Itinerary

  1. 1
    Scottish Highlands

    Guests will be able to visit several distilleries on Speyside. It’s about a 1 hour drive from Inverness to Speyside itself. I normally recommend one tour and a few tastings with a spot of lunch too. Here are just a few distilleries it would be possible to visit- Tomatin, Glenlivet, Glenfarclas, Ballindalloch, Glenallachie, Glenfiddich and Speyburn to name a few.

    1h Admission free

Our tour with Robert was wonderful. He took us to several distilleries, some that we knew and others that were new to us. Very knowledgeable about whisky and the local area.

Speyside Tour

Enjoyed a beautiful drive through Speyside with Robert. He kept us well entertained and informed. We experienced 3 distilleries with tastings plus a couple of stops to see interesting sights. Robert also found us a great lunch place in a charming town. He was prompt and helpful with funny narratives and took MANY 😁 photos of us. We had a really enjoyable day.

Couldn’t recommend this tour more!

We had such an amazing whiskey tasting experience in Inverness, and Robert was absolutely incredible! He was so knowledgeable about whiskey and made the experience fun, interesting, and enjoyable from start to finish. You could really tell how passionate and knowledgeable he was. We actually had a scheduling conflict during our trip, and Robert went above and beyond to accommodate us and help work everything out. He was so kind, understanding, and flexible, and we truly appreciated everything he did to make sure we still had a great experience. Robert was not only an amazing driver and guide, but he genuinely cared about making sure we had the best time possible. He exceeded our expectations in every way! We would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Inverness and wanting to experience Scottish whiskey. And if you’re lucky enough to have Robert as your driver, you’re in for an amazing day! 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is a must do...

This is a must do experience if you want to do whiskey tasting in the region. Our guide/driver Robert was fantastic. He was very engaged and knowledgeable and catered the entire trip for us. We provided them with one must see place and left the rest up to Robert. It didn’t disappoint. We asked to be surprised and every stop we went to was fantastic. Robert knew what to do at each place and that made our trip more enjoyable and impactful. Highly recommend to travel with Robert as he was able to explain a lot of things but even more so he was engaging and fun and made the experience beyond what we expected. Took my dad, a big whisky fan, on this trip on his birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and gift

Best personalized tour ever

Robert took us around five Speyside distilleries in a day and somehow it never felt rushed or like a package tour. He’d built the route around what we actually wanted to taste, and he was happy to stretch time at the places we liked and move on quickly from the ones we didn’t. That flexibility made the whole day. He’s also very good company. Knows the whisky properly (the distillery staff clearly knew him too), explains it without lecturing, and is genuinely funny. We came away having learned a lot and laughed a lot, which isn’t an easy combination to pull off. If I am doing the speyside ever again will definitely book him.

Highly recommend

This experience is totally worth the investment. Robert is knowledgeable, professional and a lot of fun. He shows interest in what you like and plans the day around that. It was a lovely day and I would do it again if we return to the area!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend!

We had high expectations for this experience and I would say Robert exceeded every one. Robert was knowledgable, professional and so much fun. He personalized the day to our liking. I would definitely book with him again if we are back in the area.

Great day in Speyside!

My wife and I had a lovely time with Robert touring around Speyside. We saw five different distilleries and had a nice lunch. Robert was extremely knowledgeable of the area and of each distillery we went to. He was also hilarious and fun to chat with, making the time fly by during the tour. We would highly recommend Robert to anyone who wants to have a great day out in Speyside!
