Highland Excursions Outstanding - The Highland Excursions with Craig were the highlight of our trip! If you want top-notch service with that personal touch, this is your option!
Highland-Excursions allowed us to create a custom trip which worked out great for our group of five.
We would book again with Highland Excursions!

Outstanding tour and guide! - Craig was fabulous! He conducted himself in a very professional way, he was very helpful and informative. We all enjoyed his company and his itinerary. The highlight for us was a wonderful private tour of the distilling process. We highly recommend Craig.

Wonderful whiskey tour of Speyside - Craig is a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. Very congenial and accommodating chap! Even wore the Scottish garb (kilt)! We were able to visit 5 distilleries including a very nice tour of the Glemfarcis distillery.
Wonderful car accommodations and great companionship for the day. Highly recommended!

Wonderful time - My husband and I had a gret experience with Craig. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us into the highlands for a lovely day. We got to tour distillaries and a castle that was very nice. Craig tailored the trip to our needs, suggested distillaries and a lunch venue. He is very kind, funny and knowledgable. I would highly recomend this trip and especially Craig.

Best tour in the highlands! - Wonderful experience with the best guide! Would highly recommend to choose this tour.
The guide advised us the best whisky tours possible and suitable for our tast. He even arranged acces to the MacAllan distillery which is very hard to come these days.
Great lunch spot, and an luxury van to sit in.
Don’t think just do this!

A perfect day in Scotland - Craig is an amazing guide! When we realized we couldn’t make the Speyside trip work, he created a bespoke day trip that was perfect for us!

Excellent private tour Speyside and Highlands distilleries. - This tour was excellent! We booked a Speyside full day private tour for our family of 6. Craig set up and scheduled the tours/whisky tastings at multiple distilleries as well as lunch and side trips to other sites of interest. All were fantastic. We truly enjoyed Craig's company and his knowledge of the area. If you are looking for a custom private tour we highly recommend Craig.

Great day with Craig - Hi Craig
I wanted to thank you again for a wonderful, memorable day yesterday! We all had a great time and Brian & I enjoyed the whiskey tasting. Although he is not really a whiskey drinker i appreciated him joining me in the tastings. Marty enjoyed the whole excursion and was so happy you found a gin distillery for him and is now enjoying a wee dram of gin! I don’t think the bottle will last to take home with us.
If we get back this way we will be in touch!
Also your help in reserving for us at Urquharts was so appreciated. Our dinner was delicious and we all enjoyed it.
If we get back this way we will be in touch to enjoy another day with you.
