    Karen, our guide, was friendly, and knowledgeable about Glasgow and whisky. I would have liked a little more Scottish or Glasgow history.

    What a great historical tour!!

    David_C, Dec 2024
    We had our guide Louise all to ourselves which allowed for a more organic tour. We learned so much about Glasgow and its rich history that it made us regret only staying for one night. The whisky tasting was perfectly balanced and I now have a new favorite spirit. This was a perfectly paced walking tour of Glasgow and if you’re curious to know more about the historical side of the city, this tour is definitely for you.

    Great walk and whiskey tasting!

    Thoroughly enjoyed Carson’s company and presentation. Loved her sense of humor. Appreciate the introduction to the 3 whiskeys.

    Great tour and tasting!

    We had a lovely walk through Glasgow followed by a whisky tasting with Dave. He was a great guide, expertly mixing history, culture, and entertaining anecdotes as we walked about the east side of the city. We ended up being the only couple on the tour, so we were able to interact and chat as we went. The whisky tasting was in a restaurant, where we got to sample three different styles and learn about whisky production and history. The whole experience was wonderful, and a great introduction to Glasgow our first afternoon there!

    Great walking tour through Glasgow

    Caron was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The whiskey tasting at the end was an awesome way to end the day and get to know new people.

    Great Scot! Great Time!

    We booked the fabulous Wee Whisky walking tour with the fabulous “Macaroni”. AKA Caron. What a treat it was to have her for our guide. Her knowledge of Glasgow & the street art was fantastic. Her knowledge of the Whisky was even better. Great way to spend a couple of hours walking around Glasgow learning about the history. Highly recommend this tour & Caron as well 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

    Tour was not held

    The tour guide did not come to the meeting point. We were there ten minutes early and waited for 30 minutes later. I tried twice to contact this person with no response. We would expect a full refund. Thank you
