What To Expect
Craigie's Farm not used
Craigie's farm is a 30 minute drive from Edinburgh city centre. This is a working farm that has Highland Cows that love carrots as treats. There's also a farm shop and cafe where you can grab a coffee and/or a bite to eat to take on the go. Please note that in the winter months the cows may not be available. Whereas we will endeavour to take you to a different site to see cows, you will not be able to feed them. If in doubt, contact us before your tour.
Luss
A 90 minute drive will take us to the 'foot steps' of the Highlands and the beautiful village of Luss nestled on the banks of Loch Lomond, overlooking the Ben Lomond munro. Apart from stunning views of Luch Lomond, Luss is a place steeped in history, and here you can find an extremely rare Viking Hogback gravestone. There's a couple of gift shops, toilet facilities and places for refreshments.

Christmas Private Tour Highlands

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!
Great Day in the Highlands

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.

5.00I had a somewhat long, detailed review written - I went ‘back’ to correct a typo (not using the browser button, just the navigation within Viator) and it disappeared. So…I am NOT a huge fan of this site, and their technology. And I have had some lousy experiences, I don’t know that they screen tour operators very well (or at all?) - which is why I am writing a review. I depend on reviews when choosing a tour operator, so want to be sure to share my experience. Our tour guide, Chrissie, was excellent. She reached out a few days before to confirm, and recommended moving up our start time - being the end of November she wanted to be sure we had as much daylight as possible. She arrived on time, and the tour was great. She also asked at the beginning if we had any plans or a set time by which we needed to return, we did not - so she encouraged us to take our time at several stops, we definitely went well over the 8 hours. She is very knowledgeable and made it a fun day! I would definitely recommend this tour - it wasn’t the cheapest but as my wife has some mobility issues we wanted a private tour at our pace and it was absolutely worth it.
Phil is great guide for E2G Tours!

5.00Phil is a great guide....he is friendly, has a fun sense of humor and knows Scotland roads well and is a great photographer! I went on two custom tours with Phil this September. I planned a custom Outlander tour for me and some friends. We planned where we wanted to go. Phil took us to each place seamlessly and took photos of us and the iconic Outlander locations. And as an added bonus, took us to a beautiful sunset loch view on the way back to Edinburgh. The 2nd custom tour was to the Northumberland area of Northern England from Edinburgh. Our main sites were to see Alnwick & Bamburgh Castles. On the way we stopped at the Scotland/England border. Got the half in Scotland & half in England shot! After seeing the castles, we stopped by the coastal beach right near Bamburgh Castle and got some great photos! I highly recommend touring with Phil and E2G Tours! Phil took all these photos!
