Aberdeenshire has so much to offer and for those who have only one day to visit the region, this is the tour for you. Scotland is iconic for its castles, landscape, and the whisky, and we will experience all of this and more. To get an authentic sense of place, we will look at our heritage and maritime history, learn about the art of making Uisge Beatha (the water of life) and experience life in a castle.
During the tour you will also be able to sample and taste some of our local foods and drink, and why they have a special place in our heart. Learn about our local food and drink producers, their connection to the region and why that makes the region special.

We had an incredible day with our knowledgeable and fun guide Jamie. We started off in the charming small village of Fittie and visited Glen Garlioch Distillery, an ancient stone circle and Castle Fraser. All along the way Jamie had Sottish treats and beverages for us to sample. There was plenty of time to enjoy each stop and not too much time driving. Overall, it was a wonderful way to spend a brilliant sunny day exploring the area near Aberdeen. Highly recommend.

Fraser castle and whisky distillery which were amazing. We also visited the lovely fishing village of Stonehaven but sadly only had an hour there.

We ha the best day on this tour! Jamie with Grampian Escapes and Tours was a wonderful guide! He took us all around Aberdeenshire and we learned a ton about the city as well as the shire, the estates, and the people and history. We truly felt like we got a very immersive and expansive tour and we learned SO much! The food part added that little something extra and really connected you to learn more about the people. This tour is an absolute must if you are interested in Aberdeen (which you should be!) It was lovely to get out of the city and see more of the area.

Second tour 2 days in a row. Different guide and both were A+ and different experiences. I wish I could stay and do the remaining 4 tours. The authentic drinking place you go on this tour is a distillery, the rest of the food is local food packed in a picnic basket that is shared at the various stops like a castle and stone circle.

This tour was phenomenal! Jacqueline was my favorite tour host I've met on my travels in Scotland so far. She was friendly, well informed, and gave a relaxing and phenomenal tour experience. The foods we got to try were great and I would recommend this tour to anyone staying or living in the area. Thank you, Jacqueline!

We especially liked the addition of the food tasting to the whole experience. I would definitely recommend this tour as it includes such a great variety of locations. The guide was very knowledgeable and did not rush us through the different events.
