Geotoura - Hotel concept
When we include a hotel in our programme, it is not only a high standard of quality that is important to us. We prefer typical local accommodation, often boutique hotels with a special ambience. They emphasise the character of an individual trip: Panoramic views, particularly lovely furnishings, location in historic centres, no mass tourism and, of course, exceptionally friendly hosts – these are important criteria for us.
We categorise our accommodation in the British Isles into four separate Geotoura categories. Of course, you have the choice and can also combine the categories on one trip.
Boutique Hotels - Four categories
Encantador (‘Charming’): Privately run bed & breakfast guesthouses with a small number of cosy rooms and a lovingly prepared breakfast.
Especial (‘Special’): Enjoy stylish interiors and comfort in the mostly family-run boutique hotels with historic charm. Stay in the city centre or in beautiful natural surroundings.
Extraordinario (‘Extraordinary’): Centuries-old buildings, such as historic manor houses or castles, sometimes also modern design hotels with special architecture. Usually equipped with a restaurant, bar or spa area.
Luna de Miel (‘honeymoon’): For your honeymoon – or if you want to treat yourself to something out of the ordinary …
Character of this travel idea
Experience culture
“Edinburgh” means “the fortress on the hill”. However, the city is actually built on seven hills. Here you can stroll along the Royal Mile, relax in the Princess Street Gardens of Edinburgh Castle or enjoy the beautiful Renaissance building of Holyrood House.
And of course you can celebrate in Edinburgh, which is not considered a festival metropolis for nothing. But you can also discover the city from below. In a small, unassuming hut is the entrance to Gilmerton Cove, a labyrinth of chambers and passageways that have been running under the city since the 17th or 18th century.
On this 14-day round trip through Scotland, you will also find something surprising in Oban. The Roman coliseum towers over the harbour town as if it had been transported out of space, overlooking a picturesque landscape with many castles and a town with small galleries, regional distilleries and excellent gastronomy.
Experience nature
When visiting Scotland, a loch is practically a must-see. So say hello to Nessi at the famous Loch Ness and enjoy this quintessentially Scottish backdrop of green mountain slopes and black depths. Not as famous, but at least as fascinating is another loch on this 14-day round trip through Scotland: Loch Lomond.
As you stand in the tranquillity of this landscape by the wide expanse of water, you will see the very landscape that inspired the historian Murray G. H. Pittock to write the song “The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond” and that countless artists still sing about today. You might even find yourself humming along while you wander through this picturesque landscape.
Scotland culinary delights
Scotland is not only famous for its cuisine. It is also notorious for some dishes. This certainly includes haggis, in which the heart, lungs and liver of sheep are processed. But perhaps you would prefer to try another classic: salmon. The Scots prepare it in countless variations. Many a small family restaurant has its own traditional recipe. The tender Angus meat, which tastes particularly good when grilled, is also a fine choice. On your round trip through Scotland, the mince pie Scotch Pie, the Full Scottish Breakfast and the countless burger variations are all hearty options. We recommend fish’n’chips as a not-so-easy snack for a stroll through the city or by the sea – always with the original Mushy Peas. But the Scots are not only good at rich, savoury cuisine – they also make some irresistible sweet temptations. These clearly include Millionaire Shortbread, countless varieties of fudge, elaborate pies and cakes as well as cranachan, which combines traditional Scottish ingredients such as raspberries, whisky, honey and oats.
Speaking of whisky, of course we mustn’t forget it. After all, some of the world’s best whiskies come from Scotland, ranging from mild whiskies like Glenmorangie or Glengoyne to smoky flavours like Caol Ila. There are more than 120 distilleries across the country and some will let you in on the secrets of their fine spirits during a visit.
The authentic Scotland
You may not come across Nessi near Inverness, but you will definitely see the dolphins off the coast. Simply hop aboard the “Saorsa” and visit the family of bottlenose dolphins that live here in the Moray Firth. With a bit of luck, you may also spot harbour porpoises, grey seals, harbour seals and perhaps even the rare minke whale. This adventure is framed by the spectacular cliffs of the Moray Firth.
