Itinerario

Retrocede en el tiempo y métete en la piel de quienes caminaron antes que nosotros hace cientos de años mientras nos adentramos en la rica historia de Escocia y exploramos castillos medievales, pueblos y mucho más. Déjate sorprender por la infinita belleza natural de Escocia y mézclate con los lugareños de sus vibrantes ciudades en esta excursión en grupo reducido que recorre Edimburgo, Inverness, la isla de Skye, Fort William y Glasgow.

Programa del tour

Día 1

Edimburgo

Bienvenido a la impresionante Escocia y a su encantadora capital, Edimburgo. Con una historia que abarca aproximadamente 12.000 años, Escocia presume de una historia increíblemente rica, compleja y totalmente fascinante. Desde las invasiones romanas hasta los inconquistables nativos caledonios, pasando por los clanes historiados de las Tierras Altas, cada periodo ha tejido un hilo único en el vibrante tejido de la historia, la cultura y las tradiciones escocesas.

Nombrada regularmente una de las ciudades más bellas del mundo, Edimburgo es un destino único impregnado de historia. Edimburgo es la capital de Escocia desde 1437 y es una maravillosa combinación de lo antiguo y lo nuevo, con edificios medievales que bordean las animadas calles de la ciudad, lo que la convierte en una ciudad ideal tanto para los lugareños como para los visitantes.

No queremos que te pierdas ningún aspecto de tu viaje en grupo reducido. Para asegurarnos de que no sea así, te recomendamos que llegues a tu destino de partida antes de las 15:00.

Comenzaremos nuestra aventura escocesa con un recorrido a pie para familiarizarnos con la ciudad. Empezaremos paseando por Greyfrairs, un infame cementerio que rodea Greyfrairs Kirk, situado en el extremo sur del casco antiguo. A continuación, pasearemos por la histórica calle Victoria, hogar de edificios de formas inusuales y tiendas estrafalarias, antes de dirigirnos al Grassmarket, enclavado en el corazón del casco antiguo de Edimburgo.

Esta noche disfrutaremos de una deliciosa cena de bienvenida en grupo en un restaurante local.

Punto de partida

166 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, EH3 9RX, United Kingdom

14:00 - 15:00

Día 2

Edimburgo - St. Andrews - Orcadas

Esta mañana, diremos adiós a la encantadora Edimburgo y emprenderemos un pintoresco viaje hacia el norte. Empezaremos cruzando el estuario del Forth, donde el Mar del Norte se encuentra con Escocia, y luego serpentearemos por las onduladas colinas y los pueblos de cuento de Fife. Las vistas son realmente especiales, ¡ten preparadas las cámaras!


Nuestra primera parada es la histórica ciudad costera de St. Andrews. Conocida como la cuna del golf, también es rica en encanto medieval. Disfrutaremos de un suave paseo pasando por algunos de los lugares más emblemáticos de la ciudad, como las grandiosas ruinas de la catedral de St. Andrews y su poderoso castillo, que en su día fue un centro de poder religioso y destino de peregrinos de toda Europa.


A continuación, continuaremos hacia el pueblo de Glamis, una pequeña ciudad con una gran historia. Se dice que inspiró la obra de Shakespeare "Macbeth" y alberga el magnífico castillo de Glamis, que visitaremos. Como hogar de la infancia de la reina Isabel, la Reina Madre, el castillo está lleno de conexiones reales y susurros fantasmales, lo que lo convierte en un lugar lleno de leyendas.


Después de algo de tiempo libre para almorzar, nos dirigiremos a Aberdeen para tomar el ferry que cruza Pentland Firth hasta Orkney, un archipiélago de belleza salvaje y rica herencia nórdica. Ten en cuenta que se trata de un viaje largo, y que llegaremos a nuestro alojamiento a última hora de la tarde.


(Desayuno)

Día 3

Orkney

¡Bienvenido a la hermosa Kirkwall! Esta fascinante ciudad no tiene historia gaélica y fue el antiguo emplazamiento de una ciudad nórdica hace miles de años -el propio nombre de la ciudad deriva del nombre nórdico, Kirkjuvágr-. Aquí encontrarás una ciudad encantadora que abraza la costa y una plétora de lugares históricos.


