点评:I went on a Walk Wild Scotland tour (Southern Highlands and West Highland Way) in May with Pauline as guide. I couldn't recommend this experience too highly.
The WWS guides are expert hikers and deeply knowledgeable about the routes, places and history of the area we walk in.
As a solo tourist, walking and staying with a small group of international tourists was also a great experience.
Unlike the packages offered for walking inn-to-inn along the West Highland way, on this tour we stayed in one place (the Black Bull Inn, Gartmore) and drove to a different trailhead each morning. The daily hikes were sometimes segments of the West Highland Way and other times were little known trails known to our guide.
Ferry rides, Doune Castle, a romantic island and pub/cafe/ice cream stops were also part of the experience!
(The Black Bull inn, a community run pub, was a huge plus, as well. It was a wonderful place to stay and I'll definitely be back if I return to Scotland!)
WWS provide lunch, delicious snacks (you have probably never experienced a Tunnocks Teacake if you aren't Scots) and good conversation to go with the stunning scenery and historical sites.
Definitely put this company and their tours on your bucket list.
翻译:五月份我参加了Walk Wild Scotland的徒步之旅(南部高地和西高地徒步道),导游是Pauline。我强烈推荐这次体验。
WWS的导游都是经验丰富的徒步者,对我们徒步区域的路线、景点和历史都非常了解。
作为一名独自旅行的游客,能和一小群国际游客一起徒步和住宿,也是一次很棒的经历。
与西高地徒步道上常见的“旅馆到旅馆”的行程不同,这次旅行我们住在同一个地方(加特莫尔的黑牛旅馆),每天早上驱车前往不同的徒步起点。每天的徒步路线有时是西高地徒步道的一部分,有时则是导游熟知的鲜为人知的小径。
乘坐渡轮、参观杜恩城堡、游览浪漫的小岛以及在酒吧/咖啡馆/冰淇淋店小憩,也都是这次旅行的精彩体验!
(黑牛客栈是一家社区经营的酒吧,也是一大亮点。住宿体验非常棒,如果我再去苏格兰,肯定还会住这里!)
WWS 提供午餐、美味小吃(如果你不是苏格兰人,可能从未尝过 Tunnocks 茶饼),还能一边欣赏迷人的风景和历史遗迹,一边与游客愉快交谈。
一定要把这家公司和他们的旅行团列入你的旅行清单。
