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
Take a bold leap into Scotland’s cultural life right at the start of your 21-day tour. Edinburgh is a museum-goer’s dream. Discover the country’s heritage in the National Galleries of Scotland, from classics to modern art.
Become a child again at the Childhood Museum or immerse yourself in the exciting collections of the Edinburgh Museum. Between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood House, take the Royal Mile past the Scottish Parliament, John Knox House and St Giles Cathedral. On the way, you can have your senses twisted in the World of Illusions and enter The Hub, one of the city’s most fascinating theatres in a former church.
If you leave the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh in a hire car, you will also be heading towards one of Scotland’s great modern legends: Rosslyn Chapel. The picturesque church has fascinated ghosts such as Robert Burns and Queen Victoria and has been world-famous since Dan Brown’s novel “Sacrilege”.
Experience nature
Discover an ancient landscape in a surprisingly mild climate on the Inner Hebrides. The Fossil Tree on Mull, for example, a rock formation in which you can rediscover life millions of years ago on closer inspection, shows you just how old this archipelago really is.
The menhirs and early stone buildings of the first settlers on the archipelago, on the other hand, are almost as recent. On this 21-day round trip through Scotland, you will also find fascinating phenomena on Skye that were created by the forces of the earth’s interior. Marvel at mighty cliffs, imposing pinnacles and almost bizarre pillars.
Particularly impressive is the “Old Man of Storr”, a huge rock needle that rises far above the barren, green land. Perhaps this extraordinary landscape will tempt you to go island hopping – to discover each individual island with its very own character.
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
Have you ever been on a safari in Europe? If not, you have the opportunity to do so on this 21-day round trip through Scotland. On the individual guided tour with your personal kilted safari ranger, you will explore the secrets of the Perthshire Highlands and can choose exactly what you want to see and experience.
