An excellent and pleasant guide and driver with an incredible predisposition.
A true Scottish gentleman and exonerate local knowledge. We were a group of 6 friends. Thank you George!

Just a wee dram! - We had a wonderful day with George, our tour guide. He picked us up promptly. He communicated with us before pick up. He made sure that we ate at an appropriate time. He also made sure that I made it to my favorite distillery (Glenfiddich), but that I also experienced different whiskies as well. He made sure that we arrived for our tours at the distillery and at the cooperage with plenty of time. He also made sure that we arrived back at our hotel in time for our dinner reservation. We couldn’t have been happier! Thank you, George!

Great tour - We loved our distilleries tour. George was very informative and helpful. Recommend you book months in advance for some distilleries but let George know what you want. He will make it happen.

Great driver, highly recommended - The tour we took from Inverness to a few Speyside distilleries and the Speyside Cooperage was one of the hoghlighrs of our Scotland trip. George helped us with pronunciations and how to do a roundabout, and generally set us up to have a great day.
Our stops included:
Glenfarclas Distillery
Speyside Cooperage
Glenfiddich
Glenallachie

A great day with a few drams! - A great day out with our guide George. It was everything we expected it to be with a personal touch. George was knowledgeable, funny and when there was a few glitches because of unadvertised distillery closures - it is the off season - he sorted everything out quickly.
All the stops along the tour were excellent, enough time and very relaxing.
We recommend a full day with George and will do it again when we come back next time!

Change the time and made us miss the tour!!! - Viator gave us a different time initially (10 am) the tour company called us the day before to inform us about the time change but we had terrible reception at the hotel we stayed so I didn’t get the call or the email! Operator called us 8 am on the day but we were 10 miles away and told us they cannot wait! We lost money on this tour! Won’t be using visitor again for any tours!
