Scots' scotch whiskey in the Highlands - Peter was our tour guide who I'm glad to say came back from retirement to lead this motley group. His insightful comments on the regions and places we drove through with Scotland's historical significance helped
to appreciate where we were and what we were seeing. He went out of the way to show that to us and that made the tour that much more meaningful. Both the Dewars and Glenturret facilities, pre-reserved provided tour by the local staffs (with only the need to pay for the tours at the distillery about 15 GBP) and Scotch Whiskey tastings were excellent. The Dewars museum was well put together and the Glenturret that was recently acquired by Lalique was full of plush and glitz. Recommend the 3 Lemons for lunch in Aberfeldy.

Great whisky tour - We have an amazing time and the tour guide Scuff was so entertaining and so nice. We visited 2 distillery and both were good and we especially enjoyed tastings pairing with dark chocolate at Dewar distillery. The best tour we had in Scotland.

Good whisky bad experience - Enjoyed the tour and visiting Dewars, however, unexpectedly after the tour and tasting we were told that we would have 2 more hours for lunch at the distillery. So instead of going into Aberfeldy town for lunch as listed in the itinerary, we could only order from a small and poor selection of prepackaged sandwiches at the small Dewars cafe. Besides the poor food options it was also a complete waste of our time and would have been better to finish the tour earlier. Even if it was impossible to go to the village, having 3 hours at the first distillery and 1 hour at the second was poor time management. Definitely needed more time at Glenturret which had a proper restaurant (with a Michelin star - seems odd lunch wasn’t here) to try more drams without being rushed. Also times for departure were set but I was then pressured to leave earlier by the guide - which made it hard after ordering flights. Regret going on this tour.
This is neither here or there. But if everyone is going to the same distilleries and doing the same tours it would make more sense to include the tour prices in the ticket instead of getting everyone to pay individually at both distilleries.
