This is a fun tour and a good way to see some of the Scottish countryside from Edinburgh. Our guide, Louise, was entertaining and informative. Just know that other than the distillery, the stops are fairly rushed. Lots of bus time, though scenery is lovely.

Colin was awesome! He did a great job of blending history and humor. I loved tasting the whisky AND petting the highland coos! I would highly recommend this tour!
