Best Travel Experience I've Ever Had!
My experience on a private 2-day tour with Hopscotch travel in April 2025 was hands-down my favorite travel activity I've ever done on a trip! I could not recommend it more highly. Michael was the most incredible tour guide - his wealth of knowledge, ability to customize the experience based on our interests, and his passion for the travel industry truly made the tour absolutely magical. We got to see Lochs, visit castles, drive through the Lowlands and Highlands, feed Highland cows, see Edinburgh, and do two whisky tastings all while getting the best history lesson about Scotland and the UK. I'm already hoping to plan a family trip to Scotland in the coming years and will 1000% book with Hopscotch Travel again. Worth every penny and more.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your glowing review! We are delighted to read you had a lovely time with Michael. Do please keep us in mind if you ever plan to visit Scotland again - we'd be delighted to help you!

Amazing 5 Star Experience!!
I just had the most incredible Loch Ness tour — it was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, every moment felt magical and truly unforgettable.Adding to the fantastic experience was the luxury mini van service provided by Hopscotch Travels. The vehicle was incredibly comfortable and spacious — perfect for relaxing during the journey between stops. Our driver was simply amazing: friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the area, making the entire day feel seamless and special. I left feeling like I’d stepped into another world — it was genuinely out of this world! If you’re visiting Scotland, this Loch Ness tour with Hopscotch Travels is an absolute must. Five stars, no question!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review - we are so happy to read that you are happy! We work hard behind the scenes to make sure each and every trip runs smoothly and delivers an outstanding experience for our guests - we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV cost?
+
Prices start at $2,314 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV?
+
Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; In-vehicle air conditioning; Breakfast; and Overnight Stay at a 4* Hotel (including breakfast). Not included: Lunch and Dinner; Gratuities; and Distillery Tour & Tasting Tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 469 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Edinburgh: 2-Day Private Loch Ness Tour in Luxury Mercedes MPV offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
