Edinburgh Päiväretket

Matkustin yksin päiväretkellä Glenfinnaniin, Glencoen alueelle ja Skotlannin ylängöille. Se oli erittäin nautinnollinen kokemus – ryhmämatkaan liittyminen tarjosi mukavan matkan, ammattitaitoisen kuljettajan ja informatiivisia esittelyjä jokaisen pysähdyksen historiasta. Arvostin kokemusta todella paljon, ja siitä on tullut unohtumaton osa yksinmatkaani. Suosittelisin tätä retkeä lämpimästi kaikille yksin matkustaville.

Oppaanani ja kuljettajanani päivän ajan oli Keith (26. toukokuuta). Valitsin Loch Nessin ja Ylämaiden kierroksen. Ajomatka oli erittäin informatiivinen ja opettavainen, ja pystyin arvostamaan Skotlannin ja Ylämaiden historiaa. Alueet, joissa kävimme, ja luonto olivat myös kauniita. Ajomatka tuntui turvalliselta, ja pystyin myös nauttimaan maisemista matkan varrella.

The arrangements were nearly perfect. Originally, we had difficulty getting entry tickets to Edinburgh Castle on their official website. While most travel agencies no longer have tickets for the day, we managed to get ours on Klook. The QR code was issued in less than a minute. The waiting place was convenient and the tour guide, Ignas, was easily identifiable. Yet, Ignas spoke with a very strong Scottish accent, which made it not always easy to follow. So, although he was very knowledgeable and helpful, the details of the description were not always fully understood. Nevertheless, the view at and from the castle was magnificent. Even though the path looked very steep and far from the city centre, it wasn’t difficult to get there. The rooms were definitely worth visiting. The souvenir shop also sold gifts that were exclusive to the castle. we also met the Queen and King James for a lovely photo. I would definitely recommend this visit.

The Old Town and Underground Ghost Tour in Edinburgh was a really enjoyable experience, mainly because of the tour guide, James Douglas. He was extremely active, social, funny, and knew exactly how to keep everyone engaged. His sense of humor made the time fly by. Honestly, during all my travels, I have never had a tour guide this entertaining and energetic. He was genuinely very good at what he does, and it made the whole experience much better. I was expecting a little more from the tour itself besides walking around the city and visiting the underground tunnel area, but I still learned a lot about Edinburgh’s history and its magnificent architecture. Big thanks to James Douglas for the wonderful time and positive energy throughout the tour. Definitely one of the most memorable guides I’ve had during my travels.

Hauska ja opettavainen matka. Tom on erittäin viihdyttävä tarinankertoja. Opin paljon Skotlannin historiasta matkan varrella. Pysähdyimme monissa luonnonkauniissa paikoissa. Erinomainen retki. Suosittelen 100-prosenttisesti kaikille!

it was an amazing tour. David was a fantastic guide with good knowledge of the locations. He also share some history.

Hauska kiertue, matka oli pitkä mutta ei uuvuttava eikä tylsä. Kaikki kohteet saatiin hoidettua suunnitelmien mukaan, ja lopussa oli jopa lisäkäynti karvaisilla lehmillä, koska emme ehtineet ottaa kuvia alussa kiertueen aikana ostosten vuoksi. Hinta oli kilpailukykyinen ja kiertuetiimi ammattitaitoinen. Hyvä kokemus.

Compliments to our driver/guide Kevin for a safe drive and highly entertaining day. His experience and familiarity of the roads allowed many more photo stops than anticipated. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Kevin. It felt warm to be back despite the cold…

Rory our guide was knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. He knew every minute detail about the Location covered are all nearby so you won't get tired at all.