Disfruta de la mañana libre para explorar Kirkwall a tu ritmo, o simplemente para relajarte y contemplar el paisaje de la isla.


Comenzaremos nuestro recorrido por Kirkwall con una visita al Palacio del Obispo y al Palacio del Conde, donde nos sumergiremos en las ruinas de dos notables residencias. Construido a principios del siglo XI, el Palacio Episcopal medieval es un lugar repleto de historia, incluido el lugar donde murió el rey Hakon de Noruega tras la batalla con los escoceses en Largs en 1263. Al otro lado de la carretera está el Palacio del Conde, construido en 1606 por Patrick, conde de Orkney. Construido con la intención de impresionar con su palacio renacentista, este grandioso lugar incorporó el Palacio Episcopal al complejo mayor.


A continuación, continuaremos hacia Lamb Holm, una isla deshabitada de las Orcadas. Mientras estemos aquí, descubriremos las Barreras de Churchill. Varias calzadas que en su día se utilizaron para bloquear los accesos orientales al fondeadero naval de Scapa Flow, ahora sirven de enlaces vitales entre islas y comunidades. También visitaremos la Capilla Italiana, una capilla católica muy ornamentada construida por prisioneros de guerra italianos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.


(Desayuno)

Día 4

Orcadas - Thurso

Nuestro día comienza explorando algunos de los mejores tesoros arqueológicos de las Orcadas, Skara Brae y las Piedras Erguidas de Stenness. Estos dos yacimientos prehistóricos se encuentran entre las cuatro piedras angulares del Sitio Patrimonio de la Humanidad Corazón de las Orcadas Neolíticas de la UNESCO, y una visita aquí es realmente como si hubiéramos dado un salto de 5.000 años atrás en la historia.


Situado cerca de una hermosa playa, Skara Brae fue descubierto por una tormenta en 1850, y el yacimiento ofrece una imagen increíble de cómo era la vida cotidiana en las Orcadas hace tantos miles de años.


Experiencia especial

Descubre las antiguas Piedras Erguidas de Stenness, una estructura megalítica más antigua que Stonehenge.


Quedan cuatro piedras en las Piedras Erguidas de Stenness, donde originalmente se alzaban doce piedras. Centradas en un gran hogar en el centro, ¡algunas de estas piedras alcanzan la notable altura de seis metros!


Continuamos hacia Broch of Gurness, un asentamiento de la Edad de Hierro que en su día fue poderoso, donde un pequeño pueblo está dispuesto alrededor de los restos de una torre broch. Un broch es una estructura de paredes huecas de piedra seca que era común en Escocia durante la Edad de Hierro, y el que veremos en Gurness es de tamaño considerable, pues mide unos 20 metros de diámetro. También visitaremos el Brough de Birsay, una isla que alberga los restos de un asentamiento picto, ¡así como estructuras nórdicas y vikingas! Su ubicación única también es fascinante. Al ser una isla mareal, sólo se puede acceder a ella durante dos horas a cada lado de la marea baja, ¡y está conectada por una calzada que es visible cuando el agua se retira!


Esta tarde, nos despedimos de la impresionante Kirkwall y de las Orcadas mientras nuestra aventura escocesa nos lleva de vuelta al continente. Al llegar en ferry al puerto de Scrabster, nos trasladaremos a nuestro alojamiento en Thurso, ¡nuestro hogar para esta noche!


(Desayuno, Cena)

Día 5

Thurso - Ullapool

Esta mañana, después de desayunar, nos pondremos en camino hacia Dunnet Head, una península de Caithness, en la costa norte de Escocia. Un lugar famoso por ser el punto más septentrional de la Gran Bretaña continental, donde nos maravillaremos con el bonito faro y las increíbles vistas de 360 grados de los acantilados y el mar. Mantén los ojos bien abiertos, ¡puede que incluso veas al escurridizo frailecillo!


Desde Dunnet Head, nos embarcaremos en un viaje increíblemente hermoso por parte de la North Coast 500, la ruta panorámica más útil de Escocia. Esta ruta tiene algo más de 800 km y te lleva por paisajes costeros, montañas escarpadas y pueblos encantadores. Hoy conduciremos por el tramo noroeste de esta preciosa ruta hasta Ullapool, haciendo varias paradas fotográficas por el camino. Asegúrate de que tu cámara está cargada, ¡te garantizamos que la necesitarás!


