We had the most rememberable Scotland experience with Skak! He was attentive to all our needs from needing Gluten Free and one had motion sickness. Shak spent all the extra time we needed to see all the stops in the itinerary. We had the best of time. Shak has great humor and made us laugh all along the way. When you book this tour...ask for Shak! You will not be disappointed.

Full day out in the highlands getting a feel of the country. Beautiful scenery and hearing stories made it special. Inveraray Castle and riding through Glencoe were just some of the special highlights we saw.

Ruthie_S

We loved our trip to the Highlands with David as our guide! He knew the best places to go and made sure we were comfortable and had food stops. He went out of his way to find the coos for us to meet! The coos, the highland scenery and Inverary Castle were our favorites. Highly recommend visiting Inverary Castle and the gardens.

We wished we had about two more weeks in the Scottish Highlands, but this was a great sample of activities. We loved driving around, seeing the scenery and castles, and spotting all the adorable coos! Corinne, our guide, was friendly and accommodating and made sure to check in about our preferences. Definitely would recommend this :)

Big shout to Shak for making this tour so memorable! Such a fun filled day taking in all the scenic beauty that the Scotland Higlands has to offer.

Our tour guide, George, was friendly and very knowledgeable. He was very concerned that we had a wonderful trip and he succeeded in his mission. We visited an ancient village. Saw a “modern” church which was 100 years old. The castle we visited was gorgeous as were the gardens! We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Highlands. Needless to say, this tour was one of the very best parts of our trip! Thank you, George, for a wonderful experience!!

Wow! This tour was absolutely exceptional made even better by our lively guide Shak! We did so much on this tour and saw so many beautiful vistas that I was left in awe. Shak was always very attentive with us and made sure that we got to see everything we wanted to. We now know that the highland coo’s love bananas after the carrots run out. I want to thank Shak and everyone at E2G tours for memories with my mother that I will hold very dear in my heart.

Nicholas_M

Shak was the best! Very comfortable tour, and extremely knowledgeable. We fell in love with the highlands and need to come back!
