Traveller reviews
George Riley was amazing-very knowledgeable about his country. I don’t know how he stayed so calm, cheerful and on top of things for 7 long days of driving & touring. He was so attentive to all our needs and non-affected by all our little personality quirks (yes we all have them). E2G is a great tour company & I can’t recommend them enough!
Title: Unforgettable Experience! I'm American and I booked with E2G because I did not want to try to drive on the other side of the road, navigate, and enjoy the scenery all at the same time. Excellent decision on my part. E2G helped me with planning and identifying treks/hikes and I felt very prepared when I arrived. And then there was David, my guide. I expected a knowledgeable Scot, of course, but I did not expect to spend the first day bent over, snorting with laughter. David was a good teacher of all things Scottish, including the food (haggis, neeps and tatties, fried crunchy pizza), history and folklore (ask about the white houses), Highland coos (special cows), and Scottish tradition and culture (freedom to roam). He was also very kind about going at a rather slow pace on the walks, as I am an old pit wench. Perhaps because he is a husband and father of four, he managed all my special needs (cappucino now! picture now!) and wants effortlessly. He was flexible, able to improvise, annoyingly punctual, and a very safe driver on crazy country roads. We traveled from Perth to Fort William, Glencoe, the Trossachs, and Loch Lomond. All beautiful. I absolutely fell in love with misty Scotland. I cannot recommend E2G highly enough!
We had an outstanding experience with E2G Travels from start to finish. From the initial planning stages through our April tour, the team was incredibly responsive, flexible, and attentive to our preferences. They thoughtfully tailored our itinerary while adding their own expert touches, which truly elevated the entire experience. Our guide, Martin, was exceptional. He was personable, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout the journey. We especially appreciated how he proactively adjusted the itinerary to accommodate our son’s knee injury—his care and attention made a meaningful difference for our family. One of the highlights was Martin’s thoughtful gestures—bringing us a variety of snacks and candies each day, always something new. It was such a small but memorable touch that reflected his warm and generous nature. He also surprised us with additional stops that weren’t part of the original plan, adding delightful moments we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. The days we spent touring with him flew by, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend E2G Travels for anyone looking for a personalized and memorable tour.
My tour with Martin was an amazing experience. I highly recommend getting a tour, as it truly is the best way to make the most out of your trip! 10/10 experience, we will be back to do another!
This review isn’t delayed - my family and I have just spent the last 8 months ruminating in our wonderful trip with Martin guiding us around the Scottish Highlands. He researched our family’s history and took us to the land of our ancestors, guided us around to the popular areas, like the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Luss, and Loch Ness, and kept us full with all the best local snacks and treats. We felt like he was part of the family on our tour. We cannot recommend Martin enough and truly appreciate the kindness he showed our family and his Scottish hospitality.
Unbelievable experience! If you're anything like me, you're trying to make the most out of your time while on these once-in-a-lifetime trips! Trust me when I say, this is the way to do it! The sights are unbeatable, the guides are an absolute gem, and you truly feel like you get a personalized experience like no other! I would recommend E2G for any tours you may want to experience.
What an amazing experience. I’ve done multiple tours with Martin now, and I’ll say that there truly is no better way to experience the area. On top of that, his hospitality is unmatched and truly makes you feel like you have a friend showing you everything. Tours are not rushed, tailor to what you’re hoping to do/see, and a great way to see and learn about everything you see. A must do experience!
Had the most amazing 5 day tour with E2G tours, with visiting family from Switzerland, we were hesitant on showing them Scotland ourselves, we reached out to E2G and our guide Jimmy was amazing. Great value for money!
