Edinburgh Tours & Excursions

Stephen, our authentic Scottish guide, was excellent this day, a long day to be sure! We had him tour us on 6 July 2022, and strongly recommend both him and also this tour. Beautiful scenery, animals, and stops for food during the day. But the dinner stop was too short to actually get food to bring not he bus. Be advised however u r going to go 1.5-as much as 2 hrs between bus stops and bathroom breaks, as there is no toilet on board the buses.

The Harry Potter tour in Edinburgh was excellent and easily one of the best tours I have ever visited. The guide was engaging and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the city and how it inspired many elements of the Harry Potter series. Walking through the historic streets and seeing the real locations connected to the books made the experience feel magical. The tour was well organized, fun, and full of interesting details that even big fans might not know. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh, whether you are a Harry Potter fan or simply interested in the city’s history.

We had a lovely time - the trip was very well organized. Our guide/driver Kristy (I hope I'm spelling her name right) did a phenomenal job with her excellent driving, great storytelling and overall nice personality. We'll definitely recommend this trip to our friends!

At first I thought 12 hours would be a long trip to take, and going in winter with less sunlight would make it less enjoyable. But the time was well worth it and the winter experience added to the excitement as there was changes from place to place along the way, from rain to snow, overcast to clear blue skys. Our tour guild was very good and with a wonderful way of sharing history and local knowledge. Highly recommended and will treasure my trip.

Our tour guide, Lizzy, made the whole day SO MUCH FUN. My sister and I flew over to Scotland from our Dublin vacation for just the day. We had the absolute best day touring the filming locations with Lizzy at the helm. As we drove she'd share interesting tidbits of history or Outlander stories. Her being an Outlander superfan helped to make the day extra special. We loved the whole experience! Can't recommend the day highly enough.

Steven and Tony were a phenomenal duo for this tour. Either one of them would have made this a memorable experience, and I will be sure to recommend The Hair Coo to anyone I know is coming to Scotland. If I only had three days here, none of it would feel wasted if all I did was the three day tour. There's just so much to experience between Stevens stories, the sites to visit, and the towns to explore.

I chose this tour over the rest due to the smaller van (less people) and advertised hour at Stirling which was more than enough time for me to run through the castle, get some grave stone rubbings & visit Church of Holy Rude. The day was perfect- perfect weather, did all the things & squeezed a bonus highland cow stop (which I loved) thanks to the Amazing Guide Andrew. He was fun entertaining & easy going A++ highly recommend

Absolutely lovely day! Andy was a great guy, very kind, a good sense of humour & pleasant company! Thank you so much Andy! What a beautiful day around key places of the Outlander show. The pace was perfect with lots of time to see. Never felt rushed, a good balance between being guided & having free time! Highly recommended even if you are not an Outlander nerd, those places are stunning & worth being seen!

What a great and fun tour! Leo made it so much fun. Loved his stories and enthusiasm. Highly recommend. Best start to our trip. Thank you!

Loved the tour. Our guide, Paul, was so helpful and made sure everybody enjoyed the tour. I really liked that we learned about Harry Potter world inspirations and also got to learn the history and fun facts about Edinburgh. Would definately recommend this tour and Paul the guide!

Our first time in Scotland and Edinburgh, what a wonderful experience. Pity it was only a 4 day visit as in hindsight, we could easily have spent a good two weeks there ; so much going on in Edinburgh, gourmet cuisines, Museums ( some free entry),beautiful architecture, Castles and an easy of getting around either by walking or public transport. Then the highlight of our visit, the Lock Ness, Glen COE and Highlands tour with Gary..our Driver and Guide who showed an exceptional knowledge of the History of places and peoples. This was a 12.5 hour round trip with lots of "pit" and photo opportunity stops. Gary kept us entertained throughout the journey with his commentaries and wit.

A Five-Star Scottish Adventure Thanks to Martin! My group of five friends just returned from an incredible tour of Scotland with E2G Tours, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our guide, Martin, was truly exceptional. The service was great from start to finish. Martin is highly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history and insights everywhere we went. Crucially, he made the entire trip fun and engaging. Everything was perfectly organized and efficient, ensuring we saw so many cool things across Scotland without ever feeling rushed. It was a seamless, joyful adventure. We would absolutely do this trip all over again, especially if Martin was our guide! Highly, highly recommend E2G Tours and the fantastic Martin.

As a huge Outlander fan, obviously the best stop was Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)! Our tour guide was Bob and he was a delight with his humour sprinkle on all the historic info he would share across all our stops during the day.

Rose the Perfect Guide! Although there is nothing perfect in this mortal world, Rose is an exception. She is a textbook example of how a guide should be; she was kind, considerate, and upbeat. I am astonished by her storytelling skills; she made it so enjoyable that I am sure nobody on the bus dozed off even for a minute. The tour was one of the few experiences I would remember for a long, long time; it was a perfect blend of sightseeing, history, cultural stories, and fun! If you are visiting Scotland for the first time, I would highly recommend doing this three-day tour to experience the highlands and Isle of Sky.

Great trip, great guide, amazing scenery. So much to see and do in the Highlands and on the Isle of Skye that 3 days only allows brief stops at many places, but amazing places they were! Wouldn't hesitate to return and I'd be happy to use the same tour company again!

It was a fast-paced adventure, diving deep into the culture with our Scottish guide, who made sure we experienced the very best—from fresh meals by the sea to cozy accommodations in the mountains. The roads were long and winding, but the scenery and the legendary stops along the way were truly magical. We had so much fun getting to know our guide through history lessons, snacks, and a great sense of humor. Slàinte!

This was my favorite tour that I took while in Edinburgh. Pete was a fantastic tour guide. He was funny and had an awesome playlist. He told us lots of great information that we hadn’t heard yet. There were plenty of stops for bathrooms and snacks. He recommended a great place for lunch and even threw in an extra surprise stop. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

We truly enjoyed Jackson’s vibrant energy! The tour was engaging, well-paced, and filled with fascinating details we would have never noticed on our own.

My wife and I had such a wonderful time doing this tour. Well, aside from the obvious reason that the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye is absolutely extraordinary-the views are just gorgeous, our tour guide, Steven made the experience even more memorable. With his stories, jokes, and his playlist, the experience was just memorable. There wasn't just a tour just like his. A little bit of warning though, if you're looking for a quiet tour, Steven is not for you. But if you're into listening to legends, myths, history and just plain fun and loud tour, you have to get him.

A great trip that is definitely worth going on. Breathtaking views, fantastic guide. Very sociable, he had a lot of funny jokes in his party, but also stories about the area told in an interesting way, there was also some Scottish music on the board of the bus. Great atmosphere. Only the stops could be slightly longer in one place and shorter in another.
