdheterna runt staden istället.

A very nice trip with commentary from Ali. Lovely scenery and Stirling Castle is well worth the visit.
We enjoyed our tour and our guide Sophie was absolutely outstanding. It was a very nice experience and one that I would highly recommend.
Stirling Castle was definitely worth seeing; the rest, not especially. The tour guide was a former part-time actor and spent a lot of time talking about that (and his other personal experiences). He was an entertaining speaker but better on picturesque language - evidently pre-scripted and largely drawn from tourism websites - than facts. For some reason he told us the Kelpies represent Clydesdale horses and said nothing about their true meaning - making it even harder to understand why a modern outdoor sculpture is part of the tour at all. (Without the legend, which wasn't mentioned, it was nothing but a stop at a large souvenir shop.) Also, to start the tour we had to stand on line outside the tour office in a cold drizzle until almost time to to leave; we were not allowed inside except to pay our additional fee for admission to the castle.
Steve took us on an adventure that started at the Kelpies, continued to a breathtaking walk along the shores of Loch Lommond and went on to the iconic Stirling castle. From beginning to end, Steve infused Scottish history, music, culture and details into our day. He was funny, charismatic and had immense knowledge to share. We even did a sing along to the proclaimers “I’m gonna be (500 miles)” on our journey home. 10/10 recommend going on this tour with Steve!!!
An excellent day. Sophie was an excellent guide and driver. We learned a lot about Scottish history and other fun facts!

Wendy had the best talk of any of several guides we've had in Scotland - clearly enunciated, informative and entertaining. Right amount of time at each site. Extra stops at the Firth bridges and a farm for a hairy coo. Excellent day!

A great tour with a great and knowledgeable tour guide! He gave us so much interesting information about Scotland. I appreciate hearing the stories as we were driving. And the soundtrack of Scottish music playing while driving was awesome; a wonderful variety of familiar and unfamiliar tunes. The stops were well timed - interesting and allowed for bathroom breaks. The walk (little hike) at Loch Lomond allowed for a bit of an outdoor activity; it was beautiful! And Stirling castle was amazing. Three hours there was perfect! It was a great day!
