After doing two small group tours with Rabbies, we asked about a private additional touring day, with a focus on manor houses and architecture. Rabbies matched us with Hopscotch Tours - and Michael from Hopscotch picked us up and drove us around to see the following: Rosslyn Chapel, Abbotsford House, Thirlestane Castle, and Gosford House (exterior only).
This was one of the best touring days I’ve ever had. Michael is just a joy to tour with. He drives well, he gives info (but not too much info!), he’s got a great sense of humor, and he’s easy to talk with. Our itinerary was mostly new stuff for him - because we made specific requests for what we wanted to see - and he was having just as much fun as we were.
Private touring in Scotland is expensive - but having done both Rabbies small group tours and a Hopscotch private tour on the same trip - well the Hopscotch tour really just shines.
