Good tour - Our cruise arrived into Greenock ocean terminal and on leaving the ship were greeted by Paul our driver, he then whisked us off to our first tour at Glengoyne taking in some lovely sights of the countryside on our way, our tour was pre booked as advised and the tour guide was there for us on our arrival, tour lasted 45mins and was very informative, after a quick purchase from the gift shop we then headed through the country again for our loch cruise this was again prebooked and saved us quing, the hour cruise was very relaxing and the views absolutely stunning, from there we took in our second whisky experience and again this was very informative but in a different way from the first, again after leaving Paul was on hand to get us back to our ship in plenty time, would recommend and the communication from Jordan was top class from start to finish

Sight seeing and tasting tour - Had friends over on holiday from Norway and asking to do something different, I decided on a whisky tour it was something they all thought a great idea, I booked this tour and from start to finish Jordan and Jimmy where great, Jordan with his communication and Jimmy with the job of taking us lot round the tour, the glengoyne tour was insightful and a great start to the day, the Loch lomond cruise was a good way to catch up with my friends and see some great views over the Loch, as we had some spare time Jimmy suggested the riverside museum untill our last tour it was a great time filler, the last tour was busy at the clydeside distillery but not that we didn't get all the information and tasters we wanted, all in all a great day, if looking I'd make sure you book your tickets prior to the tour we did and it was much easier as the last tour showed it could be sold out especially in the high season, would like to thank Jordan and Jimmy for there patience and professionalism, would highly recommend thanks guys
