Our guide was great and we learned so much about how whiskey is made. Good information on the different areas that whiskey comes from and the differences in how they taste. Great experience and loved that we got to take our tasting glasses with us.

Ask for Fred! He was simply the most amazing storyteller! I was in Edinburgh with my family and not all of them understand English. They were laughing along the whole tour, simply because Fred was too funny. Recommended 💘 thank you Fred

Through this experience, I discovered all the nuances of Scotch whisky. In particular, the connection between whisky and the different regions of Scotland. A truly wonderful experience

A very fun tour with Cassandra (I think that was her name!) Guide was very knowledgeable with lots of stories and entertaining mannerisms to give a bit more character. The whole group, I'm sure, felt included with occasional volunteers sought. My partner and I did feel that some of the stories were long-winded and more about them history of Edinburgh rather than a haunted ghost tour. We were, too, disappointed that so little of it was actually 'underground'. Despite that, a very fun experience.
