Legendäre Northern Distilleries Tour

Johhny who was a very experienced local person, took us from the meeting place and helped us book a tour for Balblair distillery. We had visited in total three distilleries as written in the itinerary and they were the best choices for us. It took 5-6 hours, we travelled through wonderful landscape. Johnny was very kind and friendly. He gave us an unforgettable day.

We've visited Balblair, Glenmorangie, Singleton distilleries. Our tour driver John was extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommended to everyone.

Everything perfect. Johnny was such a good "Virgilio" and bring us in nice distilleries and lovely places

It very expensive for simply a drive to three distilleries. On top of the cost we had to pay an additional 15-50 GPB per person, per distillery. The driver was difficult to understand and did not add much information to the tour, history of Scotland nor the area.

It is quite expensive to do the tour and then only to have to pay for a distillery tour on top of it. Information needs to be updated with more detail as pricing was incorrect. Overall tour was good and enjoyable Our tour guide Johnnie was friendly and obliging.

This tour was great. It was just us so it made it a little more perfect as we could customize it how we wanted it. Our tour guide Johnny was a great wealth of knowledge and did all he could do to find me a highland cow for a quick picture!!!

Johnny was an excellent driver and tour guide. He knows the area well and will stop whenever something catches your eye. Just make sure you email ahead to know what distillery your are touring then call and make a reservation at that distillery for the time he indicates. We loved spending the day with him! Highly recommended!

Johnny was a great driver and full of stories about the local area. We went to Balblair, Glenmorangie and Glen Ord which were great to experience very different distilleries.

The tour is basically a taxi. There's no "guide". The tour operator does not book even the distillery tour slot. Of course, you have to pay for the tour and tasting yourself - it isn't part of the fee, but I feel that the expectation that guests should call the distillery from their home countries and book their own slots is ridiculous. I mean, I might as well have picked up a taxi in Inverness and told them where to take me. Also, since our "tour" exceeded 4.5 hours (which is bound to happen since the travel time itself is more than 2 hours, and a single distillery tour takes over an hour, plus half an hour each for the tastings at the distilleries, and another 20 mins for a quick lunch stop), we were asked to pay 50 pounds more for each additional hour. Johnny was kind enough to say that he'll try to work something out with the folks through whom we had booked the tour, so we haven't paid the excess yet, but I feel that this tour isn't very well thought out and planned. Note that both Trip Advisor and Viator (through whom we booked this) states 5 hours as the tour time, but the tour operator insists that it's a 4.5 hour tour.

Johnny is a jovial chap who is eager to share his love of northern Scotland as he drives you to visit three distilleries. Got to see some beautiful countryside. You will tour/taste at one of them, but only do tastings at the other two. These are all pay as you go. We toured and tasted at Balblair. We have visited other distilleries and after a while they are all just variations on a theme. So this tour was largely ideal. The Balblair tour was led by Simon who shared the very interesting history of the land and farm that one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland sits on. I am familiar with the other two distilleries: Glenn morangie and singleton. The singleton tasting room was very nice and bar tenders knowledgeable. The glen morangie tasting room was small with selections I was not familiar with and a pourer who was less than helpful.