(Desayuno, Cena)

Día 6

Ullapool - Culloden - Inverness

Hoy, nuestro viaje nos lleva a la ciudad de Inverness. Conocida como la capital de las Highlands, esta bonita ciudad cosmopolita está situada a orillas del río Ness. Inverness alberga increíbles paisajes naturales, pintorescos pueblos y multitud de ruinas medievales y yacimientos prehistóricos.


Saliendo de Ullapool esta mañana, nuestra primera parada del día es el Campo de Batalla de Culloden. El Campo de Batalla de Culloden marca el lugar donde el ejército jacobita fue derrotado en 1746. Aprenderemos sobre la Batalla de Culloden y rendiremos homenaje a los hombres que perdieron trágicamente la vida en el último levantamiento jacobita.


Experiencia especial

Prueba la gota local en la Destilería Glen Moray. Fundada en 1897, visitamos la destilería de whisky y aprendemos sobre la bebida escocesa por excelencia.


Esta tarde, en Inverness, nos embarcaremos en un recorrido a pie para familiarizarnos con esta hermosa ciudad. Pasaremos por el Castillo de Inverness y admiraremos su arquitectura antes de ver el Mercado Victoriano, la Catedral de San Andrés de estilo gótico, Falcon Square, Tollbooth Steeple e Inverness Town House.


(Desayuno)

Día 7

Inverness - Lago Ness - Isla de Skye

Esta mañana, disfrutaremos de un corto trayecto en coche por las pintorescas orillas del lago Ness, en dirección a Drumnadrochit. Aquí visitaremos el castillo de Urquhart, uno de los mayores y más históricos de Escocia, con vistas panorámicas sobre el lago. Las ruinas del castillo datan de 1509 y ofrecen una visión del pasado medieval de Escocia.


A continuación, nos dirigiremos a Dornie, donde nos detendremos para hacernos una foto en el emblemático castillo de Eilean Donan. Situado maravillosamente en una pequeña isla, este castillo es uno de los lugares más fotografiados de Escocia, ¡así que no olvides tu cámara!


A continuación, encontraremos un lugar donde pasar un rato libre para relajarnos y disfrutar de un almuerzo tranquilo. Quizá puedas probar un plato tradicional de Cullen Skink, una sustanciosa sopa escocesa de pescado, o un sabroso pastel escocés en uno de los cafés locales del lago.


Por último, nos dirigiremos a la isla de Skye, y al registrarnos en nuestro hotel nos deleitaremos con una cena en grupo.


(Desayuno, Cena)

Día 8

Isla de Skye

Ten tus cámaras cargadas mientras pasamos el día descubriendo más de lo que la isla de Skye tiene que ofrecer. Empezaremos el día con una rápida parada en el pequeño pueblo de Sligachan para contemplar la majestuosa cordillera de las Colinas Negras de Cuillin. Continuamos para visitar el emblemático Old Man of Storr y Kilt Rock, seguidos de un corto y pintoresco paseo costero por la ruta de senderismo de Quiraing -

prepárate para quedar hipnotizado por los impresionantes acantilados y las llamativas formaciones rocosas, que ofrecen increíbles oportunidades fotográficas y vistas inolvidables.


Continuando por la pintoresca península de Trotternish, llegaremos al Museo de la Vida Insular de Skye. Aquí retrocederemos en el tiempo y exploraremos un antiguo pueblo de las Highlands y sus tradicionales casitas de paja para conocer la vida que llevaban los lugareños hace 100 años. Nuestra última parada del día es Dunvegan, donde visitaremos el Castillo y los Jardines de Dunvegan. Este histórico castillo está considerado el más antiguo de Escocia habitado ininterrumpidamente, y ha sido el hogar ancestral de los jefes del clan MacLeod durante más de 800 años.


Por la tarde, regresaremos al hotel.


Día desafiante

Hoy es un día especialmente exigente, en el que habrá largos periodos de caminata, a menudo por terreno irregular y en zonas de gran altitud o calor y humedad.


