You’ll depart Edinburgh in the morning and travel through Scotland's bustling central belt, across to Glasgow, the country’s largest city. From Glasgow, it’s on to Loch Lomond, the largest expanse of fresh water in the country. Stop at the conservation village of Luss for coffee and sightseeing. Head deep into the Highlands, traveling through breathtaking scenery, on this full-day tour. You’ll see Loch Awe, the longest of Scotland’s lakes, and countryside with a rich history. You’ll come to haunting Kilchurn Castle, historically a stronghold of the Campbell Clan, and the Pass of Brander, where Robert the Bruce had a notable victory. Enjoy lunch in Oban and then take time to explore this lovely Victorian seaside town. Climb up McCaig's Tower, take in the views of the islands of Mull and Kerrera, and try some of the freshest seafood you’ve ever tasted! On the way back to Edinburgh, you'll visit Inveraray, the seat of the Campbell Clan, with a stop for ice cream, homemade sweets, or cakes. Enjoy a coffee and take in the beauty of Loch Fyne.

Our driver & guide, Maj, was fantastic! Maj set the tone at once by making sure everyone was comfortable and engaged, and along the way shared his knowledge and experience of Scotland and the locations we visited. He introduced music with the traditional stories they were based on, and often they related to the history of the locations we were experiencing. I’ve been to the eastern Highlands a few times before but never the western side, and I loved it and learned a lot.

Bei der Buchung war ich etwas skeptisch, ob die Tour nicht zu groß ist für einen Tag. Denn was ich nicht wollte, war herumzuhetzen wie diese asiatischen Touristen, die einfach nur für ein Foto kurz aus dem Bus herausströmen und dann schnell wieder weiterfahren. Vorweg: Es war erfreulicherweise nicht so :-) Obwohl ich morgens am falschen Treffpunkt war (es gibt mehrere Cafè Nero in Edinburgh ;-) ) hat John (unser Guide/Fahrer) sich um mich gekümmert und auf gewartet bis ich auch da war. Wir fuhren zu fünft ab, in Glasgow kamen dann noch fünf weitere Personen dazu - insgesamt eine schöne Größe. John hat schon auf dem Weg nach Glasgow spannende Geschichten über Edinburgh und seine Ganoven erzählt und glänzte mit viel Wissen und Unterhaltungsfaktor. An jedem Zwischenstopp hatten wir ausreichend Zeit für Erkundungen auf eigene Faust (natürlich immer mit den besten Tipps von John "in petto"). Alles in allem, war es eine wunderschöne Tour, die ich jedem empfehlen kann! Danke "Lord John" :)

Weil unser Fahrer und Guide (Steven H.) sehr gut über schottische Geschichte und Legenden Bescheid wusste, war es für mich, die ich nicht zum ersten Mal in Schottland war, außerordentlich interessant und informativ. Die Auswahl der wirklich hübschen und nicht unbedingten Mainstream-Orte hat mir sehr gut gefallen.
