Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This full day trip was probably the best planned and orchestrated group tour that I have been on. Let’s start with Colin, amazing guide and Driver. Not only did he safely get us back home in the middle of a snow storm, he kept us informed and entertained throughout with his funny stories and bitty one liners. He timed everything to give us an amazing experience.

    The tour itself is a whole day trip to the north of the beautiful country and takes you through some of the best attractions that Scotland has to offer. There are enough stops for taking a break and the vehicle is also very comfortable. If you plan to do Loch Ness, Hairy Coos is the answer.

    The tour was amazing and our guide Ben was incredibly nice the whole day. He kept explaining us interesting things while driving and showing us around. He also stopped in a few spots that weren’t in the itinerary just so we could enjoy more the views. The journey was amazing and the views outstanding, 100% recommend.

    We had a great time on this tour! It was a fun way to see the highlights of the highlands. There were plenty of stops to get out and enjoy the scenery, as well as for bathroom breaks.

    We had Bruce as our tour guide, and he was great! He kept us entertained on the drive with interesting information, funny anecdotes, and an enjoyable playlist with a lot of Scottish artists.

    Also, although it’s not what we had come on the tour for, we really enjoyed the stop in Callander at the bakery (Mhor Bread) that Bruce recommended!

    We loved Scotland! We just drove by the Kelpies and did not see them lit up, however.
    The Loch Lomond area is beautiful.
    Gorgeous views!

    Amazing tour, from start to finish.
    Our guides, Mike and Alex, were funny, professional, friendly and full of cool insights.
    And the nature... Oh, that's something you gotta see for yourself.
    Would recommend to everybody.

    It has been an amazing experience. I’ve only words of thanks for our tour guide, Mark, and recognize the good job he has done. With his enthusiasm and knowledge —everything he has been telling us about Scotland (related to what we were seeing/visiting)— the bus hours have flown by. Also, I want to highlight the good playlist that he has been playing during the trip and his recommendations of activities to do and places to go. ;)

    I really enjoyed this day trip. I say goodbye to Scotland with a very good memory of this day.

    To Mark, and also to those people who were part of this trip: Thank you very much!! Take care :)

    Fantastic experience and well worth the price/early start. Our guide David couldn't have been friendlier and he made sure the atmosphere was great from beginning to end. The bus was super comfortable and we had plenty of stops for photos etc.
    Highly recommended!

    Loved this tour. BRIAN was full of knowledge and handled the winding roads like a pro. My expectations where met and highlight for me was getting close up to the kelpies.
    Highly recommend

    We had limited time and chose a one day excursion from Edinburgh to The Highlands. We booked through the Viator app and paired with our tour guide Martin with (E2G Tours Scotland).
    This tour encapsulated and highlighted some of the best views, sceneries, lochs, and castles precious to Scotland.
    We stopped in the quaint
    town of Luss, visited and fed Highland cattle, walked through beautiful pastures with sheep, explored castles with so much history, drove through the amazing Highlands with breathtaking views
    around every turn, passed incredible lochs, and even stopped for a “whiskey toast” at the Three Sisters, Glencoe.
    All of this and more, intertwined with fabulous folklore shared by Martin made our experience a memorable
    one.
    The online description of this tour is spot on. Martin will customize to suit your preferences and timeline. He was
    punctual, informative, and engaging with his witty banter. Highly recommend!
