Great day with knowledgeable guide. Got to try some very good single malt whiskey and see the distilling process first hand. Some really nice scenery on the drive

We went with Rabbies from Edinburgh to the Glengoyne Distillery and the Deanston Distillery. We had a fantastic day. Craig, our guide for the day, brilliantly connected the trips with his jokes and also knowledge about the areas. Halfway through the day, a spot was reserved for lunch, a beautiful location with a lovely environment. It was very interesting to see how the distilleries differed from each other; you could notice it in everything. For us, it was a bit pricey, but to be brief: it was more than worth the money. Definitely a recommendation!

Fantastic tour through the countryside on the way to the distilleries. Our tour guide Alistair shared his knowledge of history coupled with entertaining personal anecdotes, all of which enhanced the experience.

Amazing day! A lot of fun, and great experience overall. 5 out 5 for us. We loved the driver Criag as well. He was very knowledgeable without being annoying.

A special shout-out to Alex Mcleer, our driver and guide, whose engaging commentary and warm personality made the journey from Edinburgh to the distilleries both informative and entertaining. The ride was never dull! We especially enjoyed the Glengoyne distillery tour for its depth and charm, though the Deanston experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. Overall, a memorable and well-organized trip.

We had such a lovely time on this tour. Keith, our tour guide, was a wealth of knowledge and kind as could be. Our guide at Glengoyne was a very informative fellow from Spain. Excellent tour there and a beautiful place! Our guide at Deanston was Brian, who show us all such a great time. Again, such a nice learning experience. Many thanks for making our trip to Scotland so much fun!

A great day out. Our fantastic guide Jim Scott kept us engaged and entertained throughout the day with lots of fun facts and music. Tours were well pitched to inform but avoid repetition. Jim brought a diverse group of travellers together as friends for the best possible day.
