It was an excellent combination tour of the Highlands, Kirk and castles. Our guide, Alvin, was knowledgeable, courteous, and very patient. Alvin considered the interest and needs of our ages (55, 56, 81, and 88).
Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased our guide adapted the tour to your group, to make it as special as you wanted it to be!
We so appreciate the long day-tour we did with Ryan. He communicated with us days in advance to arrange pick up and was a wonderful companion all day. Because it was just me, my wife, and daughter, he not only catered the trip specifically to our tastes, but added more than 90 minutes of stops and dropped us off at our new Glasgow hotel (after picking us up in Stirling). Ryan was funny, friendly, and clearly proud of his home country. It was a real highlight of our two-week stay in France and the UK.
Thank you so much for the lovely review and so glad that Ryan gave you a great day. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
We had a great experience. Taiymur was very knowledgeable and went the extra mile for us.
Thank you for your kind review. Taiymur is an experienced guide and always goes out of his way to ensure our guests have a good time. We are glad you had a good day with him.
Exploring the country outside of the city was more than I imagined . So much history was told to us by our guide Diana . A tour well worth it.
Thank you Joan! Glad you had a good day with Diana :)
We had an amazing day trip to the Highlands. Our guide Shak was super accommodating in picking us up early to try to fit in as much possible before the weather turned. We loved getting to see the beauty of the highlands with some great chat from Shak. Perfect way to spend the day and get a taste of the highlands. Definitely recommend.
Awww that was sweet of Shak to arrange an earlier pickup with storm Dave on route. Great to hear your tour went well and thanks for the 5 star rating.
We had an absolutely fabulous experience with E2go Tours! We booked two private tours—one with Phil and one with João—and both felt less like drivers and more like friends showing us around! They were incredibly flexible and worked with us to create routes that matched exactly what we wanted to see, while also offering great suggestions we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. Everything was seamless—always on time, professional, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. If you’re looking for a personalized, stress-free way to explore, E2go Tours is the way to go. Highly recommend!
What a wonderful review Christie, it’s always nice to hear when our guides like Phil and Joao have provided the best possible tour on the day.
Our guide Colin was great! Very knowledgeable on the history and places. In a span of 2 days we’ve covered so many places and distances over 900km! Awesome recommendations for food! Thank you so much. Colin for being our guide! Appreciate the memories and pictures taken home to treasure!
Thanks Teo for your 2 day taster of Skye review, having Colin as your guide would have been that little bit more special, he is a wealth of knowledge and has a true passion for the history of the land.
Colin was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable! We had a great time and saw so many beautiful sites. I would recommend for anyone who is looking to explore more of Scotland. Thank you Colin!
Colin is an incredible guide, and we are glad you had a great time with him. Thank you for your feedback.
This tour was amazing! I was looking for castles, mountains, and anything Scottish Highlands. Well that is exactly what we got, Martin was a great guide taking us to places with the most amazing views and his knowledge of the area and history was superb!! The chatting in the van was hilarious and we rode with very few quiet moments with everyone conversing with Martin to see what other nuggets of info we could learn. We were able to get out and stretch our legs take fantastic pictures and even feed the highland cattle!! Martin even suggested some places to see on the next leg of our trip. This tour and Martin as our guide were the perfect choice for our visit. Thank you so much Martin!!
Thanks Karalyn for your wonderful review and kind words, with good company, decent weather and the fun group you were, it’s was a great Tour from Stirling to the Highlands
Joao was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable, was flexible and accommodating to our schedule, and very fun and easygoing. Had a wonderful day filled with great memories and could definitely not have seen so many places on our own. Highly recommend
Many thanks Elizabeth for leaving Joao a 5 star rating for our Highland tour from Stirling. It always nice to hear great feedback for our guides, Joao is one of our most treasured assets.
