Lawrence was an amazing guide. He took us to so many distilleries and taught us so much about the region. It was a great experience.

Lawrence did a great job guiding our whiskey tour through Speyside. He has great knowledge of the local history, knew which distilleries we would enjoy the most, and adapted to our tight schedules. Lawrence goes the extra mile to make sure you see as much as possible and will recommend the best restaurant dishes (if he's been there).

Lawerence was a great tour guide for this once in a lifetime journey through the Speyside region. Not only was he knowledgeable about the whisky but he knew so many interesting facts about the region. We were lucky to have such a great leader to bring us along. Thank you Lawerence!

This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on! Lawrence recommended a terrific slate of whisky tastings at a varied group of distilleries, including a stop at the Cooperage. His brother Billy picked us up from the hotel and was a delightful guide all day. He was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the day. The van was very large and accommodated the four of us (including 2 tall guys) very well. We highly recommend this tour!!

We planned a private day trip whisky tour with a small group of friends while visiting Scotland. We wanted to stick to the Speyside region. We originally met Lawrence online as his website provided detailed descriptions of what our group wanted to experience. His company also had excellent reviews. Lawrence was wonderful as he helped us design our tour. He was quick to respond to emails and provided necessary details and information that allowed us get exactly what we wanted out of our tour day. Lawrence met our group in Inverness. He connected with our group instantly. He was funny, kind, personable and accommodating. During our tour he provided stories of his personal life and connection to the area. He was knowledgeable of local history as well as the whisky scene which was of particular interest to our group. By days end (after four distillery whisky tours/tastings) we would claim Lawrence as a friend. He alone created the atmosphere that set the stage for our shared incredible experience. If you are looking for a premier tour company with a personal touch to help complete your own incredible journey look no further, Lawrence and his team will fix you up right!

We did two tours with Lawrence. He was great. He was very informative about Scotland history and the sites we saw along the way. He is very well known at all the whiskey places we stopped and we felt we were treated very special. We were able to customize this tour to go to a distillery that was one of our group's favorites even though it was further away, Lawrence made it work. I would highly recommend this tour group and Lawrence!

Myself and my friends went to Speyside for a whisky tour with Highlander Private Tours. We went to GlenAllachie Distillery for a few drams and then we did the tour at the Speyside Cooperage which was fantastic and then we went to Macallan where we saw the very impressive whisky wall and enjoyed a few excellent drams.

An an absolutely brilliant day exploring Speyside, organised from start to finish by Highlander Private Tours. Once they knew what we particularly wanted to see, they built a tour around our request, with suggestions of their own, which were gratefully received. They even organised entrance and tours at the various locations and escorted us to the reception desks! Excellent recommendation for lunch was also appreciated. A superb day out and Billy was great company - we'll definitely use them again the next time we're in Scotland.

Lawrence gave us a great tour of Speyside! We had limited time due to our cruise ship schedule and Lawrence planned the schedule perfectly. He was even able to add another stop at the last minute because our travel was much quicker than we thought. He was very knowledgeable about the distillery industry and businesses while also answering all our questions about the history d the area. He even shared a wee dram of his favorite whisky (which was very good!). We can’t say enough positive about Lawrence and our trip and we would highly recommend Highlander Private Tours for all of your Speyside tour needs!
