This was our first time in Scotland and it was an absolutely great experience! George was the best! He taught us a lot of history in between some great whiskey tastings. We would absolutely recommend to anymore visiting the area

Stephanie_C

George was an excellent guide and ensured the day ran smoothly. He was fantastic and showed us so much on the way to our destinations. I would recommend this tour!

George led us on a wonderful whisky tasting tour. Not only does he have a good knowledge of whisky but he knows the region. He took us off the main roads to see beautiful scenery and places that interested us. We had a great time!

Our guide, George is nice, personable, and definitely knows his way around the highlands. The tour lasted all day, be prepared to bring or buy your own lunch, as only one bottle of water was provided, as stated. He picked us up and dropped us off right at our hotel. If you're looking for a whisky tasting tour, this is not it. First distillery we got a half-price tour with 2 tastings because there was construction in the still room, we couldn't go in and see the stills. They also don't toast the barley there anymore, so didn't see that. Second distillery had an event going on, no tour or tastings but you could buy a drink. Third distillery closed for tours. Disappointing because George told us he'd been doing tours for over 20 years. Just think a check should have been made beforehand regarding availability at all the distilleries. We went instead to Dunrobin Castle, which was phenomenal and should be added to the tour regularly. George did feel bad about the last distillery being closed and took us to a little whisky shop in a small town where we got one free tasting. Good day overall, nice being chauffeured around the wonderful highlands. If you want to tour the highlands and don't care that much about whisky tasting, take this tour. If you're serious about whisky tasting, there might be better options

We had a fantastic tour with George, visiting lesser know distilleries plus the cooperage. George is knowledgeable and fun. Recommended.

Anne_L

Visit tour at one of the distilleries was amazing. Tour guide was very experienced of the Highlands area and we even stopped in couple surprise sights on the way. Day well spent!

Rose_M

We had an amazing time with Nigel. He spent the whole day with us and took us to two distilleries, Dunrobbin Castle, and made so many fun stops along the way.

MARC_B

George was great by adapting the tour to our needs. By far, Clynelish distillery tour was the most impressive. Glenmorangie was too commercial and Balblair disappointing.

Jill_P

George was excellent. He took us to 4 distilleries and was able to tell us all about the local history along the way. It was a more personalized experience. Some tours might have cancelled us due to no other bookings but George took us. We are recommending him to our friends!

Donna_R

We got more than a tour of distilleries, we got great insights into the history and culture all around us. This is a must do tour!
