Eoin was outstanding!...
Eoin was outstanding! This was my son’s introduction to whiskey and Eoin made our tour so fun and memorable. The whiskeys were delicious and the walk was equally lovely. We got great recommendations from Eoin on a range of whiskeys and where to buy them too. Highly recommend!!!

Absolute Glasgow Gem!
This was really a gem of an experience. Eoin brings a lot of experience and knowledge, but keeps it entertaining too, which is exactly what we were looking for. His tour is a rare find, I couldn’t recommend it more. Both for whisky enthusiasts or folk wanting to experience Glasgow the right way!

Excellent tour
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I booked it for my brother visiting, who is a seasoned whisky drinker, unlike myself. We both had a fantastic time. The tour was really interesting and educational, the guide was very funny, he put everyone at ease and delivered it all seamlessly. Would definitely book it again for visitors and even enjoy a wee whisky myself now.

Eoin is super friendly...
Eoin is super friendly and can answer all your geekiest questions on whisky. The tour takes you through Kelvingrove park which is lovely, and you get to hear a bit about Glasgow as well. I live in Glasgow and wanted to learn a bit more about whisky but I reckon this tour would be perfect for tourists too.

Loved it!
Was traveling through Glasgow with a friend and decided to try something new and safe to say it was incredible. Eoin is the best, both funny and charming and made us feel super comfortable even though are knowledge was at best limited next to his vast knwledge of everything Whiskey!! Loved the getting to know the west end of Glasgow a little better too! I really recommend the tour.

Actually quite interesting.
Eoin managed to make a seemingly boring subject actually quite interesting. I went on this tour a bit against my will - I went with whisky nerd friends - but I am glad that I did. I'm not really interested in whisky but there is more to it than I had imagined. Highly recommend even if whisky isn't your thing.

A fantastic experience.
I took my husband on this tour for his birthday, and it was an incredible experience for both of us. He is Scottish and knows quite a bit about whisky, while I had no idea, but we still enjoyed it immensely.
Eoin is an excellent guide; he makes the whole group feel comfortable from the start and creates a very pleasant and fun atmosphere (although I suppose the whisky helps too 😄). Additionally, he speaks Spanish quite well, and although the tour was in English, he took the time to explain some things to me in Spanish.
I totally recommend it!
