Highlands/Loch Ness Tour with Colin

5.00Colin with E2G was a fantastic guide for our family of 6! He is so knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and his passion for the subject really made the adventure so fun! We got to experience sunshine and rain and he didn’t skip a beat with making sure we saw all the things we hoped to! He was so patient with our very energetic 7 year old and I appreciate his intentional kindness! I also have a son with a medical condition and Colin was very helpful in making sure we could make the stops necessary for him. We are so grateful.
Amazing day trip!

5.00It was an amazing trip. Our guide was Ross he is very knowledgeable and friendly, we had a lot of fun talking with him all the way to the highlands and castles. The landscape of Scotland is just beautiful. We took a lot of pictures, and had time in every stop to walk around and know a little.
Great trip!

5.00Excellent day trip from Edinburgh to the Highlands with guide George Riley! He took us to castles, quaint villages lots of scenic locations. As a local Scotsman, George had many interesting stories to tell about the history of the area. Great snack breaks too. Our tour was full day and the day flew by. Could not have asked for a better, more entertaining guide than George. Cheers!
Exceptional experience!

5.00Taimur was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area. More importantly though, he tailored the experience to what our family (with small children) needed. Our children get motion sickness, so he came prepared with bags and wipes. When the highland roads became too windy for them, he modified his tour to accommodate their needs. When the kids’ batteries ran out, he brought us back to the hotel early while still pointing out the important landmarks along the way. We felt as though we were able to make the most of the experience despite the motion sickness, rain, and dwindling social batteries of our children. Highly recommend for a tailored Scottish highlands experience!

5.00We were so lucky to have Ross as our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He knew all the great spots and made sure we didn’t miss out on anything. He made sure everyone was comfortable and I felt so safe with him driving. Those roads are pretty narrow and he handled them like a pro. He was thoughtful and felt like family by the end of the tour.

5.00We made a private tour with João as our guide. It was the best choice we made. João took us to incredible places, always taking advantage of the paths of the trip to add interesting stops both to the context of the historical points and to take beautiful photos. The tour was by car through the Highlands following to Lake Ness with João driving with a lot of tranquility and safety. We highly recommend the tour!Thank you João
Great tour!

5.00Jimmy was our guide for the highlands tour. We arrived during NYE - and due to weather, the holidays, and some accidents on wintry roads- he laid out a plan to be able to see so many different places while avoiding the pitfalls of travel during this time. I was impressed! Great tour.
It’s amazing, very well...
