“This was well worth the cost to have all the details taken care of in advance. Moray was a great guide, and the quantity/variety/pace of the experiences at the various distilleries (and the Whisky Vault) was pretty perfect. (But when they tell you you need dinner reservations in Bowmore, you really do - even for 1.)”

We had a perfect nice group and mix from all over the world countries which had a lot of fun and talks together. The guided Whisky-Tasting and Tours were well organized and very funny/interesting! Mac - wish you all the best - you are an example for all Scottisch, very proud of his roots, funny and deserve/protect the countryside with your own effort ! It couldn‘t be any better we loved having you as our host! Slantje, Ralf & Richard”
