The process for booking was very simple and easy. We were picked up at our hotel on time and the day was outstanding. We were provided distillery options with an explanation of what they offered. We modified our plans based on Gavin's recommendations and were glad that we did, the tours were great. It is the best way to see and experience the distilleries in a day. Highly recommended.

We had the pleasure of being the only two people on George's Outlander Tour through the highlands in February. Despite our worst fears of miserable winter weather, we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day out. George was accommodating and very knowledgeable of the local history and made our day one we will not soon forget! We loved seeing all the significant places in the inspiration and filming of Outlander and walking around with a true Scot in a kilt! What a wonderful day!! :)

We loved this tour so much that we booked another Happy Tour for the next day! Our man in a kilt, Drew, and trainee, Robert, were knowledgable, funny and full of stories. There was only the 3 of us as we had to book a private tour due to COVID and we really got to know our guides. The scenery is stunning and the tour covers a lot of history and sights. The Viaduct is a great highlight especially for the Harry Potter fans but you see so much more too. The bus is also very comfy and spacious and the guides go out of their way to ensure you’re happy, would strongly recommend!
