My cousin booked a private tour for three of us and it was fantastic! The vehicle was clean & comfortable, Brett provided a lot of information during the drive between each distillery and he was very knowledgeable when it came to the scotch whiskey. Brett is familiar with the employees at each distillery so you receive prompt service. I would book a tour with Brett when/if I’m back in Scotland.

Going on this tour is one of the best decisions I have made. I was quite nervous to begin with as I usually travel alone but our tour guide John made us all feel welcome very quick. All of the stops and sights were so beautiful and like nothing I have seen before. The people on the tour were also very kind. Highly recommend!

This tour has 3 different and unique distilleries. Macallan was a must see for us and when you add Glenfiddich and Glenlivet it was a win. Each one was different enough to make the day interesting, fun and educational. I would not miss Glenlivet or Macallan. Ewan was a fantastic host, kept us on time, knowledgeable on the distilleries, shared his Scotland with us and pointed out “sight-seeing” opportunities as we drove through the Highlands. Prepare for a long day, but worth the investment if learning and experiencing the Scotch making process and history is important to you. The Highlands scenery was a bonus-beautiful country!

Definitely had an excellent time on this tour and with our guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgable about Scottish history relating to the places we went to and passed through. In these strange times and amidst several restrictions, we still feel like we were able to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish Highlands during this three day trip. A must-do if you're visiting Scotland and want to get as much as you can from your time.

I had found this company when browsing for tours to Auchentoshan and Glengoyne for a day, however none showed up anywhere on google. This company however, had the option for custom tours and so I gave it a go. Euan had quoted me a price for the day trip to Auchentoshan then Glengoyne and back to Edinburgh in a day. The price was honestly very worth it, a bit more than you would have spent if going alone. However, due to the date which was Sunday and buses don't run as often, the taxi's were not an option either due to the time constraint and rush. I decided to go along with the tour with Euan. No regrets. He drove me to the distilleries in his van which can take up to 7 persons. Along the route we had a good time talking and sharing with each other our experiences of Scotland and of course scotch. I would definitely go back for his custom tour services, he will plan everything accordingly and inform you of any changes if needed or any no go's.
