Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
In primo luogo, arroccato su Castle Hill, Stirling Castle attirerà sicuramente la tua attenzione, se la tua guida non te lo fa notare prima. Forse uno dei castelli più importanti della Scozia, è qui che Mary Queen of Scots fu incoronata regina e trascorse la maggior parte della sua prima infanzia.
Conosciuto come The Gateway to the Highlands, Callander è il luogo perfetto per iniziare il tour delle West Highlands. Ricca di caffetterie, negozi di articoli da regalo e, naturalmente, un fantastico negozio di whisky: la prima tappa di questo tour ti preparerà per tutto ciò che verrà. Puoi anche fare una passeggiata lungo il fiume Teith che scorre ai margini della città, con viste spettacolari sul Ben Ledi e sui Craggs dietro la città.
La Scozia è piena di strade panoramiche mozzafiato e Glenogle non è diversa. Mentre ti siedi, avrai l'imbarazzo della scelta di scattare foto. Con infinite colline ondulate, puoi immaginare di essere trasportato indietro nel tempo ai giacobiti e alle ribellioni scozzesi. La valle è in realtà conosciuta come la patria di Rob Roy MacGregor, un famoso fuorilegge scozzese diventato eroe popolare tra il 1600 e il 1700.
Uno dei castelli più fotografati della Scozia, senza dubbio lo avrai già visto. Il castello di Kilchurn è una spettacolare rovina medievale che si trova su un'isola a Loch Awe. In origine, questa non era un'isola, ma in realtà faceva parte della terraferma prima che il livello dell'acqua scendesse. La sua più famosa affermazione di fama è durante la ribellione giacobita, quando fu usata come roccaforte per gli inglesi.
Lasciandoci alle spalle il castello, guideremo lungo le rive del Loch Awe verso la nostra prossima destinazione. Un viaggio meravigliosamente panoramico, non ti mancheranno le opportunità fotografiche.
Passeggia per le pittoresche strade di Inverary, visita l'Old Sweet Shop o fermati per un caffè. Affacciata sulle rive del Loch Fyne, la città della contea fu originariamente creata e progettata dal duca di Argyll nel 1745. Ai margini della città, troverai anche il castello di Inverary, situato all'interno di vasti terreni con splendide viste sul lago.
Semplicemente spettacolare. Non ci sono parole che possano descrivere la bellezza di Rest and Be Thankful, ed è una delle valli più drammatiche che tu abbia mai visto. Attraversando la valle, vedrai anche la vecchia strada che era utilizzata durante l'epoca giacobita come via militare.
Perfetto per le immagini, il villaggio di Luss è un posto che tutti devono vedere quando visitano la Scozia. Con le sue pittoresche casette e la posizione sul lago, è uno dei villaggi più belli che si possano immaginare. Cammina lungo il molo e scatta una foto con la vista di Ben Lomond sullo sfondo, prima di tornare a Edimburgo alla fine della giornata.

Our guide Fraser was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and he seemed to pick up on our wants to see. He stopped everytime I needed the restroom. Had cold water for us. We had Michael for one day. He told me a story about Mary the Scot that brought her to life for me. Also Fraser knew I had mobility issues and tried to park as close as he could for an attraction. Hamish is why I booked with Hopscotch. He called me when I filled out a form. After I talked to him on the phone I knew he would take care of us. He was so understanding of a booking problem I had with booking com. I give everyone the highest recommendation. If I come back to Scotland I would use Hopscotch again. I have recommended it to everyone and I will put it on FB.
Thank you so much for your kind review and delighted to read you all had a lovely time and thank you also for the recommendations.
What a fantastic day with Hopscotch Travel! Our guide and driver was Fraser and he is excellent. We did the Western Highlands from Glasgow and saw so many beautiful places. They know Scotland in and out and all the special stories and history along the way. Bonus, we even saw Highland cows in the winter, which can be rare! Now I must return to Scotland to do the parts that we did not have time for, Culloden, Balmoral, Loch Ness, etc. What a gorgeous country! thank you
Thank you so much for your kind review, we really appreciate it and look forward to welcoming you back to Scotland soon!
