Overview

Embark on a journey through the Highlands on this one day tour, where you’ll get to visit Scotland’s famous Loch Ness - with a chance to spot Nessie! As you travel through Scotland, your guide will take you through the Great Glen and the breathtaking views of Rannoch Moor, where you can learn about Scotland's turbulent history. Explore Fort Augustus and marvel at the Caledonian Canal before your penultimate stop at Pitlochry. Let us take the stress out of travel as you escape fixed itineraries and crowded buses. Sit back, relax and enjoy a private tour designed exclusively for you and your group, featuring: • A Private Day Tour tailored to your preferences. • An Expert Local Guide with decades of experience. • A Convenient Door-to-Door Service from your hotel or accommodation. • Travel in Style and Comfort aboard a luxurious Mercedes-Benz V-Class Minivan.

Itinerary

  • Rannoch Moor (Pass By)

    A haven for wildlife this remote expanse of around 50 square miles is truly spectacular. Enjoy breathtaking views as we drive through this other worldly landscape.

  • Glencoe

    The towering mountains of Glencoe are a sight to behold. But behind the beauty lies tragedy. The Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 is forever remembered as one of the most despicable acts of betrayal in Scottish history. The beauty and the history combine to make the atmosphere of this place something special.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Great Glen Way

    Running for 62 miles this Glen runs from Fort William all the way to Inverness following a geological fault.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Caledonian Canal

    Running for the length of the Great Glen is the Caledonian canal. A most impressive feat of engineering the canal includes Neptune’s Staircase, the longest staircase lock in the UK. We will stop at Fort Augustus which the canal runs through and sits on the shores of Loch Ness. A great place to stop for lunch and enjoy fantastic views of the loch.

    2 hours

  • Fort Augustus

    Fort Augustus sits on the shores of Loch Ness. A great place to stop for lunch and enjoy fantastic views of the loch.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Loch Ness

    At 23 miles long this is the largest body of water by volume in Great Britain. Plenty of space for mysterious creatures to lurk. Be sure to take lots of photos of this spectacular place.

    3 hours

  • Pitlochry

    This largely Victorian town has always been a favorite destination for tourists. You will see why as you walk down the pretty high street.

    1 hour

Loch Ness day tour

Published on Aug, 2024

10/10 fantastic. Fraser was the best tour guide we have ever met. He was knowledgeable and told great interesting stories. He knew just when to stop and let us get more coffee! Highly recommended and hope to use this tour group again.

A perfect lochness tour

Published on Jun, 2024

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!

Absolutely worth it! Treat yourself

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.