(Desayuno)

Día 9

Isla de Skye - Fort William - Oban

Esta mañana, nos despediremos de la hermosa Isla de Skye y comenzaremos nuestro viaje de regreso a tierra firme con un pintoresco trayecto en ferry desde Armadale a Mallaig. Mantén los ojos bien abiertos en el agua, ¡a veces a las aves marinas y a las focas les gusta acompañarnos en el viaje!


De vuelta a tierra, pasaremos por Glenfinnan. Aquí, intentaremos ver el famoso viaducto de Glenfinnan a nuestro paso, una vista impresionante que resulta aún más mágica por su aparición estelar en las películas de Harry Potter. Puede que lo reconozcas como la ruta del Expreso de Hogwarts, que se curva con gracia a través de las Tierras Altas.


A continuación, nos detendremos en Fort William, una bulliciosa ciudad de las Highlands escondida bajo el imponente Ben Nevis, la montaña más alta del Reino Unido. Luego continuaremos hacia Torlundy y la cordillera Nevis, donde nos espera la única telecabina de montaña del Reino Unido.


Experiencia especial

Sube a la única góndola de montaña del Reino Unido para disfrutar de impresionantes vistas aéreas de las Tierras Altas, ascendiendo hasta el Aonach Mor de Escocia.


Esta tarde, nuestra aventura nos lleva a la pintoresca ciudad de Oban, que significa "Pequeña Bahía" en gaélico. Enclavada en la costa oeste, Oban está rodeada de dramáticas costas, un pintoresco puerto y una exuberante campiña. A menudo llamada la "Capital del Marisco de Escocia", esta acogedora ciudad es conocida por su pesca fresca diaria, lo que la convierte en un paraíso tanto para los amantes de la comida como para los paseantes costeros.


(Desayuno, Cena)

Día 10

Oban - Loch Lomond - Glasgow

Hoy nuestros ojos están puestos en llegar a la vibrante ciudad de Glasgow, la mayor y más poblada de Escocia. Ciudad portuaria situada a orillas del río Clyde, este precioso destino recibe a los visitantes con los brazos abiertos y alberga una gran riqueza de carácter, una rica historia y barrios únicos.


Esta mañana nos dirigiremos a Glasgow atravesando el Parque Nacional de los Trossachs, con parada en Loch Lomond. También pasaremos por el emblemático castillo de Inveraray, también conocido como castillo de Duneagle en la popular serie Downton Abbey.


Experiencia especial

Nos esperan paisajes increíbles en el Parque Nacional de los Trossachs, donde navegaremos por las vastas aguas de Loch Lomond admirando su espectacular belleza natural.


Tendremos tiempo libre para almorzar, antes de continuar hacia Glasgow. Al llegar nos registraremos en nuestro hotel y tendremos tiempo para refrescarnos antes de disfrutar de una cena de despedida en grupo en un restaurante local.


(Desayuno, Cena)

Día 11

Glasgow

Nuestra excursión concluye esta mañana después del desayuno. Nos despediremos de nuestros nuevos amigos y de la maravillosa Escocia.

­ 

You agree that the deductions and cancellation charges specified above are reasonable, represent a genuine pre-estimate of our loss and are required to protect our legitimate business interests.

­ 

ILLNESS OR VACCINATION STATUS PREVENTING TRAVEL  

If due to any illness, suspected illness or failure to satisfy any required tests (such as a PCR or rapid antigen test in relation to Covid-19) or country specific vaccination requirements: 

­ 

an airline or other common carrier refuses you carriage;

a hotel or vessel refuses to accommodate you; or

we or our suppliers (acting reasonably) exclude you from the trip

and you are consequently prevented from commencing or continuing your trip, then:

­ 

if you have already commenced your trip, we will provide you with reasonable assistance to arrange alternative travel arrangements or to continue the trip. This will be at your cost.

if you have not commenced your trip then we regret we will not be in a position to provide such assistance.

We will not be liable to refund the cost of your trip (or any part of it) because we would have already paid (or committed to pay) suppliers and we would have already performed significant work preparing for the delivery of your trip and servicing your booking. 

