      Informative and fun Speyside tour!
      We had an amazing day touring the Speyside area and going to whisky tastings at Cardu, The Glenvivet, Glenfiddich, and Glenfarclas. Sarah, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to off the beaten track areas as well. We learned more about Scottish history and explored another area of Scotland! What an incredible day! Highly recommend this tour!

      HE DIDN'T SHOW UP ABD GHOSTED US!!! It’s been over 2 weeks and still nothing.
      If there is a way to give ZERO stars I would. I don’t know how this person is still in business! We were booked to have this tour on our last day in Inverness on our honeymoon. Everything was confirmed and reconfirmed two weeks prior by our travel agent and I was sent the emails to prove it. On the day of the tour HE DID NOT SHOW UP!!! We were ready and waiting 15 minutes BEFORE the pickup time and stayed until 45 minutes AFTER the pickup time. I called and emailed George SEVERAL times with no response and my travel agent reached out 4 additional times and GOT NOT RESPONSE. Absolutley horrible customer service. I can understand if something happened or if there was an emergency, but to GHOST everyone involved is just truly unprofessional. BUYER BEWARE.

      Fun Tour!
      Roger was a terrific driver and host. We enjoyed chatting with him in between the visits to several distilleries and a cooperage (really interesting!) Roger’s quick wit kept us entertained along the way and he was kind enough to take photos of us despite the fact that I had forgotten to put on my makeup that day. 😜 Highly recommend this tour!

      A No-Show, Ruined Our Honeymoon.
      The tour guide simply did not show up on the day I had booked over a month in advance. My wife and I were looking forward to a great personal tour for our honeymoon. It seemed great at first as were able to customize the tour a bit to our liking, wanting to visit Glenlivet for longer. We paid over £40 for a tour there that we never got to attend. On Sep 14, George confirmed via WhatsApp that my wife and I were booked in for Wed, Oct. 18 for an 8:15am pickup time. After 15, 20, 30, 40 minutes late, I sent 2 texts, and tried calling 3 times to no answer (as shown in my attached screenshot). He simply did not show up. Thankfully no money had been exchanged, as George said I could just pay £250 in cash on the day of. I withdrew that money and set it aside, but of course never got to use it. Ny wife and I assumed something serious had happened. We were upset, but hoping everything was okay. He later read my messages (as shown on WhatsApp via the check mark system, shown in the second photo) and never even responded. Not once. I’m writing this review at 8:20pm on the day of what was supposed to be the tour, with still zero update or explanation from George. My wife and I can now no longer book a backup whisky tour as it is too short notice for all other touring companies. Having to cancel or re-book is one thing. Things happen, and we’d be understanding. But to say absolutely nothing and disappear completely? Shameful. If you’re having a big celebration like a honeymoon, do not rely on this tour. Despite other great reviews, we got screwed and are now unable to find an alternative.

      Such an enjoyable day - thank you, George!
      My husband and I got quite into whisky during the pandemic, so once travel became a possibility again, Scotland was calling. While visiting distilleries was one of the top activities on our list, we enjoyed sitting back and taking in the beautiful Scottish countryside as George - our knowledgeable guide - did the driving. We visited Cardhu, Glenfarclas, GlenAllachie, and Tomatin on our tour, which was only us and one other couple. We also took a tour of Speyside Cooperage, which was especially fascinating to see. Overall, a fun day with a great guide, we would definitely recommend this tour!

      A++++ Whisky Tour
      We had a great day out with George. He had good relationships with the people at all the places we visited. It was obvious how much everyone liked and respected him. That meant we got top notch treatment wherever we went. He also knew the area really well and we truly got an insider’s tour of the countryside. The day was well paced and our tour covered everything from cooperage to single malts to blends, as well as local cuisines (try the Cullen skink!). George had a surprise planned for us, which was fun. George himself is a really nice person and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. We would definitely take another tour with George.

      Speyside Whisky Tour
      We worked with George from the beginning when we booked in March for our trip in August and during all communications, George was professional and clear. The trip was Excellent!! George provided my wife an I a private tour of 4 Speyside whisky facilities with an actual facilities tour at Cardhu. Having the chance to work with George and allowing him to guide us based on his vast experience made our trip easy and enjoyable. He provided great stories throughout the drive around the area and even provided stops at some cool locations we would never have found. If you work with George and you stop at Cardhu, you might be lucky to feed Diesel.... We would highly recommend George. Very professional, friendly, and a wealth of knowledge. A true Scot! Thank you George.

