English-speaking guides such as Bruce, Chris, and Ewan have helped make this tour especially memorable.

“This was our first tour of Scotland. As seasoned travellers, we consider this to be one of the best small tours we have ever undertaken. We visited Dalwhinnie, Benromach, Cardhu & The Glenlivet distilleries - all interesting and unique in their own way. The B&B accomodation in Grantown on Spey was of the highest standard. The mini-bus was modern and comfortable and the scenery absolutely mind-blowing. Above all, making this a real enjoyable tour was our very excellent Driver Ewan M of 'Rabbies' Tours; Ewan went out of his way to delight and impress us with his personal touch and his fountain of Scottish knowledge. This tour surpassed all expectations…”
