Whisky, Waterfalls, and Wonderful Times
Sophie was absolutely fantastic! The tour truly felt like wandering through the Highlands with an old friend or chatting at the pub about interesting trivia. The Highlands were so lovely and the pace was really well set. Even while driving, Sophie consistently kept a good conversation with us as well as interesting and engaging stories and facts about what we were seeing. We had a good amount of time at each stop without it dragging. The whisky for was also both delicious and fascinating to go through the distilling process and history in depth.
