I can’t say enough good things about our day with Gavin/ Inverness Whiskey Tours, it exceeded all our expectations. I planned this day for my husband, as he is the Scotch whiskey drinker in our family, but this tour had plenty of things for me as well. First, Gavin is from the Highlands so we learned about whiskey, the community and the beautiful lands. We took the tour at Glenmorangie and it was informative & fun, finishing with a whiskey tasting. Next up was a tasting at Balblair Distillery, one of the oldest in Scotland. Their18 year old whiskey is a must sample! Along our route, Gavin made time for scenic stops/photos and more whiskey tasting. He picked several whiskeys that I enjoyed and had some big peaty/smokey whiskeys that my husband loved. Gavin recommended lunch options for us and we choose an outdoors, pub lunch in Dornoch, and then on to Dunrobin Castle for the tour and falconry exhibition, both were wonderful. On our way back to Inverness we sampled a few more whiskeys and made a quick stop at Black Isle Brewing for a tasting of their beers. (Excellent!). In addition to all this we saw Highland cows, Shetland ponies, seals, birds and the most fabulous vistas. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing day (2 actually!). Gavin was a gracious knowledgeable local host and guide. He set up a bespoke itinerary prior to the visit. Everything was perfect and as advertised. Highly recommended. Did a second day of sightseeing with one of his colleagues as well—similarly great!

Gavin’s upbeat personality and love of whisky made this tour the ultimate experience, especially for one of us who was not a whisky drinker. His knowledge was exceptional, and he tailored the tour to meet the needs of the day along with chocolate!

This was such a fun tour! My friend and I went for my birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better day. Gavin was a great storyteller and guide. We tried some of the best whiskey on earth and even stopped at a castle! Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

Gavin was an excellent tour guide and great coversionationist. His collection of scotch and descriptions of each was the highlight of the tour.

The entire tour was amazing. Gavin is a true gentleman and his knowledge of whisky and the history of the area and his heritage is outstanding. This tour was by far one of the highlights of our trip to Scotland. We will most definitely do this again!!

Unforgettable day touring the highlands and distilleries with Gavin. Gavin provided helpful information on the distilleries and the whiskey's we were trying, he also gave us recommendations. A beautiful day exploring the highlands around the Inverness area and surrounds. A day of fun, good conversation and tasting some exceptional single malt whiskey's.

I honestly do not have enough good things to say about Gavin and his company. He organized a great day of distilleries and sights for us and it was easily the best day of our vacation. It is obvious he does this because he genuinely loves sharing Scotland (and its whisky) with people. We basically left all the planning up to him and it was the correct choice. He was also able to get us last minute reservations at a fantastic restaurant in Inverness and coordinated a taxi driver (John, who was also a lot of fun to spend time with) for us as well. In short, this is the kind of experience one hopes to have when traveling and very rarely gets. Do yourself a favor and book Gavin himself if you have the opportunity, we can't recommend him highly enough.

Gavin did a great job sharing how to enjoy Whiskey. Glenmorangie was a perfect spot to try some awesome Whiskey and the spots along the way were great as well!

Highly recommend Gavin and Invergordon Tours. We did the ultimate highland whisky experience (in the BMW M5...naturally). Gavin was an amazing resource and guide maximizing every moment and ensuring we had a very rich and VIP experience at all of our stops. We simply wouldn’t have seen all of the highlights without his intimate knowledge and relationships with the distilleries. Thanks again Gavin! See you on the next trip!

Perfect way to explore the Highlands from Invergordon. We had almost ten hours to spend and where therefore looking for a chance to get an essence of the Highlands in a single day (Whisky, landscape, castles, etc.). Gavin recommended a tour which fitted perfectly. Luckily enough we ended up doing the tour with the man himself and had a brilliant time.

One of the best days I have had in my home country. Born and bread in the Highlands of Scotland, for 30+ years I am sorry to say that I had never been to a distillery before, and after going on a tour with Gavin this is the only way I would do it now. From being picked up first thing in the morning, to being dropped off back at home in the evening it was a 5 star service from Gavin. The tour was perfectly orchestrated and accompanied with a plethora of historic facts about Scottish Malt Whisky, as well as some pronunciation tips for me! The day went by in a flash, and at the end I was desperately asking Gavin what other tours he does. You will not find a more engaged and enthusiastic guide than Gavin. His passion for whisky and Scotland was refreshing, and when I am back home I look forward to continuing my whisky education with him. Each distillery was fascinating and different from the one previous, with Glenfarclas possibly being my favourite. This tour was not just about whisky though. I had just as much fun touring through the beautiful landscape in parts of Scotland I had not been to in years (if ever), sitting having a lovely lunch at Glenfiddich and of course the craic and conversation in the car was just brilliant. All hosted by our guide, tour manager, whisky historian and all round good guy Big Gav. Book this tour - you will not regret it!

We booked Gavin on a friends recommendation and were not disappointed. Our trip from start to finish was excellent and I owe this all to Gavin’s spectacular service. We were picked up promptly at the arranged spot and warmly welcomed by a fully kilted highlander (Gavin) Our transport was a top of the range BMW MX5, an absolute dream tour vehicle. We visited several distillery’s throughout the day and were very fortunate to have the weather on side. As two of our guest were Chinese and had never been to Scotland before they really wanted to see a castle. Gavin didn’t disappoint and also took us to Dunrobin Castle and arranged a Falconry experience which really topped of a fantastic day. Before we left, Gavin thanked us all and offered one final tipple from his (Private Collection) of whisky. We drank a King George V Dalmore, my favourite nip I drank that day. Slanje
