We departed from Edinburgh for a private Highlands tour. Everything was fantastic — the tour was interesting and fun. We saw everything we wanted to see, and the guide not only explained everything in excellent Italian, but was also super accommodating for any extra requests. Amazing tour and Diana is an excellent guide!!! Absolutely must-book!!!!

Our group of four had an incredible time exploring the Scottish Highlands with João. He was a fantastic companion and guide, highlighting so many fascinating details and personal stories along the way. Highly recommended!
What can we say? On what was a very cold and dreary day, this tour turned the day into one of the highlights of our time in Scotland. Phil was quick to communicate with us prior to the day, arrived promptly and was very accommodating for any additions or exclusions to the itinerary. Though we had driven around the UK by ourselves for three weeks prior to this day, we know we would never have seen half of the amazing things we did - had we been on our own. Phil was a wealth of knowledge and we had an absolute blast - despite the rain and cold!!! We highly recommend.
Darrell was excellent! Very knowledgeable and professional. Friendly & a superb driver. Knew all the places and how to get there. Patient to work with, never felt hurried! Went the extra mile for us. Will ask for by name next time.
Extremely friendly and helpful guide!
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).
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.
We had a great experience. Taiymur was very knowledgeable and went the extra mile for us.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!!
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
Joao was our wonderful & knowledgeable guide for three days. Our trip centered around family history & genealogy and he went above and beyond to help us find our past. He was right there with us in a cemetery searching for and helping to clean a gravestone from 1851 with his brush and water! Joao was fun and kind and we can’t thank him enough for making our trip so special.
Had a great day with Fiona who showed us many wonderful sights! The tour is a full day so be prepared. Thanks again, Fiona, for your hospitality.
Choosing this tour was the best decision we made while visiting Scotland! Jimmy was relatable, attentive, and true to his promise to make us feel un-hurried. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and highly recommend this tour to those who are interested in authentic Scottish castles, beautiful highland views, highland "coos", and personal stories related to the places you visit. The best part is that the trip is highly customizable and you can spend the most time exploring places you enjoy the most.
Though it was a rainy day, it suited the solum grandeur of these beautiful mountains. Jimmy is a native of the Highlands and was an outstanding guide, sharing his own stories and knowledge of the region. Beautiful tour and unforgettable views.
