Yes, the Laphroaig Distillery is definitely worth visiting when you're in Scotland, especially if you're a fan of good Scottish whisky. This historic distillery is known for its aged and peaty spirits, which many consider to be among the best single-malt whiskies in the world. Tours to this hard-to-reach distillery are the easiest way to get there and back, knowing you've got a designated driver ready to get behind the wheel.

Per one customer who booked the 4-Day Islay Whisky Tour from Edinburgh, "This was well worth the cost to have all the details taken care of in advance. Moray was a great guide, and the quantity/variety/pace of the experiences at the various distilleries (and the Whisky Vault) was pretty perfect. (But when they tell you you need dinner reservations in Bowmore, you really do—even for one.)"
