Excellent distillery tour!!!

Susan_H, Jun 2024

Johnny was an excellent driver and tour guide. He knows the area well and will stop whenever something catches your eye. Just make sure you email ahead to know what distillery your are touring then call and make a reservation at that distillery for the time he indicates. We loved spending the day with him! Highly recommended!

Johnny was a great driver and full of stories about the local area. We went to Balblair, Glenmorangie and Glen Ord which were great to experience very different distilleries.

Good day, but prepare

oliver_b, Jul 2023

Driver was good, and we booked quite last minute, but it was just a driver for four hours. I had to pay for an extra 90 mins and book the tours myself (which wasn't very clear in the booking). But having booked balblair and Glenmorangie, we had a good day.

Disappointed

Judy_S, Sep 2022

Not being able to do a distillery tour due to the person who was sent had no idea what distilleries we were supposed to go to. We did not have a distillery tour we had a person to drive us to the distilleries and the one distillery he suggested was 45 minutes in the opposite direction of the other 2 we had gone to 1st. When we arrived at Singleton we were unable to go on a tour as we had to be back at the cruise ship and didn't have enough time so the one excursion I booked specifically to tour a distillery was very disappointing. I do not blame the driver as he was not given the details from Johnnie who we thought was going to give us the tour as we had read good reviews. The only good thing was we were able to do some tasting and when we ask if there was anywhere else to buy alcohol he suggested a grocery store in which we found something that was not at the other 3 distilleries only good thing about this tour.

Viator has to clue about the whisky tours

Siddharth_P, May 2022

The driver and ride were very friendly and comfortable but Viator has no clue about these tours and what is to be expected there are too many uncertainties and they can’t deliver even 50% of what they promise

Amazing trip

Excellent tour operator, very knowledgeable of area and history. Goes above and beyond to make trip truly memorable.

Being able to visit the distilleries despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic was great. Hope that planning will be easier once we return to normalcy.
