Great day, Greater guy!

Private Tour of Loch Ness, Glencoe and Highlands from Edinburgh
chrisrY9566WR, Sep 2026
Great day, Greater guy!
We had an incredible day touring Scotland with Shak. He took us everywhere we wanted to go, but what made the day truly memorable was getting to know him along the way. He had a great sense of when to take the lead and when to sit back and let us enjoy the moment.Shak is one of those people you meet once but somehow never forget. We came for the sights, but we left feeling like we had spent the day with a genuinely great guy. We couldn’t recommend him more.

10/10 Recommend Paul from E2G Tours! This was a day we'll never forget.
The BEST highland tour we could have done! Paul was our tour guide and my whole family just loved hearing from him. He was very accommodating for our family (family of 6 including a 2 and 4 year old and grandparents), reaching out to us in advance in order to make sure we had an appropriately timed lunch spot for our kids. He showed us the most beautiful parts of the highlands, knew all of the ins and outs of feeding the highland cows (they were being lazy, but Paul was able to get them up!), and took us to his favorite castle, Inveraray Castle, which was the most incredible castle we toured during our entire 12-day cruise.While he took us to the most surreal places, the reality is that Paul as our tour guide really made this day incredible. I loved hearing him chat with my husband about Scottish music, it mattered so much to me that he cared about and included our kids in the tour, and he took tons of photos for us that he sent over (which, as the mom who is always behind the camera REALLY appreciated!).I'm sure every tour guide from E2G Tours is outstanding, but I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Paul!

Your Ideal Day in the Highlands

Your Ideal Day in the Highlands
Our day with Paul in the Scottish Highlands was incredible. Traveling with our 2 young kids and my in-laws, we had a very comfortable experience in the most beautiful area we've ever been in the world. From getting to feed Highland Cows, explore some of the most scenic area in the world, visiting a castle that had a Duke actively residing in it, and even learning more about the Celtic/Rangers football rivalry, this was one of our family's two favorite days of our trip to the British Isles. I can't say enough good things about Paul and how he took care of our family during this day trip. We learned a ton about the history of Scotland, the beautiful landscape, and had the best time together exploring the Highlands. I would definitely recommend this trip, spending the day with Paul, and seeing the breath-taking beauty this trip has to offer.

Wonderful day exploring the Highlands with Blair!

Luxury Private Tour of The Highlands Loch Ness from Edinburgh

Wonderful day exploring the Highlands with Blair!
Our tour with Blair of Bonnie Scotland Tours was incredible! Blair arrived with water and premium Scottish snacks for our road trip. He confirmed our priorities for the day and off we went in a nice, comfortable roomy van.Blair is a wonderful host. He’s knowledgeable about history but shares it in an interesting, relevant way. He added in some surprises (won’t tell them all) but there were some Outlander locations once he found out we were fans. He adapted the itinerary and gave us great tips on where to spend more or less time based on our interests and the weather.He hooked us up with a great lunch spot and made sure we were comfortable with the setup while he researched conditions for the rest of the day.We discovered that Bonnie Scotland arranged bespoke tours, there’s no “one tour”. When we go back for more days in the Highlands, they’ll be our first call.Spending the day with Blair was truly a highlight for our group of four adults. Can’t recommend Blair and the company enough.

10 points to Hufflepuff
Sam was an excellent tour guide and I loved getting to see all the places that inspired JK Rowling. The quizzes throughout and giving “points” to all the houses was really fun. I loved that the tour was free but we were able to tip our guide at the end, especially with a card reader as most international visitors, like myself, don’t carry cash. I highly recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fans or even someone who isn’t a fan!

Robert’s Perfect Way!
New York City
Private Royal Mile walking tour – Discover the history of our most famous street
Wanderer772711, Sep 2026
Robert’s Perfect Way!
Our Royal Mile private tour was a highlight of our trip to Edinburgh. Robert spent time before the tour chatting to learn about our interests and special requests, then expertly personalized our experience. His knowledge and passion for the history of Edinburgh is comprehensive yet the tour felt more like a conversation since he continuously checked in to get our thoughts. We are seniors-one with a mobility issue and Robert silently modified his pace to match ours, while incorporating his commentary into rest stops he integrated into the tour-without our request. When we told him our plans for the rest of the day after his tour, he ended the day at the precise location we requested. We are confident that no two Robert tours are the same since he designs the day around his guests, but are also very very sure that they all reflect his vibrant personality and historical knowledge. We enthusiastically recommend booking with Robert and send him our gratitude for a memorable experience.
