Long-standing partnerships with the whisky distilleries visited means you will enjoy unique, specially-designed experiences and tastings that are not available with other suppliers. Long-standing relationships with the accommodation providers ensure an incredibly warm welcome.
The guides are integral to the experience. All the whisky tour guides are graduates of the Scotch Whisky School, run by the Scotch Whisky Experience on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Some of the guides are also fully qualified Blue Badge members of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association (STGA). It’s vitally important that not only do they know their stuff, but they are great people as well. They are personable, helpful, well-travelled, polite, fun, and just generally nice people that you would want to go for a beer (or whisky) with.
In addition to small group tours, private customised tours are possible, which are perfect for groups of friends, families, whisky clubs. The team will get to know your group’s preferences and pair you with the most appropriate guide to ensure you get the most out of your time in Scotland.

Sustainability and values
This supplier takes sustainable tourism seriously. Wherever possible they aim to engage with the local community; ensure guests have the opportunity to interact with local people and encourage them to shop locally and in shops owned by local people.
Guests are made aware of the impact their visits can have on the natural environments of Scotland. Wherever possible, recycling services are used out on the tours; “green award” attractions and accommodations are used; countryside codes are adhered to; local wildlife and ecosystems are explained and visited and guests are encouraged to look after Scotland for future generations.
