Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your whisky tour.

Yes, absolutely. We handle all distillery bookings and tour reservations on your behalf. You don't need to contact distilleries yourself—we take care of everything and confirm your full itinerary before your tour date.

Yes. All our tours include luxury minibus transport with a professional driver. We pick you up from your agreed location (typically Glasgow, Edinburgh, or Stirling areas), drive you to all stops, and return you safely at the end of the day. No one in your group needs to drive.

Absolutely. While we offer suggested tours, we're happy to tailor any itinerary to your preferences. Want to visit specific distilleries? Prefer certain whisky styles? Need to accommodate dietary requirements or mobility needs? Just let us know and we'll create a custom plan.

Our standard tours accommodate 4-16 guests comfortably. Smaller groups (2-3 people) may be possible depending on availability—please enquire. For larger groups (17+), we can arrange multiple vehicles. We specialise in group experiences and create the right atmosphere for your party size.

We do our best to accommodate all guests. Most distilleries have some stairs and uneven surfaces, but many offer accessible routes or alternatives. Please let us know about any mobility requirements when booking, and we'll select appropriate distilleries and arrange necessary support. Our vehicles can accommodate folding wheelchairs.

We always have backup options. If a distillery becomes unavailable due to closure, maintenance, or booking issues, we'll suggest comparable alternatives in the same region. We'll contact you before your tour to confirm any changes. Your experience won't be compromised.

We price per group, not per person, which makes us great value for larger parties. Pricing depends on your itinerary, group size, and tour duration. Request a quote and we'll provide a clear breakdown. Distillery tour fees (typically £10-25 per person) are paid directly to distilleries and aren't included in our quote.

We require a deposit to secure your booking (amount varies by tour). The balance is due before your tour date. Cancellation terms depend on timing—we're reasonable and understand plans change. Full details are provided when you receive your quote. We recommend travel insurance for added peace of mind.

We recommend booking 4-8 weeks in advance, especially for weekends and peak season (May-September). Popular distilleries fill up quickly. That said, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings—contact us and we'll do our best to make it happen.

Children are welcome on our tours, though distillery policies vary—most allow accompanied minors but don't permit them to taste alcohol. We can adjust itineraries to include family-friendly stops, scenic locations, and non-alcoholic options. Let us know ages when booking so we can plan accordingly.
