4 Day Islay Whisky Tour desde Edimburgo

A well balanced and comprehensive experience of Islay whiskey, Scottish nature and historical stories. Our guide Jaimie was extremely professional in her role, I can think of no better. A lot of history mixed with comic elements, several stops in magical places all in a cozy atmosphere. The guide was very service oriented and had answers to most of the requests. The different distillery visits offered different setups why no visit was the same. Everything from standard tasting to tasting directly from the barrels, full review of the process, history of distilleries to be concluded in the distilleries' own store where both the usual varieties and more exclusive were offered. The accommodation was carefully selected. We stayed at Bowmore house which was a delicious bed and breakfast. Very good breakfast with good service. There was nothing more to be desired here.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Stefan the driver was excellent - very knowledgeable, good driver and organised. The itinerary was well balanced. The accommodation and breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed getting to know like minded people on the tour from many different countries. The range of distilleries was well thought through and the guides were excellent. However we were disappointed with the guide experience at Ardberg.

John, our driver, was amazing. We stayed at the Bowmore House and it was lovely with very gracious hosts.

A full recommendation from start to finish. Murray was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and very funny throughout the trip. The rooms at The Island Bear were comfortable and very welcoming, and all of the guides we met on Islay were excellent. The absolute highlight was Bruichladdich and their warehouse tasting. Both the guide and the straight-from-the-cask drams made for a truly memorable experience. If there’s one thing I would ask for, it would simply be even more warehouse tastings!

Add this to the already numerous outstanding reviews. Jaime was out guide from Edinburgh through the highlands and onto Islay. That stories and history shared during the drive kept us engaged. Once on the island, he was quick to get us to our first tasting and worked to get us an extra visit. This was above and beyond what was expected and set the tone for the week. While the schedule was fluid, we did not miss out on any opportunity. Recommend this tour company and am sure any of the guides will be of the same caliber about I do have to say I think Jamie had something to do with the amazing weather we had.

An absolutely superb trip - best guide imaginable (Murray); excellent accommodation; tour bus ideal; and the perfect itinerary. Couldn’t recommend this trip for whisky lovers highly enough. Islay is a very special place with a unique whisky heritage and Scottish Routes were the ideal company to experience it with.

Had a great time! Moray was an excellent guide and had great rapport at all the places we visited. Hosts at the B&B were also very nice and friendly.

Excellent 4 day tour of Islay- everything as advertised- great tastings, lovely B+B and comfortable travel. Our guide Moray was great- just chatty enough and definitely knew his way around whiskey! Would do it again in a heart beat. (And it was cold, rainy, and windy)

First ever whisky tour. Thanks to Moray for what felt like a local's guide to Islay with commentary of the sites, people, history, and the distilleries of course. Great suggestion of The Pot Still to visit on our return to Glasgow. And thanks to Andrew at Bowmore House for great hospitality.

The Islay tour was amazing and filled with breathtaking scenery, explanations about history and culture, information about each distilleries process, and of course lots of drams to taste. Our guide Murray's entertaining personality was a great addition and he was excellent at adapting the tour around the wild weather. A big shout out to Andrew at Bowmore House for his charming stories and warm breakfast!
