Itinéraire
Visitez le château de Stirling, découvrez l'histoire des rois et des reines, écoutez les récits de batailles et émerveillez-vous devant les terrains immaculés à l'intérieur des murs du château. Des pierres pavées et des vues sur la ville de Stirling, il est facile de comprendre pourquoi c'est un favori parmi les visiteurs.
Connue comme la porte d'entrée des Highlands, Callander est une très jolie ville touristique. Regorgeant de cafés, de boutiques de cadeaux – et bien sûr d'un fantastique magasin de whisky – le premier arrêt de cette visite vous préparera à tout ce qui vous attend. Vous pouvez également vous promener le long de la rivière Teith qui coule à la périphérie de la ville, offrant des vues spectaculaires sur Ben Ledi et les Craggs derrière la ville.
Peut-être l'une des plus belles routes d'Écosse, Dukes Pass vous mènera à travers les collines sinueuses des Trossachs.
Aberfoyle est un village pittoresque situé sur les rives de la rivière Forth, dans le magnifique parc forestier Queen Elizabeth.
Les belles rives du Loch Lomond sont vraiment un spectacle à voir. Autour du côté du loch se trouvent des montagnes imposantes et «The Ben» surplombant le Loch.
L'un des meilleurs endroits pour s'émerveiller devant les eaux du Loch Lomond, Balmaha est un endroit magnifique. Faites-vous prendre en photo à côté de la statue de Tom Weir avec son chapeau à pompon. Tom Weir est l'un des grimpeurs, présentateurs de télévision et auteurs écossais les plus célèbres. Il y a aussi un fantastique café si vous avez envie d'un petit café et d'un gâteau !

What a wonderful adventure to Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond with our tour guide Fraser! He was very passionate about Scotland and these sites. He provided us so much knowledge and history. We had a wonderful day! I am a travel advisor and will 100% recommend Hopscotch Travel (and Fraser) to my clients.
Thank you for your kind review - it was a pleasure to have hosted you and thank you for putting your trust in us (and Fraser). We greatly appreciate it.
What an amazing tour!! One we will cherish forever! Our guide Fraser McSorley was fantastic! Incredibly kind, funny, full of the deep history of Scotland, and created a custom music playlist after listening to our family history. The day was filled with sing songs in the car through our journey, feeding the hairy coos, and exploring what I believe to be the best Castle, Stirling Castle. The whole experience was a dream. The easy pick up and drop off at our hotel, to the bookings at amazing restaurants, and the rich history of Scotland shared a long the way was truly the best time of our trip. We will return and book with Hopscotch Travel.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We are so happy to hear you had a such a fantastic time and look forward to welcoming you again soon.
My sister and I had booked a private tour and transfer. Our driver and guide, Cattie, picked us up at our hotel in Edinburgh, took us to a stop at The Kelpies, then to Stirling Castle, then to Doune Castle, and finally to Balmaha before delivering us to our hotel in Glasgow. This was probably the best tour day I've ever had. Cattie was knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. She recommended a stop for lunch at a farm store and café. The lunch was awesome and they had baby coos outside which were just adorable. Stirling Castle is better than Edinburgh Castle so I'm really glad we got to see it. And Doune Castle was actually our favorite so far i think. In Balmaha, Cattie took us for a walk up a hill that had some lovely views from the top.
Thank you so much for your kind review - especially to learn it's your best tour ever! Glad we did a good job :-).
Fraser was amazing, very engaging and knowledgeable. Everything ran on time and the level of luxury was exactly what we paid for
Thank you for your kind review! We hope to welcome you back to Scotland again soon!
Phenomenal!!! Fraser was an amazing guide…the absolute best!! Hopscotch was top notch, on top of all details, coordination, and communication. We will always use them whenever we are in Scotland. Cannot say enough great things about our experience. Book Hopscotch and ask for Fraser to be your guide! Then just get ready for the best tour!?!
Thank you for your kind review and for a 2nd booking! Delighted you enjoyed your 1st tour enough to book another one with us. Safe onward travels.
Beautiful experience. Andrew Swain was brilliant and made the trip most enjoyable for us. This is a trip for a group of 7 friends and Andrew made it the most memorable for us. Thank you Hopscotch.
Thank you for leaving a lovely review. We are so happy to hear that you had a great time on your tour. We hope to see you again soon.
Loved Hopscotch Tour's flexibility to add a stop and for us to pick our lunch location. Communication was responsive pre-tour. Our guide, Fraser, was informative and personable.
Thank you for your kind review! We hope to welcome you back to Scotland soon.
Our trip to Sterling a d Loch was wonderful thanks to Fraser. We had a seamless adventure with great experiences and memories I'll treasure for a lifetime. Our youngest is 4 years old and Fraser made them feel engaged and included in the experience. He stopped to allow us to feed some Hilan Cows on the way to the Loch! His warm and thoughtful nature made us feel relaxed and ready to enjoy the excursion. Our guide truly added to our experience! Miss that guy!
Thank you so much for your lovely review and so happy to hear you enjoyed this tour with Fraser!
Weather wasn’t cooperating but we had a great day and Fraser was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and easy going with great stories (I’ve looked up John defalcon). The day flew by. I hope we make it back to Scotland soon
Thanks for your kind review, we are delighted that you enjoyed the tour and do please look us up when you come back. Always happy to help a returning client get the most out of their time in Scotland.
Hopscotch is a winner ! Literally they won awards for their business. My partner and I had the pleasure of riding with Stewart ( a weegie - slang term for a Glasgow Scot ). He taught us so many fun slang words. Hopscotch employs locals so your experience is genuine and warm and the drivers are extremely learned and vividly knowledgeable about Scottish history and culture. We were running late at breakfast but our driver was extremely courteous and professional. I also had the pleasure of chatting with Reena before our trip and she added an extra stop so we could meet the coos ! So fun and easy going and highly enjoyable adventure and we saw so many famous attractions, lochs, towns and castles, bens ( mountains ). Choose Hopscotch and you will not regret it 100% recommend this business.
Hi Beau! It was a pleasure to host you and your partner and I'm delighted we exceeded your expectations. We hope to see you in Scotland again soon! All the best! Hamish
