The three-hours “Scotch Tour Edinburgh” with Doug was the best and most efficient tour for such a complex endeavor. Doug brought it all in a nutshell with a wonderful magnification glass. The discussions were thorough and enlightening. This did not only apply to whisky, but to questions of architecture of the bar or to comparisons with wine-tasting, where Doug also had good knowledge and concepts. The four chosen spots – strolling through the old and the new town - provided such a good mixture that I have repeated the tour a few days later with friends. So, a strong recommendation for all Whisky enthusiasts visiting Edinburgh. George J, 78YO, Switzerland September 2022

I visited Edinburgh for the first time this August, and I was looking for a private tour. This one was everything I was looking for. Brian was knowledgeable and fun to talk to. We spent half the day walking around and talking history, which was fantastic.
