We were a group of 7 and we had one of the most memorable trips with Michael. He was punctual, polite and helpful. He addressed all our requests and questions. It was a 12 hour tour, it's amazing to see how Micheal managed to do everything so perfectly. We saw breathtaking views, scenic towns and some gorgeous highland cattle and deers along the way. We will definitely look forward to have another trip booked soon. Thank you Hopscotch for everything!

We decided last minute to change from a group tour to a private tour. With a bit of google and online forum searching, we found Hopscotch. It can be scary to spend money for a private tour in another country and just hope it turns out okay. From the start, I was so impressed with Hopscotch. Their communication was so fast, friendly, and thorough. I wish all companies operated with such efficiency. We ended up scheduling two day tours out of Edinburgh. Loch Ness area with Fraser, and Sterling/Fife with Michael. Both trips were expertly tailored to our needs. The guides showed up on time, so polite, knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. I can’t say enough good things about how our tours went and how wonderful the guides were. Just so special. No regrets and would highly recommend and do again.

I cannot say enough about these tours and our guide Michael. He was very knowledgeable, prompt, and knew a ton of fun Scottish trivia and information. He made the entire trip even more enjoyable because of his personality and engagement. He showed us so much more than Loch Ness during our trip and I highly recommend this company. Thank you Michael for the most amazing time!!!

Every penny worth, and Barney is easily one of the top-notch guides of Edinburgh. Posseses a wealth of knowledge and made our journey an experience to remember. On another note, if you want to understand Edinburgh and Scotland, then you must drive through it to appreciate the true elegance and beauty of the country itself. Overall 10 on 10.

Our trip with Michael was wonderful! I can't recommend him enough, he is kind, patient and has an amazing knowledge of not only Scottish history, but any topic we were interested in. He guided us through the beautiful Highlands to Loch Ness, even spontaneously stopping at a whisky distillery because my father really wanted to visit one. Even though he just found out that morning, he also got us back to Edinburgh earlier than planned because we had a show that evening that we really wanted to attend. All in all it was a lovely trip, a perfect combination between nature, history and culture. Thank you so much and hope to see you one day again!

We spent 3 days touring the Scottish Highlands with Michael and were absolutely delighted with the entire trip. Michael is professional, courteous and very knowledgeable, advising us on our options for places which would be interesting and beautiful. We wouldn't have found 1/10 th of the places that Michael knew about and expertly took us to. He is an expert driver and we were transported in complete comfort. Our daily itineraries were diverse and very rewarding, ranging from light hikes to walking tours of local villages, a stop at a Whiskey distillery and more. We really couldn't be more pleased with our experience and highly recommend Michael and Hop Scoth to anyone looking to experience Scotland in an immersive and totally entertaining way.

Since this was our first trip to Scotland, one of the places we really wanted to see was Loch Ness (and perhaps Nessie!). We had booked a small group tour to Loch Ness previously, but the tour was cancelled 2 days before we left home, so we booked Hopscotch Travel, hoping for a more personalized experience.

This tour was everything we had hoped for and more! Michael was the best tour guide! He was wonderfully friendly and informative. Michael's telling of the history of his homeland made us appreciate the beauty of Scotland, it's long history and it's people.

We were impressed that Michael customized our tour experience based on what sights we had already visited during our trip. He didn't want to duplicate what others tours had done, which we greatly appreciated! Michael was always there to assist taking photos and giving us background information on all the places we visited. He managed the time well, and although we covered a lot of miles, we didn't feel rushed in the least.

It was a beautiful day! Thank you so much, Michael, and Hopscotch!!

As a Scot living far from home, I was eager to show my American wife a view of Scotland that would make me proud, and Hopscotch did not disappoint. The trip was led by our tour guide Michael - a fountain of knowledge for all things historic and local. His commentary really helped frame the trip in a way that simply driving would not accommodate.

The whole experience left my wife awestruck at Scotland's beauty and depth, whilst it filled me with new pride as a Scotsman.

I cannot recommend this tour company more highly. My one piece of advice would be to leave the AirPods at home, sit back and relax and let Hopscotch do the rest.
