Scottish Highlands Tour

5.00We had a fantastic private highlands tour with Darryl. His rich knowledge of Scottish history added depth to every stop and we loved hearing the stories behind the places we visited. Some of our favorites were the multiple mountain stops with beautiful views, visiting Hagrid’s hut (although not actually the hut), and enjoying lunch with locally sourced food. Darryl was also easy to talk to-mixing in everyday Scottish life, a sense of humor, and genuine curiosity about us. It made the whole day feel relaxed, personal, and memorable. Highly recommend.
An unforgettable tour of the scenic Highlands with an amazing guide

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable day in the Highlands with George Riley, who is without question one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. What made this tour so special wasn’t just the beautiful scenery — it was George himself. He is warm, funny, kind, knowledgeable, and so genuinely passionate about Scotland that his love for it becomes contagious. He has a gift for storytelling and made every moment interesting, heartfelt, and entertaining. Honestly, George could probably make a tour of a cement factory something memorable.. By the end of the day, we felt less like tourists and more like we had spent the day with someone who truly wanted us to experience the heart of Scotland. We left smiling, grateful, and genuinely sad to say goodbye. If you have the chance to tour with George, take it — you will not be disappointed.

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Glencoe on New Year’s Day thanks to Joao. He was very considerate of my 88 yr old mother. He made sure she was never rushed and she could enjoy at her own pace. Joao was very knowledgeable about the area which made the trip even better. If you are looking for a great tour guide I highly recommend Joao
Be careful of how you are charged.

5.00If you reduce the number of travelers (we reduced from 6 to 4) you will be charged for 6 people rather than 4. Dealing with help chat was not helpful. It seems that you must cancel and then rebook. A very unsatisfactory situation. That said, E2G Travel is a superb operation with excellent driver/guides.
Fantastic Tour with a Fantastic Guide!

5.00This tour gave the most memorable Scottish views. Absolutely BREATHTAKING. Our guide, Shak, was an immediate hit with our kid! He was very kind and thoughtful. Gave the kids some traditional Scottish sweets (which we’re still enjoying). Just overall a beyond memorable tour. Truly amazing! Would 100% recommend E2G Tours and Shak! We’ll be back!!

5.00Ryan Riley was fantastic! This tour had a wonderful combination of natural beauty, history and castles. We also asked that animals be a focus, and Ryan found cows and deer for us. Glencoe was my very favorite part! The lunch stop was fantastic, too! We highly recommend this tour and driver, Ryan Riley.
Great guide, private very much worth it.

5.00Phil was a great guide. Private tour was exactly that with pickup at our place and everything per our discretion. Absolutely worth the extra, not being herded around like cattle in the group tours.
E2G tours is a fantastic company to deal with

5.00From the booking, and all through our day long tour, this company was the best. We had Joao for a guide and he was exceptionally knowledgeable, accommodating, and pleasant. Could not have had a better time.

5.00We had Corrine for our tour guide/driver and she was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited and extremely friendly and outgoing. Very easy to talk to and ask questions. The stops she picked for us to stop and take pictures at, were out of this world AMAZING! We couldn't have asked for a better day or tour guide. We will absolutely be asking for her again and recommending her to others!
