Sergio, our guide, was AMAZING!!! We were expecting to be in a small group and lucked into it just being the two of us and Sergio. Super knowledgeable, and gave freely of his experience....shared tips and tricks that made a positive difference in the rest of our trip. Thank you Sergio! We went to Auchentoshan (Marge was AMAZING too!!), Glengoyne and Clydeside. Each different, but worthwhile in their own way. This is a very reasonable way to gain an understanding of the Scottish distilling process and enjoy a few drams without having to worry about driving after drinking, which is something taken VERY seriously here. All of the distilleries will give you a take-away if you're driving, but you'd miss out on one of the most amazing parts.....the smells from each part of the process are slightly different at each distillery....but they show up in the final product. This experience let's you connect some of the nuances in taste to the place they originated. Completely worthwhile.

Terrible Experience – Tour Cancelled Without Notice

Chandima_J, Jun 2025

The tour was supposed to start at 8.30 AM, but by 8.45 there was still no sign of the guide. When we called to inquire, we were informed that the tour was cancelled! No prior notification, no courtesy message — absolutely nothing. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. We wasted our time and planned our day around this. Never recommending this unreliable service to anyone. Avoid this crap.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. Your booking was cancelled through Viator, as you were the sole traveller booked on the tour and no additional participants had signed up — in line with our cancellation policy. Unfortunately, it appears there was a technical issue, and the cancellation notification may not have reached you as intended. We sincerely apologise for this oversight and for any inconvenience or disappointment it may have caused. Thank you for your understanding. Warm regards, Chiara

A Great Day!

Stephanie_H, Feb 2025

I will start by saying I am not really a Whisky drinker, but when in Scotland! However, I would do this tour again if I were to come back with friends. I was alone on the tour with just the guide Stef and he was amazing! We chatted the whole time and he was extremely helpful and professional.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your day with us and that you had a great experience with your driver/guide. We hope that we might see you again someday. Kindest Regards, Chiara

A Nice Entry to Whisky

Mason_H, Sep 2024

Steph was a great guide. I was glad to be able to change for the final stop and to do a flight tasting instead of a tour. I would recommend this tour for people wanting to start their whiskey knowledge and journey.

Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your day with us and that you had a great experience with your driver/guide. We hope that we might see you again someday. Warmest Regards, Chiara

Great for Travelers

SzeHon_F, Mar 2024

Had a great time with this tour. They continue with the tour despite I was the sole traveler. The tour includes pick up and drop off service. The drop off service was great. I had way more whiskey than expected; tour, prepurchase tasting, and optional flights. Steff is knowledgeable and the schedule was flexible. The whiskey manufacturing process is similar for many distilleries. We skipped facility tour after the 2nd distillery and went straight for the tasting only. Steff arranged lunch to pair with the tasting.

Disappointing

Dolores_B, Jun 2023

The driver didn’t give us a wee dram as promised and he barely spoke to us. There was no information or commentary at all. It was odd and unsettling.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

I am sorry to learn you were dissatisfied with your tour. We take our clients feedback seriously as this can help us grow as a company. We will look into your comments and address these with the driver. I hope this would not deter you from using Serca Tours if you do visit Scotland again as we would love a chance to redeem ourselves and change your opinion of us.

Worth it!!!

Tyler_S, Sep 2022

Great tour and super friendly. On time and very knowledgeable. Clean vehicle. I would definitely do a tour with him again.

A wee dram from the FC ...

Adeline_K, Aug 2022

Sergio took really good care of us. Gave us useful tips and valuable information. You would think that visiting 3 distilleries would be an overkill but they were all different. In my country we say same same but different - and that is good.

Fabulous time

Emily_M, Jun 2022

Had a great time with Sergio for the day. Each distillery is a great experience, especially the first one (Auchentoshan)! Would highly recommend this tour.

Ian_M, Mar 2022

Great Tour if you enjoy whiskey! Our guide was excellent! The transportation was very comfortable! When we come back in 2024 we will book other tours!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you for your review. We look forward to seeing you again. Sergio Serca Tours

Fun

Geoff_B, Jul 2021

Johnny is an excellent guide and really knows his way around. He told us a lot about the area. The booking process through Viator was arduous and I had to ring up in the end.
