Great Wiskey experience and trip around Scotland. Was exactly what we expected from it - excursion around two distilleries, wiskey tasting, a bit of sightseeing around part of Scotland we haven’t seen, photo stops in the nature and around few other distilleries. Was educational, interesting, fun and not overwhelming in the same time. Guide James was fantastic - his way of telling stories was so engaging and he took a lot of care about the group of us, was really interested himself in the tour and making sure we see as much as we could. I am not a wiskey drinker but I enjoyed it so much, it is not one of my best memories about Scotland!

We had a very enjoyable and interesting day. Just one other couple and the driver/guide Stewart, who was extremely friendly and informative. Apart from the tours of the Glen Moray and Cardhu distilleries, we were taken to Nairn (the guide's home town), Elgin (including the apparently little known but beautiful Biblical garden), Aberlour (lunchtime stop) and Craigellachie Bridge. Rightly or wrongly, we had thought that on a whisky distillery tour, the admission price to each of the distilleries would have been included (otherwise what's the point of booking such a tour - surely nobody would then opt out of visiting the distilleries?!) but it wasn't, so having paid £46 each at the outset, we paid a further £24.50 each on the day (£7 for Glen Moray and £17.50 for Cardhu). Stewart was very uncomfortable about asking us for the extra money. If it was made known on the website and/or when booking, it must have been decidedly inconspicuous. Still, overall it was a great day out.

Our guide was friendly and gave us a lot of information. The small family distillery we went to first was best place to purchase your single malt as it is not currently distributed in US as they go through a distributor change so is something you can feel special about. They also had a special single cask 230 bottle run only available at the distillery for only 60L but also had some super high end options in the 1200+ range if you want to go big. lol I passed on the Glenfiddich tour since had been there before and went up to the castle ruin a bit up the road from the distillery. The inside of the castle ruin is very interesting photo opp if you do not want to do the long tour. The lemon tea and lemon muffin in the cafe was good and you could still walk around and see the two old delivery vehicles and the older non-duty warehouses.
