The Best! - 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!

Super Speyside Whisky Tour - 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.

Fantastic service from start to finish and a great day exploring! - 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.

Spectacular Speyside!! - 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!

Excellent whiskey tour - We visited Macallan and Glenfiddich-Balvenie, two very different experiences; all. with excellent whiskey. Macallan is very posh and beautifully laid out. Well worth the visit. Glenfiddich and its sister distillery Balvenie is more down to earth and makes an excellent Cullen Skink soup. Speyside whiskey is at the top of my list. Billy was very knowledgeable about the history of the region and Scotland as a whole. He was full of stories and tidbits about the region and knows all the distilleries. He’s an excellent driver. We felt very comfortable in a very nice van.

Amazing! - Absolutely amazing! My dad and I were in Inverness and we HAD to do Speyside whisky. We didn't have a car (and drunk driving laws in Scotland are very strict so we wouldn't have driven anyway). Did a bit of research and found Lawrence and this group and were absolutely blown away. He reached out directly and he was very responsive. He customized the trip based on what we wanted to do and was friendly, knowledgeable and really a value add to the day. He facilitated the tickets and tours ahead of time and was everything was quite smooth. The car was huge and comfortable and he had water and snacks. Honestly a perfect day. Ten out of ten, would do it again.
