Perfect itinerary and memorable experience

The 4 day Islay Whisky Tour from Scottish Routes was exactly the itinerary we wanted, and the trip was incredible. From the easy to find meetup point at Cafe Nero, to the return drop off a block from our hotel, the experience was seamless and highly memorable. Moray was a fantastic guide, taking us through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, entertaining us with great points of interest along the way, and ferrying us to extra stops at the beach by Kilchoman, the Kildalton Cross, Islay House, a peat b...read more

Can I stay?

Four days on Islay was incredible. I can't speak highly enough about our guide, our hosts, and the locals, who made the experience unforgettable. Moray was an absolute gem, and his combination of stories, music, and jokes had us laughing and engaged the entire time. Everywhere we turned up, Moray was well-loved and familial, and I can't imagine the trip without him. Our stay in Bowmore House was so wonderful, immensely comfortable, and for tourisms come from away, we felt welcomed and embrace...read more

Heaven on Earth!

My husband and I just returned from a 4-day Islay Whisky Tour with Moray as our trusty guide. We weren't sure what to expect, but as an Islay whisky fan I was over the moon about this experience. The entire tour blew us away! There was perfect pacing between distilleries, breaks, meals, scenic destinations, and down time. All the folks on our tour were so lovely - we made friends for life! The people of Islay were so welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Their passion for Islay and its whisky was ...read more

4 Day Islay Whiskey Tour

It was a unique experience. I never had that much fun and also learned so much about destilling whiskey. The 4 days were filled with really fun trips around the island. Even though I was alone I never felt lonely in the group I was with. And our guide as well as the hotel/ b&b staff were just excellent. Not one thing I wouldve changed. Not one thing I felt I needed. It was perfect.

Wonderful Whisky trip.

This was our second trip with Scottish Routes and would highly recommend them. The booking process was very organized and easy and everything went smoothly. They were also very helpful in pre-planning meals for my dietary issues. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and looked after us well.
