Excellent tour and high value for money!

Stein_R, Apr 2023
Excellent tour and high value for money. Very close to full score, details could have been communicated more in advance and a bit awkward communication through Viator are the only negative elements. Warehouse tour with Ian at Lagavulin was the best

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Fantastic, many thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed the tour. The Viator messaging system can have a bit of lag effect and sometimes not reliable. More of a Viator feedback issue.

Que fácil es estafar a los viajeros para Victor.com

MarielCecilia_P, Aug 2022
Nos sentimos estafadas. Pagamos US3900 por un tour Platino donde apenas cumplieron con el 30% de lo publicado. No existe van, no existe agua, es falso la visita en 6 destilerías, solo hicimos 4. En Destilería Oban nos dejaron en la puerta. No hay un grupo, una mujer nos llevaba a donde quería, a la hora que quería. Pediré rembolso del 50% de lo pagado. Este tour es una estafa.