­ 

We will not be responsible for any other loss or loss you incur in connection with your booking (for example, airfares and visa expenses) if you are prevented from commencing or continuing your trip in these circumstances.

­ 

CANCELLATIONS OR RESCHEDULING BY US

In these Booking Conditions, the term Force Majeure means an event or events beyond our control and which we could not have reasonably prevented, and includes but is not limited to: (a) natural disasters (including not limited to flooding, fire, earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption), adverse weather conditions (including hurricane or cyclone), high or low water levels; (b) war, armed conflict, industrial dispute, civil strife, terrorist activity or the threat of such acts; epidemic, pandemic; (d) any new or change in law, order, decree, rule or regulation of any government authority (including travel advisories and restrictions).

­ 

Force Majeure – Prior to travel

­ 

If in our reasonable opinion we (either directly or through our employees, contractors, suppliers or agents) consider that your travel arrangements cannot safely or lawfully proceed due to a Force Majeure Event then we at our discretion may elect to:

­ 

reschedule your travel arrangements (in whole or in part); and/or

cancel your travel arrangements (in whole or in part), in which case our contract with you will terminate (in whole or in part).

If we cancel any of your travel arrangements, neither of us will have any claim for damages against the other for the cancelled arrangements. However, we will refund payments attributable to the cancelled travel arrangements less: (a) unrecoverable third party costs and other expenses incurred by us for the cancelled travel arrangements; (b) overhead charges incurred by us relative to the price of the cancelled travel arrangements; and (c) fair compensation for work undertaken by us in relation to the cancelled travel arrangements until the time of cancellation and in connection with the processing of any refund.

­ 

Force Majeure – During travel

­ 

If due to Force Majeure we cancel travel arrangements after your trip has commenced, we will provide you with a refund of recoverable third party costs for cancelled travel arrangements only.

­ 

Force Majeure – General

­ 

If we provide you with any alternative services or assistance where travel arrangements are cancelled or rescheduled due to Force Majeure, then you agree the amount to be refunded to you will be reduced by the value of these services and assistance.

­ 

You acknowledge that the terms in this section are reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate business interests. We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance that adequately responds to cancellation and rescheduling risks associated with Force Majeure events.

­ 

Other cancellations

­ 

If we cancel your travel arrangements for reasons other than Force Majeure, you will be offered (at your election) a refund of all funds paid, or the offer of a trip of substantially equal quality if appropriate.

­ 

We will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur if your travel arrangements are rescheduled or cancelled whether or not due to Force Majeure.

­ 

AMENDMENTS BY YOU

We will endeavour to accommodate amendments and additional requests. You acknowledge that these may not be possible to fulfil, and for group departures a transfer of a booking to a different departure is deemed a cancellation. An amendment fee of $250.00 per booking will be levied to cover communication and administration costs for any changes to bookings. You will also be required to pay any additional costs charged by suppliers.

­ 

AMENDMENTS BY US

Prior to travel

­ 

Occasionally, we may need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary and its inclusions and you acknowledge our right to do this. If we become aware of a significant change to your itinerary or its inclusions prior to the commencement of your trip (where the trip can still proceed), then we will notify you within a reasonable time.

­ 

During travel

­ 

You acknowledge that the itinerary, modes of transport, accommodation and/or the trip’s inclusions may need to change during your trip due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including road conditions, poor weather, changes in transport schedules, and/or vehicle breakdowns.

If you are not fully and validly vaccinated against Covid-19 in the destination(s) where services are to be provided, and particular suppliers refuse to provide you with travel arrangements, then you agree you will not be entitled to any refund for those arrangements. We will not be responsible to you for any loss or expenses you incur (including loss of enjoyment or the costs of alternative arrangements) if you are denied services in these circumstances.

­ 

CLIENT NAMES – EXACTLY AS PER PASSPORT

For security reasons, airlines and our overseas suppliers require names to be given exactly as stated in your passport. If you do not advise the correct information and we have to re-issue airline tickets or other documentation, then you will be responsible for any fees charged (such as airline cancellation charges or re-issue fees) in addition to our own reasonable administration fees.