Our guide was wonderful, informative, friendly, and hospitable. The tour was beyond expectations! Amazing views! Very professional tour company!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy to hear that you had such a wonderful time. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
This was the best day I have had on vacation in decades. The second best was the day tour I took of Edinburgh with Fraser and Hopscotch, two days before. I could not have asked for a more personable and knowledgeable guide then Fraser. Together we tailored the day to just for me. We visited: - Doune Castle (Castle Leoch in Outlander and Swamp Castle, Castle Anthrax and Camelot in Monty Python and the Holy Grail) - Callander (Mhor Bread) - Loch Lubnaig - Loch Tulla viewpoint - Rannoch Moor viewpoint - Buachaille Etive Mor (Triangular shaped mountain that features in Skyfall and Outlander S6 Ep 1) - Glencoe 3 Sisters - Glencoe Loch Achtriochtan - Glencoe NTS Visitor Centre - Luss, Loch Lomond - Stirling Castle photo - Forth Bridges Viewpoint The only thing I regret is that I did not plan more days with Fraser and Hopscotch. Planning on correcting that later this year.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Thanks again for your review - we work hard in the background to deliver the best experiences for our guests and I’m delighted to read you enjoyed your (2nd) tour with us!
My husband and I booked the private West Highland Day tour. IT WAS MAGNIFICENT. Michael, our guide, was informative and fun! He modified the tour so we could view our special interests. ( the Kelpies!). At no time did we feel rushed when we visited breathtaking sights in the West Highlands. The day was stress free because we were picked up and dropped off at our accommodations. The vehicle was comfortable and roomy. We would definitely utilize Hopscotch Travel in the future!
Thank you so much for your kind review - we are delighted to read you had a great time with Michael and hope to see you again soon.
To summarize our experience - it was fantastic, and I cannot wait to return. We all enjoyed the scenery and history so much, but our entire family agreed the best part of the entire trip was our Hopscotch guide. We all were saddened to say goodbye at the end. I don’t know if I could recommend this place enough! We did a four day family tour of Scotland - focused on the highlands and the Isle of Skye, with a stop in St. Andrews as well. The tour van was perfect for our group of 6. There is too much good to list in one review, but if you want a small, more intimate Scotland experience, this is the way to do it! Our guide, Fraser, went above and beyond to make our trip personal, extremely informative, and made sure we hit all of the must see stops. He provided great recommendations and insight for things to do, and places to eat and see at each stop. I particularly enjoyed how he related personal experiences, historic significance, and pop culture references to many of the stops we visited. He was very knowledgeable and most important to our group, FUN.
Thank you for your wonderful review and to learn that we went above and beyond for you all! We hope to welcome you back again in the not too distant future. Safe onward travels!
We did a private three day tour to the West Highlands. Our guide Fraser was amazing. Such a terrific experience!! Thank you!!
Hi Michelle, thank you for your kind review and I’m so happy to hear you had a wonderful time with Fraser! We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
This trip to the West Highlands was a wonderful experience for the two of us. It’s really remarkable how fast you can get from Edinburgh to these lovely Highlands. Our Guide Fraser was telling a lot about these beautiful landscapes and also about the Scottish History. We had a great time together with this very friendly guy Fraser. Sabine and Monika
Hi Sabine, thank you for your kind review and I'm delighted you had a wonderful time with Fraser! Regards, Reena.
Our driver Michael was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable about Scottish history. He kept the tour interesting and engaging. The scenery was unbelievable! It ia a beautiful country with even more beautiful people. We would strongly recommend this tour!!!
Hi Veronica, thank you for your kind review! We are so pleased you had a wonderful time with us. We hope you have a safe onward journey. All the best!
Scotland is magic, and our guide, Michael, knows all its secrets. You couldn’t possibly choose a better company for touring anywhere in Scotland. My wife and I had an amazing day in the West Highlands, and Hopscotch delivered a five-star experience. Though our tour happened on the hottest day of the year, the van remained cool, comfortable, and stocked with water. Michael kept us informed of his route, time to destinations, and expected return to Edinburgh- taking care to be certain that we didn’t have any evening plans to meet. He also made sure to stop for breaks, guided us to a great spot for lunch in Inveraray, and happily granted my wife’s wish to meet a “hairy coo.” Indeed, Michael tailored the day to meet our expectations, and he deftly guided us to the best photo ops. By the end of the day, he’d come to know us so well that he made time for us to check out a churchyard in Luss that he rightly knew we’d love AND still left time for us to get another chance to see Stirling Castle, which had been hidden by fog that morning. He was truly committed to giving us the best day. And really, isn’t that what you want from a private tour? Michael is just the best: friendly, engaging, funny, and knowledgeable. He brought the history around us alive through myth and anecdote, and it was immediately obvious how much he loves sharing his country with others. And since he is one of the founders of the company, he’s setting a standard that I’m sure all their guides will meet. It was a truly unforgettable day, and we can’t wait to tour with Hopscotch again.
Hi Adam, we are so happy that you and your wife had a wonderful time with Michael. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile (literally and metaphorically!) so thank you for your kind review and we hope to see you again soon.
