What we adjust
Shorter driving legs, more frequent stops, viewpoints reachable from the car park rather than after a climb, and a rest afternoon mid-trip with nothing scheduled. None of this costs extra, but tell us at booking rather than on day three.
Sites to approach carefully
Edinburgh Castle involves a steep cobbled approach (there is a courtesy vehicle for visitors who need it). Arthur's Seat is a hill walk. The Royal Mile descends steeply and the closes off it are steps. York's walls involve stairs. We have alternatives for each.
What children can take
Two hours is a child's realistic limit before it becomes difficult. We break longer legs with stops that are activities rather than viewpoints. Infant carriers, toddler seats and boosters are provided free, but we need ages and weights at booking.
Three generations
Grandparents want to sit and look; children want to run. A viewpoint that satisfies one bores the other. We choose stops that work for both rather than alternating and disappointing everyone equally. Six people means two vehicles — which also lets the generations split when they want to.
Facilities
On some Highland stretches there is nothing for forty miles, and village toilets may be seasonal or closed. With elderly guests or young children we shorten the gaps between stops. It changes the route slightly and makes the day considerably easier.
每日实际车程有几长
多数路段实际车程两至三个钟,中间有停留。十日环岛最长那日大约四个钟,我们会用一顿正经午餐分隔开,而不是高速公路服务区。大约每九十分钟停一次——有些是观景点,有些纯粹因为有人想饮杯咖啡。高地公路要特别留意:地图估两个钟,实际接近三个钟。
为什么路线这么排
地理决定次序,和他对著干只会浪费日数。由爱丁堡出发,合理动线是南下经约克、曼彻斯特,到达剑桥和伦敦,再经湖区北返。全程不走回头路,每日车程控制在四个钟内,而且最后返到爱丁堡——同一个机场离境,不用买单程机票返伦敦。
我们不会做的嘢
我们不会迫你入有佣金的商店或者餐厅。不会在你未问之前加项目再收钱。不会话一间我们没有住过的酒店好。如果你的计划日数不够、或者自驾对你来说其实更抵、又或者小团游更适合你,我们会直接说——就算这样会少做一单。
