Private Whisky Tours from Glasgow & Edinburgh

Scotland's whisky heritage deserves more than a tasting room and a gift shop, and that's exactly what a private whisky tour with Tour Guide Scotland delivers. Whether you're after a single dramtastic day exploring Glasgow's own distilleries or a multi-day journey through Scotland's whisky regions, every tour is planned entirely around your group, with a maximum of seven guests and no strangers along for the ride.

James is a Scottish Whisky Ambassador with a background in hospitality, and he personally guides every whisky tour rather than handing you off to a generic driver. From Glengoyne and Auchentoshan to Clydeside, our Glasgow whisky day tour takes in some of the finest distilleries on the doorstep of the city, with tastings, stories, and genuine expertise woven through every stop. For those wanting to go further, our multi-day whisky tours travel deeper into Scotland's distilling regions, giving you time to explore at a proper pace rather than rushing between stops.

Day tours are priced at a fixed £695, while multi-day tours are priced at £895 per day, both covering your private guide and vehicle with nothing added on. Every listed itinerary can be adapted, and if you have particular distilleries or regions in mind, we're happy to design a bespoke whisky tour entirely around your interests.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend. Browse our full range of private whisky tours from Glasgow and Edinburgh below, and get in touch to start planning your dram of a lifetime.
