Privately Guided Day Tour
Highland Perthshire and Whisky Private Day Tour
Overview
One of our most popular whisky tours, experience the very best of Highland scenery, history, and whisky on this private full-day tour from Glasgow! Your private guide collects you from your Glasgow hotel and heads north into the heart of Perthshire, the landscape lifting as Scotland's Big Tree Country unfolds around you.
Pitlochry is your first stop, one of Scotland's most beloved Victorian towns, before a short detour into The Hermitage woodland gorge brings you to the spectacular Black Linn waterfall. Queen's View follows — the celebrated panorama above Loch Tummel that stopped Queen Victoria in her tracks, and still does.
The road continues to Aberfeldy Distillery, where a guided tour and tasting reveals the craft behind one of Perthshire's finest single malts, followed by lunch in the lochside village of Kenmore at the head of Loch Tay.
The afternoon winds south through Killin, where the Falls of Dochart tumble through the heart of the village, before dropping into Callander — the cheerful gateway to the Highlands — for a final coffee stop before your guide returns you comfortably to your Edinburgh hotel, filled with unforgettable Highland memories.
Itinerary
Hotel Pick-up
Your own personal guide will pick you up right outside your hotel, usually arriving 10 minutes before your tour begins, ensuring a warm and seamless start to your experience.
Pitlochry
Your first stop is Pitlochry, one of Scotland's most beloved Victorian towns. Bursting with independent shops, cafés and a beautiful riverside walk along the Tummel, it's the perfect place to stretch your legs and get your bearings before the day properly begins.
The Hermitage
A short detour from Pitlochry brings you to The Hermitage, a dramatic woodland gorge planted with some of the tallest trees in Britain. A short walk through the forest leads to the spectacular Black Linn waterfall, one of the finest natural stops in Perthshire and a place that rewards those who take a moment to linger.
Queen's View
Continuing west, you'll arrive at Queen's View, the celebrated panorama above Loch Tummel that has drawn visitors since Queen Victoria herself stopped to take it in. The views across the loch to the mountains beyond are among the finest in the Highlands — your guide will bring the history of this remarkable landscape to life as you take it all in.
Aberfeldy Distillery
The road continues to Aberfeldy, home to one of Perthshire's finest distilleries. Your guided tour takes you through the full whisky-making process from grain to glass, with a tasting of Aberfeldy's celebrated single malt to follow — a highlight of the day for whisky lovers and first-timers alike.
