5.00My friend Emily and I went on a private Harry Potter tour with Chrissie from E2G. Firstly, Chrissie reached out prior to our tour to inquire about any food allergies and to give us a few reminders about the upcoming trip. Chrissie was at our hotel promptly to pick us up, where she greeted us warmly. Chrissie was very personable. She chatted with us throughout the day, giving us information about not only Harry Potter scenes, but also answered any questions we had about anything (coos, history, mountains, dogs, etc.) It was more like a trip with a friend rather than with a stranger. We visited the two different spots with hairy coos, the Glenfinnan Viaduct (although the train did not go over, we did discuss the history of the Jacobites and still had a chance to watch the train later.) We saw Dumbledore's burial, Hagrid's hut, stopped at the three sisters monroes, stopped for lunch at a nice little place, a castle where Game of Thrones and another show (apologies for my memory!) was used for parts of the videos, and then the Kelpies. She also brought us to a local place for dinner at the end before dropping us off at the hotel. We experienced cows crossing the road, amazing laughs, jokes, shared some personal details about ourselves, so again - it felt so warm and more like being a friend rather than a scripted tour company. Chrissie worked so hard to give an amazing experience. Although some things occurred along the way that wasn't to plan, we were so thankful for Chrissie and had an absolutely memorable time with her. We will always recommend E2G! Chrissie followed up afterwards to ask if we wanted/needed any additional advice or recommendations for other things to do/see/eat in Scotland for the remainder of our stay, which was so thoughtful! It was also very clear that she and E2G want to provide the best experience possible to their guests. Although the fee is more for a private tour than a group tour from other companies, E2G is absolutely worth it every penny.
Great Tour with a Tour Guide (Taimur) that enhanced the Experience.

5.00This is a great experience to go out see Harry Potter landscapes as well as seeing the high lands and low Tour. Of Scotland. Taimur was a great Tour Guide that went out of his way to make sure we truly had an epic time. He was extremely knowledgeable and took us to more stops then we expected and was dedicated to making this more then just a tour.
Fantastic trip

5.00Ryan was fantastic. He kept us on schedule but didn't make us feel rushed and covered a LOT of miles. The Scottish countryside was absolutely stunning.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience—Phil Made Our Special Day Perfect!

5.00From the very start, Phil provided a fantastic day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. His knowledge of the Glencoe area is second to none—he knew all the hidden gems and breathtaking viewpoints, and was so attentive to our interests and needs throughout the journey. The car was incredibly comfortable, making the whole experience even more relaxing and enjoyable. Phil went above and beyond in every way. He stopped at all the most beautiful spots, including some personal locations we requested, and made sure we saw everything we wanted (and more!). What really set this tour apart, though, was Phil’s warmth and professionalism—he truly cared about making our day special. Phil is also an outstanding professional photographer. My partner and I had no idea that our trip would become the best day of our lives—my partner proposed at the Jacobite train viaduct, and without any notice, Phil captured the moment perfectly! The photos are absolutely stunning and will be treasured forever. To top it all off, Phil provided an outstanding local whisky, making our trip home and engagement even more memorable. He genuinely went above and beyond at every turn. We are so grateful for his kindness, attention to detail, and expertise. We can’t recommend Phil highly enough—if you have the chance to book a tour with him, do it! You’ll be in the best hands. We were so impressed that we’ll be inviting Phil to our wedding! Thank you, Phil, for making our day absolutely magical.

He made it memorable with the drink at the Three sisters at Glencoe!! Went out of the way to show us places around of our interest - Castle and 2nd round with Hairy Coos!! Thank you!
