- The Kelpies & The Helix - Heading to Falkirk, we will take you to the tallest Equine Statues in the world, two legendary Scottish Sea Horses known as ‘Kelpies’. Weighing at 300 tons each and 100 feet tall, they are a feat of engineering.
- Stirling - Next on the itinerary is Stirling, often referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’. Stirling is a beautiful city with a centre featuring historic streets and independent shops. We estimate that your stay here will be around 90 minutes. If you choose to do so, we can take you to Stirling Castle and/or the Wallace Monument while in Stirling, but both have an admission charge should you decide to visit inside.
- Doune Castle - Doune Castle was featured in the TV hit series Outlander, it was Winterfell in the Game of Thrones pilot, and it was where most of Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed. We will do a quick stop here if you are a fan of any of these shows for some pictures outside.
-
Sweeney’s Cruise Co Loch Lomond - Our last featured attraction: a Cruise on Loch Lomond. The 1hr ‘Experience’ cruise with a sailing time of 3:30pm is the only one suitable to fit our schedule.
Prices start at £16.50 for an Adult with various packages for Families and Young Adults. - Luss - If a cruise is not to your liking, we will take you to Luss, hailed as the most beautiful village in Scotland. Luss is nestled on the banks of Loch Lomond, this conservation village features incredible views of the loch, quaint historic cottages with colourful gardens, and a ‘hogback Viking gravestone’ - a rare type of Viking gravestone only found on the British Isles.

Amazing Day Tour Made Extra Special! - Would recommend E2G Tours to everyone. The three of us had such a wonderful day-tour to Kelpies in Falkirk, Sterling Castle, and Luss on Loch Lomond and more! Chrissie was the best!!! We had a delicious lunch in a pub and shopped in unique ahops Chrissie recommended. We felt like we had known her forever and she personalized the tour to some family things I mentioned to her which made it extra special!! Chrissie even found the church that was most likely the church where my great-great-grandparents were married in Falkirk!! She found the hidden castle remains from my husband’s side of the family also. That was all so special and above and beyond. We even got to see coos and the girls were able to feed them, which they loved.😊 I would make put more stars if possible for this company. What a great way to see so much in a day and feel like we make a friend at the same time.

Great day in Scotland with Jimmy. - Viator never disappoints. Great tour with great driver, Jimmy. He was very accommodating to our group of 8. Had nice van with microphone so we could all hear what he was saying. He knew the area extremely well and had lots of fun stories to tell about the places we stopped.

Best stop of our cruise - This tour was the highlight of our cruise! Phil was our driver and he was amazing from the start. A few days before the tour he messaged me to make sure there was nothing else I wanted to see while I was in Scotland. He catered our tour to what we wanted to see most. He checked in again the day before and the morning of to make sure we would have no issues finding him. He has lived in Scotland 40 years and took us to many places off the beaten path that no other tour went to! He was extremely professional, entertaining and courteous. It is obvious that he loves his job! I cannot recommend this tour enough. We cannot wait to come back to Scotland and have Phil show us more spots!

Perfectly paced day! - A wonderful day, fully at our pace with Corinne! She provided just the perfect amount of commentary; answering all our questions! It was a rainy day, but we still enjoyed the castles, coos, and Luss. Somehow it seemed to stop raining when we stopped! We saw really beautiful scenery and she made the most of the time we had together. She even provided some delicious snacks! We would highly recommend her and the company she represents!

Scotland at Its Best: Kelpies, Loch Lomond & Stirling with Shak - We had the absolute pleasure of taking a private tour with Shak to the Kelpies, Loch Lomond, and Stirling Castle — and it was truly the highlight of our trip to Scotland! From start to finish, Shak went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable, comfortable, and enriching experience. His knowledge of Scottish history, legends, and local culture is impressive, and he shares it with such passion that every stop felt like stepping into a living storybook.
The Kelpies were breathtaking, even more so with Shak’s insight into their symbolism and design. At Loch Lomond, he brought us to some peaceful hidden spots away from the crowds, where the views were simply magical. Stirling Castle came alive with his detailed storytelling — it was like having a personal historian by our side.
Shak’s warmth, professionalism, and sense of humor made the day fly by. He tailored the tour to our pace and interests and added thoughtful touches throughout. It felt more like spending the day with a friend than a guide.
If you're considering a private tour in Scotland, don’t hesitate — book with Shak. He turned a great itinerary into an unforgettable experience!

Highly Recommend! - Jimmy was a fabulous driver! We loved all the places he took us to- favorites were meeting Hamish the Highland “Coo”, Doune Castle and the charming village at Loch Lomond -Luss. It was wonderful to relax and take our time instead of being rushed with a group bus tour.

The tour proved to be... - The tour proved to be somewhat uninspiring. Not visiting downtown Glasgow was a particular letdown. As we were new to Scotland, we were uncertain about where to go. The tour guide solicited our preferences, which seemed superfluous since we had engaged his services as a private guide.
