About This Tour
From under the watchful eye of Edinburgh Castle, we will make the way to the Kelpies at Helix Park, a striking art installation where passengers will have the chance to take photographs and get refreshments. From there we will travel through the Trossachs National Park to the village of Balloch and the shore of Loch Lomond. Here you will have the opportunity to take a scenic, guided cruise on Scotland's largest loch for an additional fee. Alternatively you can explore the village, take a stroll along the footpath that runs alongside the loch, or simply relax with an ice cream. After that it's off to Aberfoyle for lunch before continuing over the Duke's Pass through the National Park and make the way up to Stirling Castle, where you will have the chance to explore one of Scotland's most important historic castles for an additional fee. We will finally head back to Edinburgh, arriving just in time for people to head out for dinner at around 6.30pm.
