This private tour for myself and my husband was incredible and one of our favorite days of the vacation! We saw so many sights we would have never known about or would have had difficulty to and the distilleries selected had fantastic tasting options and a wealth of knowledge. Our driver and guide, William Kerr, was so wonderful to us. He had the perfect balance of information, conversation, and knowing when to leave us to ourselves. Highly recommend!
