Hopscotch 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.
