Traveler reviews
Above and beyond!
My wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely; lucky enough to get a nice cosy group of 8. But beyond the whisky tasting and distillery visits was Tom's (our driver and guide) wealth of knowledge not only about the whisky but also about the places we were driving by. Very enjoyable indeed! Highly recommended.
Top organized tour with excellent whiskey tasting and great accommodation!
We had a very interesting and exciting tour. Tour guide Tom from Rabbies was very communicative and answered all questions about the country, its history, and of course whiskey, sharing informative stories. Additionally, he engaged with the group at all times and was an excellent driver.
In a word...Spectacular!
Absolutely spectacular tour from Edinburgh! Our driver and guide Kieran was nothing short of amazing...what a wealth of knowledge on whiskey and history! The distilleries were incredible and fascinating...the B&B was outstanding...the bus was comfortable and the people we met everywhere were warm and welcoming. Truly a whisky lovers delight. Very highly recommended for anyone who wants a good appreciation of one of the greatest whisky regions and its remarkable spirits.
A great experience
A great three days touring distilleries. Our guide (Graham) was great - the pace of the tour was excellent and we drank some lovely whisky!
Great Guide on Great tour
Excellent in every way. The whisky, the magnificent scenery, the jolly fellow travellers,the recommended food and accommodation, and perhaps most of all Roger the guide! These sort of trips are so much enhanced by a good guide. He drove very well, gave excellent information on what we were seeing with good knowledge of the history of the Highlands. Very calm and patient and a great help to a disabled passenger! Well done Roger!
