George is the best! Wonderful tour with all of the hidden spots that we wouldn’t have seen or even known about on our own. Stopped for a wee whiskey at the 3 sisters and some fish and chips!

I have been traveling Europe for three weeks and took probably over 10 hours in that period. This was far and away my favorite! This team really takes the stress out of travel and I know for a fact I saw views that the Internet simply can't tell you about. They have their fingers on the pulse of hidden gems.

Brian was a great guide for our tour and really tried to make it personalized for our family (Macdonald) to see the points that would particularly interest us. He was fantastic about taking pictures of our family so that all members were included (even Mom!). He was also very cognizant of our time limitation due to the all aboard time for our cruise. We will remember these amazing sites of Scotland and the stories that Brian shared with us fondly.

Our tour actually began with contact between myself and Jimmy our guide before arrival. He made sure our meeting spot was well understood and our expectations were well received. I was impressed by our conversation but was completely blown away once we started our tour. We had a genuine highlander and Seanchai. Jimmy was a wealth of knowledge and regaled us in tales of ancient Scotland as well as a thorough understanding of the Highlands and all of our interests along the way. The views on our tour were exquisite and as a lifelong resident of the Highlands he knew every trail mountain and lake in the vicinity. An avid outdoorsman he had climbed most every mountain we passed and had intricate knowledge of the trails (we are hikers) we questioned him about. We were lucky to run into a farmer while observing a ruin in the highlands and he told stories of the wretched history of the castles ancient inhabitants and more recently a witch. Good stuff indeed! I wanted seafood and when we reached Oban and Jimmy set us up right for lunch. After a quick trip to Oban distillery for a wee taste (me not Jimmy) it was off to the highlands. It’s hard to describe how beautiful those mountains lakes and valleys were. We stopped for a coffee and then headed back to Loch Lomand and finally the docks I strongly recommend this tour and my suggestion is to book early. Everyone at E2G Travel was wonderful and took great care of us.

Simon was great. He was very accomodating with our schedule. We spent way too long touring a castle and Simon recommended adjustments that allowed us to see almost all qe wanted to see...including feeding the Hilean Coo. It was awesome! Thank you Simone!

Raji_K

A great experience with Mr.Brian, our guide. He made the entire tour flexible, he is unbelievably knowledgeable in all that you would want to know about Scotland. He surprised us with Scottish treats and clicked innumerable pictures of our family.
