Guests will be able to visit several distilleries on Speyside. It’s about a 1 hour drive from Inverness to Speyside itself. I normally recommend one tour and a few tastings with a spot of lunch too. Here are just a few distilleries it would be possible to visit- Tomatin, Glenlivet, Glenfarclas, Ballindalloch, Glenallachie, Glenfiddich and Speyburn to name a few.
What‘s Included
Shortbread and water is offered to guests.

Fantastic Experience

5.00This tour was literally the highlight of our trip! We had the great fortune of having Robert as our tour guide. He met us with a great big smile and couldn’t do enough to make sure that we visited the places we wished to see and have the experience we wished to have. In addition he surprised us with several distilleries that were hidden gems and a trip to a restaurant that was outstanding and a perfect fit to the day. Should you choose this tour, be sure to ask for Robert. He is a Highlander gem!
Outstanding! Great day in Speyside.

5.00What a wonderful day with Robert. He was on-time and had great distillery recommendations. Cardhu and Tomatin were on our list. There were two more surprises selected by Robert. Good times, good laughs, and a memorable day. Thank you Robert and David.
Thank you for a great day!!

5.00We had a fabulous day. Robert did a fantastic job—he was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and so kind in taking photos of us throughout the day. He also shared plenty of interesting stories, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The tastings we visited were excellent, and we truly loved seeing your beautiful country. The sunshine and blue skies were an extra special treat!
Fantastic service!

5.00We can't say enough good things about Robert. He was the ultimate guide for our whisky tour. We had not made reservations at any of the distilleries, so he had to wing it from scratch, but he expertly blended in distillery tastings, a tour, sightseeing, and local knowledge over the course of the day. We even hired him to take us to a remote inn the next day, and he also arranged for a friend to take our daughter back to Inverness a day early to catch a train. Total pro and great conversationalist. Thank you Robert and thank you Dave for the communication to put it together!

5.00We went to Highlands and Speyside! He was everything and more than we could have imagined... Gave us amazing tips and tricks, helped us plan our stops, very knowledgeable! When our first day was finished, he was not only our driver, but our friend, and we couldn't wait for our next tour with him, which also proved to be just as amazing!! Don't look any further, choose Scenic Routes for your travel needs! You won't be disappointed! I also want to add that David was easy and efficient to communicate with through the entire process!!
Whiskey tour for Speyside forehand

5.00Robert is a professional driver you can trust. Being a whisky lover himself, I get a lot of information about distilleries and whiskey. I had him pick me up at the hotel, but he was waiting for me earlier than expected, so I was a punctual driver. On the day of the tour, we visited Glenlivet Distillery, which was closed so we couldn't taste it. But Robert suggested visiting the other distilleries and the rest of the distilleries that we were planning to visit on the day. The conversation in the car was also very enjoyable.
Excellent tour with David around Speyside

5.00Excellent distillery tour with David, friendly, informed, always willing to adapt the tour according to our requests. 100% recommended. We forgot a cap in the car and you were kind enough to bring it to our apartment. Thank you very much David, we hope to make a tour with you again in a next opportunity!!

5.00We had a fantastic tour of Speyside and the distilleries with David. He's extremely knowledgable and interesting, plus he's a great driver. Highly recommend!
An excellent Speyside whiskey tour!

5.00This is an excellent personalized tour experience. Just let David know what your interests are regarding the whiskey industry and he will make it happen! We knew little of the industry so asked him to set up a distillery tour, a cooperage tour, and tastings at a few distilleries. He came back with an excellent tour itinerary, including a stop for lunch and a great drive through the countryside. We had a wonderful and memorable day! David is a great guide, knowledgeable of the area, and always happy to answer questions or to just have a good conversation. We thank him for a great time!
Not to be missed whiskey tour!

5.00David was a delight!! He helped plan the stops for us and even customized to add a castle. The conversation was not just about whiskey, but about life, the country side, and culture. We would book with him again in a heartbeat 💓
