One of the BEST days of my life.

5.00We traveled to Scotland from the America last month (over New Years). My 3 friends and I did the private Highlands tour with Taimur as a tour guide/driver. The tour itself was great but Taimur made the trip incredible. We saw so many amazing places (Luss being our favorite)—it was totally comfortable and relaxing but also stimulating thanks to Taimur. We would go from beautiful place to beautiful place at our own pace, and Taimur had wonderful stories and insights at every stop. When we wanted to be quiet and just soak it in, we could. But when we wanted to learn and absorb information, Taimur was there to tell us stories and answer any and every question. Many of the highlights weren’t even the sites themselves, but instead the conversation and funny banter we had with Taimur on the longer parts of the drive. As Americans, we came to Scotland without much context and knowledge, but we left with what feels like a true and deep understanding of Edinburgh, Glasgow, the highlands and Scotland itself. 5 out of 5 stars for the tour— 10 out of 5 stars for Taimur. My brother is going to Scotland with his family this Summer and I told him this trip with Taimur is absolutely mandatory. (Not to mention my fiancée and I are literally planning a summer Scotland trip for next year so we can do the tour with Taimur again and bring our daughter this time.)

5.00Brian took our group of 8 for an exceptional Boxing Day tour of the Highlands. He was flexible and catered all our needs. His knowledge and attention to detail made for a wonderful day and he ensured we had all the time we needed at each stop. The service of E2G and Brian himself, was top notch from our first contact. We will call upon them again and have already recommended them to others. Thanks for making our Scottish Christmas such a joy!

5.00We started the day with an intimate Cow encounter that my kids flipped for. Shak was friendly and informative. He knows the history very well. We made it to every site on the itinerary in spite of the short winter daylight. He was flexible with the needs of the children with regard to bathroom breaks.

5.00We had a wonderful day with Brian as our tour guide to Glencoe, the Kelpies, and the viaduct. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the trip. I mentioned that I really hoped to see deer while in Scotland, and Brian went out of his way to make sure that happened — which meant so much to me. He truly made the experience special. As an added bonus, his wife’s baking was absolutely delicious! An unforgettable tour with an awesome guide — highly recommended.
Amazing Tour

5.00We had an absolutely incredible experience touring Scotland with Brian. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Scottish history, culture, and the landscape. He brought every location to life with great stories, local insight, and a sense of humor that made the entire trip both educational and fun. Brian went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged, and he tailored parts of the tour to our interests, which made the experience feel personal and special. His deep knowledge of the country, combined with his friendly personality, made him an exceptional guide. I would 100% recommend Brian to anyone visiting Scotland — whether it’s your first time or your fifth. He truly made the trip unforgettable.
