•Perfect 1day trip
The trip allows you to get to know Scotland outside of Edinburgh, even If you have only a day reserved for a visit. Our tour guide John W. was amazing, keeping us entertained with historical stories, legends and scotish music. As a solo tourist I appreciated the fact that he offered to take photos on the journey. The Queen’s view, the town of Pitlochry and the Dewar’s distilery were amazing stops. At the distilery i recommend to choose the two tasting ticket, as you’re in for a surprize. This day trip is a fun way to relax and enjoy the Highlands.

•Totally can recommend
Our guide was Fran and she was absolutely perfect. She really put her soul into our tour. Even little traffic/flood jam didn’t mess her up.

•The tour was ALL about the Dewar’s whiskey tour, NOT seeing the highlands
Our expectations were not met, as the whole focus of our tour was to be at Dewar’s by 3pm for their tour. As for the “highlands” bit, we saw better coming across from Lakes District via the High Pennines and felt your tour was a waste for us. Will not be recommending your tour, unless someone wants to know about a common whiskey brand.

•Fabulous day!
My son and I had a wonderful day on the “Whisky and Lochs Tour”. John, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and the history of Scotland. The whole tour was a lot of fun with plenty of laughs with Mick the driver, John and the rest of the passengers. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

•Wonderful trip, great guide
The trip was an amazing peek at the highlands of Scotland and an interesting taste of how a whisky distillery works. And the guide was great – his name is Dave and he’s a great storyteller and a very pleasant human being in general 🙂 Definitely worth a go !

To be driven around Scottish highlands by a singing, kilt wearing Scotsman is a unique experience. Seeing nice spots on a beautiful sunday perhaps even better. We were very lucky. Thanks!

•Great guide, fantastic views and fine whiskey
My girlfriend and I went on the tour on thursday the 20th of April. Our guide, Jodie, was an energetic, knowledgeable and funny guide. The views in the Highlands were fantastic and the villages we visited were cozy and filled with great local food and pastries. The Whiskey tour was interesting and we learned alot from the great guide Ross at Dewar’s Aberfeldy distillery. Also the whisky was great!
