Overview

Enjoy a private, guided tour through the West Highlands. On this tour, you will see the most famous sights of Scotland including Stirling Castle, before visiting the picturesque town of Callander. From here, you’ll get to sit back and enjoy the scenic drive through Glenogle, before stopping at Loch Awe - which provides a fantastic photo opportunity of Kilchurn Castle. Your guide will then take you to Inverary, where you can wander through the picturesque streets and marvel at the loch. Next, you’ll get to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the Rest and be Thankful before your penultimate stop at the picture-perfect Village of Luss on the banks of Loch Lomond. Avoid the stresses of travel as you step away from fixed itineraries and crowded buses and sit back and relax on a private tour which includes; • A Private Day Tour tailored to your preferences. • An Expert Local Guide. • A Door-to-Door Service. • Travel in a Luxurious, Mercedes-Benz V-Class Premium Minivan.

Itinerary

  • Stirling Castle (Pass By)

    Firstly, perched on Castle Hill, Stirling Castle is sure to catch your eye - if your guide doesn’t point it out first. Possibly one of Scotland’s most important castles, it’s here where Mary Queen of Scots was crowned Queen and spent most of her early childhood.

  • Callander

    Known as The Gateway to the Highlands, Callander is the perfect place to start your West Highlands tour. Bursting with coffee shops, gifts shops - and of course a fantastic whisky shop - the first stop on this tour will get you ready for everything that’s to come. You can also take a stroll along the River Teith which flows along the edge of the town, with spectacular views of Ben Ledi and the Craggs behind the town.

    1 hour

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Scotland is full of breathtaking scenic drives, and Glenogle is no different. As you sit back, you’ll be spoilt for picture opportunities. With endless rolling hills, you can imagine yourself transported back to the time of the Jacobites and Scottish rebellions. The glen is actually known as the homeland for Rob Roy MacGregor - a famous Scottish outlaw turned folk hero between the 1600s and 1700s.

  • Kilchurn Castle

    One of Scotland’s most photographed castles, you’ll no doubt have seen it before. Kilchurn Castle is a spectacular medieval ruin that sits on an ‘island’ on Loch Awe. Originally, this wasn’t an island, but actually part of the mainland before the water level dropped. Its most famous claim to fame is during the Jacobite Rebellion when it was used as a stronghold for the English.

    1 hour

  • Loch Awe (Pass By)

    Leaving the castle behind, we will drive along the banks of Loch Awe on the way to our next destination. A beautifully scenic drive, you’ll not be short of picture opportunities.

  • Inveraray

    Wander through the picturesque streets of Inverary, visit the Old Sweet Shop or stop for a coffee. Overlooking the banks of Loch Fyne, the county town was originally created and planned by the Duke of Argyll in 1745. On the edge of the town, you’ll also find Inverary Castle which is set within extensive grounds with beautiful views over towards the Loch.

    1 hour

  • Rest and be Thankful (Pass By)

    Simply spectacular. There are no words that can describe the beauty of the Rest and Be Thankful, and it’s one of the most dramatic valleys you’ll ever see. Winding through the valley, you’ll also see the old road which was used during the Jacobite times as a military route.

  • Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park (Pass By)

    Picture-perfect, the village of Luss is somewhere everyone has to see when visiting Scotland. With its quaint little houses and Loch-side location, it’s one of the prettiest villages imaginable. Walk along the pier and get your picture taken with views of Ben Lomond in the backdrop, before heading back to Edinburgh at the end of your day.

Wonderful and informative

Published on Apr, 2025

Our guide was wonderful, informative, friendly, and hospitable. The tour was beyond expectations! Amazing views! Very professional tour company!

My pictures do not this tour justice

Published on Apr, 2025

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.

Magnificent Tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

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!

EXCEPTIONAL

Published on Jul, 2024

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.
