Awesome Guide! The best!

5.00Darryl is an excellent guide! This tour was the highlight of our trip so far. Darryl was very accommodating to our requested stops and even a couple of curve balls we threw him along the way. He was very conscious about what we wanted to see and do and was very informative of the area and its history. He was patient, considerate, and caring. Do not hesitate to book a trip with Darryl. You will be thrilled you did!

5.00Omar Razza Was our driver for the day. He was kind polite and a sensational driver. He provided information on the various sites we visited during our all day tour, and most importantly knew the best route for timing for arrival at our different stops. He expertly guided us through the city of Costco and was exceptionally considerate to our needs an amount of time at each job. We would highly recommend him.!
Wonderful day with Karen!...

5.00Wonderful day with Karen! Very professional tour company. We saw multiple highlights in Glasgow AND the Kelpies & Falkirk Wheel in just one day! We never felt rushed and we returned to our ship in ample time before all aboard time!
A great day with Simon

5.00Our driver, Simon, was personable, flexible, courteous. He made our day a memorable one because he was willing to personalize our itinerary to help us see some places and things that were of special interest to us. Once he got the sense of the kind of interests we had, he made some excellent suggestions to round out our experience. Our side trip to the little town of Luss proved to be one of the highlights of our day. Simon was also attentive to our needs by providing water, a step stool to get in and out of his van, and his suggestion for lunch in the town of Callander. Lastly, our last experience was with the Falkirk Wheel. Simon took time to explain how it worked and waited patiently while we watched the wheel operate. All in all, we had a great day getting out into the countryside outside of Glasgow. I highly recommend his services as both a good driver and guide.
Shore Excursion to Scottish Highlands

5.00We had an amazing private tour of the Scottish Highlands area with Gerry. The tour had a standard itinerary but Gerry let us customize it to see and do a few things we specifically requested. Gerry is very knowledgeable about this area and provided us with a lot of very interesting historical facts along our tour. He went above and beyond what we expected to make sure we enjoyed our day with him! Gerry was very professional and very easy to work with. Our communications with E2G and Gerry were very clear and timely! We couldn't have asked for a better tour than we had with Gerry/E2G and would not hesitate to book another tour with them if we return to the area!
