I am an experienced guide living in Aberfoyle, in the heart of the Trossachs National Park and I offer tours all over Scotland. I drive a comfortable 9-seater Mercedes Vito. I offer day and multi-day tours, including cruise ship shore excursions from Greenock, Oban, Queensferry and Leith, in my comfortable Mercedes Benz (Vito), which can take up to 8 passengers and luggage. Whether you want me suggest one of my set itineraries or you want me to customize something specifically for you, I am your man! If you are not sure what you want, I can suggest an itinerary as a starting point and we'll take it from there. I can also customize a tour based on your interests or objectives, e.g. clan tours to trace your family ancestry. I am originally from Portugal, but have been a Scottish resident for 29 years, where I studied an MA in Medieval History at Glasgow University. I have a passion for history and nature, and I love sharing this with my guests. Being married to a herbalist, and living in the middle of the Trossachs forest, I have also developed a passion for Scottish nature and traditional folklore. Every day I am thankful for living in the most beautiful place in the world, and having the opportunity to raise my children here. I offer tours all year long, though the summer gets very busy, so best contact me with as much notice as possible! In my other life, I am a linguist, specializing in interpreting and translation, and I have interpreted for many world leaders and heads of state, such as King Charles III. I am also a professional percussionist with a BA(Hons) in Music, specializing in Taiko (Japanese percussion), and I have had the privilege to travel and perform all over the world. I have been a full-time driver-guide in Scotland since 2021, running my own company called E2G Tours Ltd. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to customize any of my tours - everything can be changed to match your wishes! Child seats available - always happy to accommodate families! I am also: - A member of SITOA - the Scottish Independent Tour Operators Association. - Insured to work as a driver-guide. - A certified First Aider.
