Great time - A lot of fun. Distilleries were a good time. The views were excellent. The tour guide was a real good guy. My only advisory is that some of the back roads taken to ensure the best scenery are a little windy so if you are prone to motion sickness you may want to pass on this opportunity.

Excellent intro to Scotch. - Seemed to be an all new presentation. A few minor hick-ups , but really well done. The collection of spirts that they just purchased was the most amazing collection I have ever seen.

I would recommend this... - I would recommend this trip to any first time visitor to Scotland.
Our guide, GARY, was very knowledable about the countryside as well as sharing a lot on information about Scottish culture.
We needed extra time at the stops due to disabilities and he was very accomadating.

A Day in the Scottish Countryside - !. Andy T. was a fantastic tour guide- very kind, friendly, knowledgable, and flexible. I so enjoyed his professionalism, entertaining stories, and genuine interest in making it a great day filled with learning about Scotland and whiskey! He did your company proud!!
The tour was a great chance to get into the Highlands, learn about Scotch, and have a pleasant lunch on our own in a beautiful town. The tour was small (16 ) with a comfortable bus, and lots of great commentary from Andy T. So enjoyed the whole experience!

To the distillery! - Eric made this trip! He is extremely knowledgeable on Scottish history, (he may be the most interesting man in Scotland). The tour was fantastic and passed our expectations. Both distilleries were similar, but had some distinct differences that made them unique. Definitely enjoyed taking the sprinter van rather than a coach bus - made the tour more intimate.

He had great knowledge of the history both architecturally and culturally within Scotland as well as some brilliant recommendations. The tour itself was very informative, interactive and good fun. Would highly recommend this experience to anybody!

A tour of Scotland, not a whisky tour - This probably isn’t what you’re looking for if you really want to try a lot of whisky’s. The tour is about 10hrs, but what you’re really paying for is a scenic drive through Scotland, given you only visit two distilleries in that time, and the cost of the tastings isn’t included in the tour price. Our group spent most of the time snoozing on the bus! The whisky we tasted was nice, and so were the hosts but overall it didn’t feel like value for money.
