A propos de cette activités

Optez pour une excursion d'une journée au départ d'Édimbourg pour découvrir les Highlands d'Écosse et le célèbre Loch Ness. Commencez votre voyage en bus en vous dirigeant vers le nord depuis Édimbourg, en passant devant les sculptures impressionnantes des Kelpies et l'imposant château de Stirling. Passez à côté des Trossachs, traversez Rannoch Moor, et arrêtez-vous dans la spectaculaire Glen Coe, théâtre du terrible massacre de 1692. Passez par Fort William, l'une des plus grandes colonies des Highlands écossais, avant de traverser le Great Glen. Pendant ce temps, votre guide vous parlera des sites touristiques les plus importants et intéressants de la région.
Quand vous arrivez à Fort Augustus, un charmant village des Highlands sur les rives du célèbre Loch Ness, faites une petite promenade dans le village ou reposez-vous tout simplement au bord du canal calédonien. Profitez d'un pique-nique « goût de l'Écosse » produit localement et qui comprend une bouteille d'eau minérale écossaise, des sandwiches et des sablés. Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur la cuisine écossaise, votre guide peut vous orienter vers de bons cafés locaux pour des délices plus savoureux.
Vous avez également la possibilité de faire une croisière en bateau d'1 heure sur le loch (à vos frais). Découvrez les mystères du légendaire monstre Nessie sur un bateau construit sur mesure et spécialement conçu pour naviguer sur ce loch, équipé de la technologie d'imagerie sous-marine dernier cri, vous donnant une vue fascinante sur la faune et la flore sous la surface. Détendez-vous avec un café ou une bière au bar du bateau.
Votre voyage se poursuit devant le loch Laggan miroitant, puis sur le col de Drumochter, principal col de montagne reliant les Highlands d'Écosse du Nord et du Sud. En vous dirigeant vers le sud, passez par Perthshire Big Tree Country, rempli de forêts luxuriantes, de rivières et de montagnes, avant d'avoir une vue impressionnante sur le pont du Forth. Votre visite d'une journée au Loch Ness et dans les Highlands écossais se termine à Édimbourg vers 20:00.

We had the lovely Jo as our driver for the trip to the Highlands and Loch Ness. She was knowledgable and unlike other drivers (often who bore you with stories during a coach trip) she was very well spoken and entertaining. We had a fault on the coach, on our way back to Edinburgh, but she dealt with it very professionally, didn't alarm us and the problem was dealt with swiftly. My only suggestion would be that perhaps the stops could be at better locations. The last stop we had was in a town that had hardly any places open, so would be good to have another location, but I understand that isn't always be possible.

Even though it's a long drive to Loch Ness, the beauty of the highlands and the nice (and funny) information from the guide are worth it. We got lucky with great subby weather as well as a wonderful guide like Fiona. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

This is a day tour starting from Edinburgh and visiting Glencoe, Loch Ness. The 12-hour tour with Tour guide Michael was very enjoyable. Michael drove the bus most of the tour, but at the same time he was trying his best to inform travelers about Scotland. He had a very thorough knowledge of Scotland as a whole and added a funny explanation of the excessive city, castle, and even sheep as we move on. He was a very pleasant and passionate guide. Thanks to him, I got to know more about Scotland, which helped me greatly with my schedule in Edinburgh later. By the time the tour was over, he even recommended some restaurants and bars in Edinburgh. The Highland Tour with Michael was fun enough to invest a whole day of my three days in Edinburgh. and I am willing to rejoin if there is another Scottish tour with him.

Our tour guide/bus driver was Michael. He was personable, informative and a wonderful guide. Kept us informed, and even gave us extra info and picture stops since we were ahead of schedule. The tour itself was wonderful, would have loved to have more time at Loch Ness, but all in all, was able to enjoy all the aspects of the Scottish Highlands.

Loved the tour and the experience of the highlands. Tour guide was Glenn and he was awesome. Loved his Scottish music and his knowledge. I sat up front and talked his ear off. Great location to start and easy to find.

This was a great tour. Our tour guide Rick was excellent. Kept the long train to Loch Ness going with music and lots of history and information about Scotland. The views were amazing. The Highlands are a must see

Our party of 6 with adults, children and seniors had a very enjoyable trip with Calum as our driver/tour guide! Calum was funny, informative and kept us entertained on the long bus ride. Even though it was over 350 km of travels within 11 hours, we made a couple of quick stops on the way to Loch Ness and one stop on the way back to Edinburgh. The actual time at Loch Ness was about 1.5 hours. If you take the cruise, it may not offer a lot of time to walk around town and visit those cute shops. The lunch sandwich provided was quite good too, it came with a non-plastic bottle water and shortbread. I'd recommend Highland Explorer if you only have 1 day to see the Highlands. Hope you will get Calum too!
