What To Expect
Calton Hill
Also known as Monument Hill, this is a fantastic spot to look over Edinburgh. From here, you’ll be able to see Edinburgh Castle, Leith, the Old Town and the New Town. It’s a beautiful spot where your guide can tell you all about the history of Edinburgh - and point out all the landmarks as you go.
Dean Village
A true hidden gem, Dean Village is somewhere you might miss if traveling alone. With Hopscotch, we’ll make sure you see all the best sights and make memories to last a lifetime.

5.00Hopscotch was an excellent choice for a private tour of Edinburgh. We saw the highlights from the expected stops, but they also presented us some other perspectives on the city which we would not have seen otherwise. We also appreciated the utter flexibility of the day -- lingering at some stops, glancing at others, they cheerfully accommodated our requests. All the while, we heard history of land as well as the personalities and history that marks Edinburgh as a cultural center.
