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...

An unforgettable day in the Highlands of Scotland

5.00Very nice day spent with family in the Highlands and Loch Ness thanks to our guide Corinne and our driver Taiymuir. Despite the fog and the early sunset, we really enjoyed this trip to one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. Mineral water and cakes were even planned during the journey (as well as a small whisky tasting planned by Corinne). A note for the organizers: plan the day differently in winter to take into account that the sun sets very early (4:30 pm), and that the last monuments / tours are not visible at night (maybe leaving earlier in the morning, as there are many hours of driving).
Excellent

The Best Way to See Scotland is with Shak!

5.00Our private tour with Shak was the highlight of our trip to Scotland. We started in Edinburgh and made our way through the Highlands, stopping to see the famous Highland cows, old world villages and architecture, local walking areas with waterfalls, and the kind of views that make you just stop and take it all in. If you’ve never been to Scotland, Loch Ness is of course a box to check, but was not the highlight of our trip, the best parts were everything in between. The rural backroads, the local stops that weren’t packed with tourists, and the stories Shak shared along the way made it all feel like home. What stood out most was how personal Shak made it. He took time to get to know us, adjusted our plans when it made sense, and did it so naturally that the day always felt easy. We felt completely taken care of and comfortable the whole time. Scotland is stunning, and pictures will never capture it. You have to see it for yourself, and when you do, go with Shak! It’ll feel less like a tour and more like spending the day with a friend who loves his country and can’t wait to show it to you.
Great excursion

5.00Joao, our guide, was fantastic. He knew all the scenic stops to make and the history behind each of the. The highlands were beautiful, the Loch Ness boat tour was great. The food we had in the little villages was delicious. If you’re looking for a great all day tour, I highly recommend E2G and Joao for a wonderful experience.
