Enjoy a day of whisky and waterfalls on a day trip from Edinburgh, led by a friendly local guide! After a stop in Falkirk to see the Kelpies, travel through the Scottish Highlands, passing alongside Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Stop at the Famous Grouse whisky distillery for lunch and a tour (both payable at own expense) and, after sampling a wee dram of whisky, continue to the Hermitage, a natural beauty spot that’s home to the impressive Black Linn Falls.

We did the last of these tours of 2023.
Cara was the tour guide/driver.
Had a great day. Cara was a very professional guide/driver friendly, informative and looked after us well in some trying conditions.
We had some pretty heavy snow during the tour which meant some last minute changes and some taxing driving conditions.
The distillery tour was just the right length and included a wee dram.
A recommended tour during a visit to Edinburgh to allow you to see a bit more of Scotland.

Landscapes are amazing! The stops make the trip a lot more ease. The waterfalls are surreal, it is just the most beautiful place i've waled in Ireland. The whisky tour was very informative, the distillery is cozy, you can see an artesanal work there happening. We took the tour for the whisky stop so I think it was too short, I wished to taste more that one whisky, maybe three would've been better.

Fantastic day trip. Mark, our tour guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. The scenery was gorgeous, and the distillery tour was outstanding. I'd suggest it to anyone looking to get out of Edinburgh just for a day.
Definitely suggest good, comfortable hiking boots or something, along with rain gear. Lunch is on the later side of the day, so make sure you grab breakfast before you go.

We had Sophie as our guide and she was wonderful. She gave a lot of great historical and sometimes humorous facts about the landscapes and is a great storyteller. We had a small group so I felt like she really focused on us and got to know us all individually and answered any questions we had. Glenturret was amazing! Very high end and the whiskey was fantastic. If you're lucky you get to meet some of the distillery cats too!

Very much enjoyed seeing the Kelpies, the Glenturret distillery and the hermitage. Our knowledgeable guide, Cliff, made it educational, enjoyable and fun! Would absolutely do it again (or any other tour Cliff was leading),

10/10 this tour is amazing! The locations were beautiful and we felt like we had the perfect amount of time to soak it all in! Cliff was our guide and he added so much by sharing Scottish history facts all along the trip.
We will be taking more tours with this company in the future. Victoria made us feel well taken care of by placing us on a later tour when we missed our initial time.

We had an incredible day on the Whisky and Highland Waterfalls Day Trip with Highland Explorer Tours from Edinburgh! The tour was well-organized, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Exploring the beautiful Highland waterfalls was breathtaking, and the whisky tasting was a delightful experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Scotland. It's a perfect blend of nature and culture.
Special shout out to our guide Kieran

Alistair does a fun history and clever delivery throughout, making everything enjoyable. He has lots of excellent recommendations and goes out of his way to help every guest. Most highly recommend the tour as well, Glenturret whiskey was awesome!! Dunkeld and the nature walk were great!

We had Rich as our bus driver and tour guide and it was a real treat. His knowledge of Scottish history was of course fantastic but his personal connection to the places we were in added an extra level to the trip. The tour of Glenturret was also very educational and really well done!