      Outstanding
      George was our driver/guide on this tour, and he did a fantastic job. His knowledge of the area is extensive, and he is a great storyteller. What a personality...a tall, kilted Scotsman that seems to fit in perfectly with the country and its history. The sights are absolutely amazing. The day is packed with things to see and nice hikes. Dunrobin Castle and garden are breathtaking. We were also there at a time that allowed us to see a falconry demonstration that was so informative. Scenery throughout the day is unforgettable. We recommend George and this tour without equivocation. It is a day well spent!

      The best way to tour the Speyside distilleries!
      This tour was a really great day out! We visited Cardhu, Glenfarclas and Tomatin distilleries, doing full tours of the first two, and a tasting only at the third. Our guide was amazing! Such a lovely gentleman and a real character-he even gave us a wee dram at the end of the tour when we stopped to see the whole of Inverness from an amazing vantage point on the other side of the bridge, all whilst listening to music from Outlander! It might have been the whisky, but I was feeling very happy and relaxed, and very grateful that I chose to tour the distilleries with a driver!

      Highly Recommended Speyside Tour
      Excellent tour! George was booked with another group, so we had Roger. He was an amazing tour guide. We ended up booking with Roger for a second day tour. Cannot say enough good things about George and Roger. George answered all my concerns and was willing to fit in certain distilleries in. We even got to spend time with hairy coos. Highly recommend booking with George!

      Great Tour Company
      George was an amazing guide and very accommodating. He was the only tour company I found who was able to take on a large group and even brought a second vehicle to make sure we were comfortable and well looked after. You never know how your guide is going to be and I was quite apprehensive in the beginning but closer to the time he contacted me giving me updates on the distilleries and even made changes based on what was happening. He recommended we do the whiskey tour at Cardhu and he was spot on with that recommendation. Both him and the other driver were great guides and made us feel very comfortable. It was a long day and we were a group of 11 guys who had been drinking all day but George was only too happy to take us around and answer any questions. I would definitely use them again. Thanks so much George

      On-the-fly
      Rogie Falls was exceptionally beautiful with a suspension bridge. Dunrobin Castle was closed for a family death so George custom planned on the fly Great Glen distillery, Robertson farm to see Hairy Coos, and the rest of the itinerary. George was humorous and knowledgeable.

    We had the pleasure of being the only two people on George's Outlander Tour through the highlands in February. Despite our worst fears of miserable winter weather, we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day out. George was accommodating and very knowledgeable of the local history and made our day one we will not soon forget! We loved seeing all the significant places in the inspiration and filming of Outlander and walking around with a true Scot in a kilt! What a wonderful day!! :)

    Our tour couldn’t have been any better! George has so much information it’s amazing ! He is so well spoken and knowledgeable 5 stars seems to me far too low. Our group of 11 would honestly give him 100 A+ . Can’t wait to visit the area again and will definitely book with him !

    My husband, Michael, and I spent 6 hours with George today. We toured Outlander sites, the Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness, the canal system, took the best photo of Urquhart Castle, and then took a beautiful backroad to Beauly (a lovely little town west of Inverness). George was on time, knowledgeable, kind snd funny. We were very informed and entertained. He can customize tours to suit your preferences. When we come back to Inverness, we will definitely ask George to show us more of the beauty of the Highlands.

    This tour is great fun for Outlander fans, and even if you haven’t seen Outlander it’s still a fantastic day out! George our kilted tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great variety of things to see and experience throughout the day. Clava cairns and Culloden are just a couple of the highlights. Oh and meeting Jamie Fraser!

    My husband and I traveled from the States to see all things Outlander and this tour did NOT disappoint! Thomas was our guide and he was awesome. When he got out of the van with a Mohawk and a kilt I knew it was going to be a good day! Very knowledgeable about the area and told us so many interesting facts that we had never known. From Castle Leod to Culloden Moor, the trip was amazing! Planning a return trip is already in the works and we will absolutely book with GHD tours again! Thanks again, Tom! And keep on rocking out!

    A group of 4 friends from Brazil and one need: to do the Outlander circuit. What we found was much better than a simple tour: it was a history lesson! What a delightful ride! So much knowledge of Scottish history in one day! It was a wonderful and unforgettable tour that I definitely recommend!!!
