Sergio was an excellent host and driver. We were able to tour two distillery's and have a tasting at a third. He even told us about several of the locations for the show Outlander which filmed around there and he even worked on it in the transpo department. Truly fun to do as a date day out, small groups of 2-3 for the best experience. We got Deanstone Distillery, Glengoyne and Clydeside. The three you get is picked from five and depends on availability and drive time, but all three of them had fantastic whiskey to try.

Sergio, our guide, was AMAZING!!! We were expecting to be in a small group and lucked into it just being the two of us and Sergio. Super knowledgeable, and gave freely of his experience....shared tips and tricks that made a positive difference in the rest of our trip. Thank you Sergio! We went to Auchentoshan (Marge was AMAZING too!!), Glengoyne and Clydeside. Each different, but worthwhile in their own way. This is a very reasonable way to gain an understanding of the Scottish distilling process and enjoy a few drams without having to worry about driving after drinking, which is something taken VERY seriously here. All of the distilleries will give you a take-away if you're driving, but you'd miss out on one of the most amazing parts.....the smells from each part of the process are slightly different at each distillery....but they show up in the final product. This experience let's you connect some of the nuances in taste to the place they originated. Completely worthwhile.

Had a great time with this tour. They continue with the tour despite I was the sole traveler. The tour includes pick up and drop off service. The drop off service was great. I had way more whiskey than expected; tour, prepurchase tasting, and optional flights.
Steff is knowledgeable and the schedule was flexible. The whiskey manufacturing process is similar for many distilleries. We skipped facility tour after the 2nd distillery and went straight for the tasting only. Steff arranged lunch to pair with the tasting.

Not a good experience. The driver was nearly 30min early to my hotel, and I was just lucky I was ready to go. The driver never introduced himself and didn’t explain where we were going. For the first 15min I was under the impression we were on our way to pick-up or meet-up with others. It wasn’t until I asked that the driver said I was on my own. I suddenly felt very awkward, and as a solo female traveler, a little unsafe. I tried initiating conversation about where we were going, but he made clear he wasn’t interested in chatting. It was awkward and lonely - an Uber/taxi, not a tour. I wish I could have my day back.

We booked the tour directly via the provider's homepage, and the booking was problem-free.
We had a number of questions beforehand, which were answered promptly and in a friendly manner. We were also picked up directly from the hotel, which was different.
Our tour guide (Stef) picked us up at the hotel on time; we were the only guests that day. So it was nice that the tour could actually take place and was not rebooked or cancelled.
Our tour guide was extremely friendly and gave us a wonderful trip. In addition to driving to the 3 distilleries, he provided lots of information about the country and made 2 additional stops for sights possible.
The 3 distilleries were booked based on availability, but were actually very well put together. Everything went completely smoothly there.
Tullibardine is a small distillery that uses a personal and very warm tour to introduce the art of whisky and its own product.
Deanston was a larger, very industrial distillery that impressed with its special history and
Cleyside is a very new distillery in a historic location in Glasgow.
Overall, the tour was a great experience and Serca Tours was a friendly and reliable organizer in the preparation and implementation.

Stefano was an excellent guide to all the whiskey distilleries and was incredibly accommodating when handling our requests. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to enjoy a proper amount of delicious whiskey and learn how it’s made, and the history behind it! Circa tours is definitely on our radar the next time we visit Scotland! Thanks very much Stefano for an amazing experience!!!

The driver didn’t give us a wee dram as promised and he barely spoke to us. There was no information or commentary at all. It was odd and unsettling.

This was a fantastic tour. Stef, the tour guide and driver, was extremely friendly and kind. He provided interesting information along the way and made for a very relaxing tour experience. He made sure the distillery admission process would be quick and easy. He arrived on time for hotel pick-up and was very accommodating. It was a flawless experience.
The distilleries are really interesting and informative. Passionate and experience staff at both locations.

A very pleasant way to spend a day. All the distilleries were very friendly and the staff's passions for what they do shines through in everything they say. Nice to see the scenery moving between the stops and especially if you have a good tour guide which we did. Speaking of... our tour guide was AMAZING! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Great conversationalist and truly went out of his way to ensure we had a amazing trip. I cannot sing his praises enough.
