Great for whisky lovers of any level. We learned a ton of history about Glasgow and their whisky. Our guide Neal was very knowledgeable and friendly and provided lots of great information and was able to show us some pretty excellent pubs. You can tell he loves his job and it shows through his professionalism.
Thanks for the lovely words, James. It was our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed the tour. Slainte!
Even the weather didn't dampen our spirits on this fabulous Glasgow walking tour. Neil was a perfect guide who knew the history and of course was very knowledgeable about the whiskey. The whiskey tasting was in lovely, different city centre pubs/bars, each with a story to tell. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in history, walking and whiskey of course. Thank you again!
Amazing. Thanks for joining us and the great review. It was our pleasure to share the stories of Glasgow and whisky (along with a few drams)! Slainte!
Our guide Neill Murphy was excellent in his knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject of whisky and Glasgow. The tournament was educational and entertaining and I highly recommend it.
It was our pleasure! Thanks for joining us and seeing what Glasgow (and whisky) has to offer. Hopefully we see you again. Slainte!
My wife and I do similar tours in almost every city we visit and this was one of the best, if not, the best! Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. We learned about whiskey but it wasn’t pretentious — after explaining that she doesn’t love straight spirits, my wife was offered ginger ale to mix with her scotch in every pub we visited. We were able to see some hidden gems that we would have never found on our own, or even been allowed into! We sampled scotch at a private members only club. We will definitely remember this experience for years to come!
Wow, that's an awesome review!! We love to hear this is how you felt. Thanks for coming to our fair city and I hope we see you again!! Safe travels. Slainte!
Great history tour of Glasgow and whisky. I had spent days in Glasgow before but after this tour, I was more excited about exploring and learning more about Glasgow. The guide introduced us to fun local pubs and whisky’s and gave us more to explore on our own.
Great to hear, Glasgow is an amazing city to explore. It was our pleasure to give you a lovely, whisky intro to it!! Slainte!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Whisky Walking Tour in Glasgow with Neil. Neil was an excellent and knowledgable guide - both about Glasgow and whisky. He was friendly, informative and passionate about Glasgow and whisky. The three venues were well chosen, from the oldest pub to a whisky club. We had never been to Glasgow before and it was great to walk the city with a knowledgeable local. Neither of us normally drink whisky and it was great to learn the whisky distillation process, and the different tastes of whisky. We enjoyed our afternoon and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow. Raewyn and Dave
Thanks both. So glad you had a great time visiting Glasgow - a few drams along the way and good chat always helps, too! Slainte!
I had a great time on this tour. We visited three pubs/bars and tasted three different Scotch whiskeys. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, both on Scotch itself (I believe he wrote a book on the subject) and on the history of Glasgow. Highly recommend taking the tour and then picking your favorite pub to return to afterwards.
Thanks so much, Jonathan. And that’s a great tip! These bars are amazing, hidden gems. See you again, hopefully! Slàinte!
It was fabulous. Neil was a warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate guide who tailored the whisky choices to the tastes of our group. He answered all our questions about whisky, Glasgow history and current events generously. Neil’s approach to whiskey is accessible and not pretentious. It was lovely afternoon and we kinda want to be friends with him now ! Glasgow is a great city and Neil’s tour was a great intro to it and to Scotch! Pro tip: don’t wear a football jersey/colours on this tour; they won’t let you into the bars. This is a “must do” in Glasgow!
Amazing, so glad you had such a good time. It was a great afternoon! And, a great reminder for other guests that football colours are generally not allowed in pubs ;) Thanks again and safe travels! Until the next time, slainte!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our day out with the Rogue Pub Crawl team, the whisky's we sampled were delicious and the chat very informative, the final pub / venue was really nice and the last 2 whisky's we tasted in there were superb, i'm going to join that private members club to enjoy for ourselves in the near future
Thanks for the great review, Brian. Really glad you enjoyed it, especially as you are locals - always great to surprise with some things you don’t know about Glasgow and introduce new whiskies! Slàinte!
We went along to Dram Jam at the Old Toll Bar. What an amazing night! Great atmosphere with like minded people. Neill and John were really knowledgeable and passionate about whisky and local suppliers. No worries if you're not a massive whisky fan either as their alternative cocktails were amazing! Id really recommend this as a night out.
Amazing! So glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!! See you again hopefully. Slainte!