­ 

TRAVEL INSURANCE

It is a condition of your booking that you are adequately insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage, repatriations and additional expenses. The choice of insurer is yours. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your deposit. This is because cancellation fees and charges are payable from that time.

­ 

ACCOMMODATION

We reserve the right to substitute hotels, vessels and other forms of accommodation with properties or vessels of a comparable or higher standard.

­ 

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Special dietary requests are required to be notified to us at the time of booking. Although we will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee requests will be met by suppliers. It is your responsibility to check that meals and beverages do not contain any allergens. We expressly disclaim any liability for meals or beverages that contain allergens.

­ 

PASSPORTS, VISAS

It is a requirement that you hold a valid passport and any required visas for your trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of the necessary documentation to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries to be visited.

­ 

AUTHORITY ON TOUR

When joining a group tour, you undertake to conduct yourself in a manner conducive to good group dynamics. If you act in a manner that threatens or disrupts the safety or enjoyment of others on the tour, the tour leader may, acting reasonably, require that you leave the tour. You will not be entitled to any refund for unused services and you will be responsible for any additional costs you incur.

­ 

VACCINATIONS

In some countries, it may be mandatory for you to be fully and validly vaccinated against COVID-19 with a vaccine approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. 

­ 

If you fail to provide evidence of vaccination by the time required, then you acknowledge and agree that this will be deemed a cancellation by yourself. Please refer to the “Cancellation by You” section above.

­ 

It is your responsibility to obtain vaccinations and preventative medicines as may be required for the duration of the trip. Any information provided by us is given in good faith.

FITNESS TO TRAVEL DECLARATION

At Bunnik Tours, we pride ourselves on our ability to create unique, once in a lifetime small group tours that are filled with incredible experiences you might not be able to have on your own, or in a larger group. However, that does mean aspects of our itineraries can be challenging for some travellers.

­ 

We want to make sure all Bunnik Tours travellers enjoy their trip, not struggle through it, so let’s work together to ensure you’re on the right tour for your fitness level.

­ 

A Bunnik Tour is for independently minded travellers with good levels of mobility. Designed for the not too young and not too old, we don’t put specific age limits on our tours but we do impose a firm policy on the level of fitness required by all our clients. This is to ensure your safety, and the safety of other travellers. Because of this, we reserve the right to refuse bookings if we feel that the requirements of the tour are too demanding.

­ 

Fitness to Travel Requirements

­ 

Within seven days of your booking, you will need to complete a Passenger Registration form, which also includes a fitness to travel declaration.

­ 

In this declaration, you must confirm you’re able to do the following:

­ 

Walk for a minimum of 2-3 hours daily, on uneven surfaces without the use of any walking aid at a group pace (often in humid forest areas in Africa and South & Central America)

Regularly walk up multiple flights of stairs and short, steep hills

Stand for extended periods of time without needing to sit down, including in hot/humid climates

Carry your own luggage

Get on and off various modes of transport without assistance, including small boats

Drive along very bumpy, dirt and gravel roads for extended period of time, particularly in Africa

Manage extended periods of time at high altitude (3,000-4,000 metres) when travelling in Africa and South & Central America.

It is also important to note there can be limited medical facilities in remote areas.

­ 

While we will still confirm your place on your tour, flight tickets cannot be issued until the Passenger Registration form has been received. Additional costs may be incurred if completed forms are not received by Bunnik Tours within these time frames.

­ 

If you do not feel that you can confidently manage all of the requirements set out above, please work with our team of Travel Specialists to find an alternative that is better suited to your current level of fitness.

­ 

Travelling With a Medical Condition

­ 

Passengers must inform us and the service provider of any medical conditions which may affect your ability to participate in the tour.

­ 

At our discretion we, including the service provider, can exclude you from a tour or in any activity if we consider that you are unable to safely participate in that tour or activity or if we consider your participation may place the safety of other guests at risk. 

­ 

We reserve the right to cancel your booking if any changed or non-disclosed medical conditions mean that you will require special assistance from our personnel which we cannot reasonably provide. We strongly suggest that your travel insurance policy includes comprehensive cancellation coverage.

­ 

We will not be liable for any damage, injury, death or loss of any kind arising from your failure to fully disclose relevant medical information or resulting from any pre-existing medical condition.
