Highlights

Leistungen

Ablauf

1. Embark on a boat cruise. Onboard the ship, you travel over the widest and deepest part of the loch and get a fine view of Urquhart Castle.

   1,5 Std.Eintritt inbegriffen

2. An ancient site of tombs, stone circles, and ruins. It may also have inspired the famous ‘time portal’ in the Outlander TV series.

   15 Min.

3. Culloden*: the location of the final Jacobite Rising. It’s an eerie, flat, tragic landscape that can put the history of Scotland into perspective. The interactive exhibition centre here really brings it all to life. In less than an hour, around 1,500 men died in this battle. Explore the battlefield and learn how this tragedy came to pass. *The battle itself lasted 45 mins so stop to reflect that (45 mins enough time for battlefield visit which is free but not exhibition which has an admission fee- also there is a café & toilets available free)

   45 Min.

• 5A Highland joy...

  A full day that really is worth the value...our tour guide Alan was knowledgeable, entertaining and allowed us time to get the most from a packed agenda. The little stop offs, the whisky store and, of course, the cruise on Loch Ness...which was stunning. Worth every penny

• 5Lovely Day in the Country

  Neil was a lovely guide and showed us all around. He shared interesting stories, and was very accommodating to our group. We had a smaller group so it was a very personalized trip. I would certainly recommend him again. I did not know that going to Loch Ness from Aberdeen was so far though and I would suggest taking that trip from Inverness if you will be based there.

• 4We had a good tour, I...

  We had a good tour, I don’t feel like the instructions for the meeting point were clear enough and I had to call to make sure I was in the right spot. I think since most people that are on these tours are not from the city, the tours should do a better job of describing the meeting point including address if possible. The tours should guide was very knowledgeable about Scotland history and the highlands. Stops were in remote Lizzy’s cations I wouldn’t have found on my own. Overall, I would recommend.

• 5Thanks very much, Darryl

  It was a last-minute decision to take the tour, rather than rent a vehicle, and I’m certainly glad I did. Darryl was our guide, and he was clearly a local who loved his job. He knew lots of little details that he tailored to his audience. He knew what to say when and how much. He knew where to stop and for how long. We had a diverse group, in terms of ages and background, but that didn’t faze him. He was driving along narrow roads with black ice always a possibility, but he kept it light and worry-free for us for 12 hours, which is quite a feat. Well done, sir… When we stopped for lunch and the restaurant said it would take a half-hour to serve our group — and two of his flock disappeared — our guide remained poised and polite… No worries… A great ambassador… Thanks very much…

• 5Great experience, worth the money!

  It was a lovely trip, Alan (or Allan?) our tour guide was a gem, entertaining us during the ride with little anecdotes and interesting (fun)facts and took really good care of us ♥ (And it seemed he really cared not just doing his job). He stopped at interesting spots (quite a lot of them like Carr-Bridge, Caledonian Battlefield, some impressive viaduct, Balnuaran of Clava, Craigellachie Bridge and more, even to pat Dougal and Hamish (2 highland cows - what sweeties). The boat ride on Loch Ness was also very nice especially because we were really lucky with the weather. Nessi though wasn't spotted :-). Unfortunately there isn't really enough time to explore more on your own but if you want that, you have to rent a car and do it on your own. All in all a very nice day out! Only minor "complain": Alan (or Allan - sorry that I can`t remember), please expand your playlist :-). I really do love the idea behind it, but hearing 500 miles 5 times is too much. It`s still in my head :-). Thanks for a great day!

About Aberdeen

Aberdeen is a granite city on Scotland's north-east coast, with a historic university, a fishing and oil port, beaches and castles in the countryside.

Aberdeen stands between the rivers Dee and Don on the North Sea, a city built of grey granite that glints with mica in the sun. Old Aberdeen, with its cobbled High Street, the crown tower of King's College chapel and St Machar's Cathedral, preserves a medieval university town, while Marischal College, a vast neo-Gothic granite frontage, looks over Broad Street. Footdee, a small fishing community of low cottages, sits by the harbour mouth.
