We love …
our personally guided whisky tours, visiting as many Scottish distilleries as you wish Our guests tell us our tours are an experience rather than a holiday! We want you to enjoy the very best of Scottish hospitality from the moment you arrive to the moment you (sadly leave) – you drink, we drive!
Who Are We
Paul – owned and ran advertising agencies before tourism. Having discerning taste buds and a headful of useful and (not useful ) information. He is incredibly passionate about Scotland making him an ideal driver/guide. (He even make’s history interesting, says Liz!). He knows where and how to host impromptu whisky tastings – that’s what’s great, we always have a surprise for you!
Liz the organiser and brains, finally a few years ago she stopped making hot toddies and realised whisky’s true worth . She now appreciates the ideal dram and if it passes her“whoo hoo” test, it’s a winner! Drink with her and you’ll understand, she still hates peat – but continues to try! Bless!
They are a dynamic duo best of friends and superb hosts – you’ll soon feel like friends or family. The Scots are renowned for their warmth and friendliness and both share a love for the Scotland and a passion for fabulous drams. Arrive a guest, go home a friend!
Who else is on board ….

“Just returned from a 6 day personalized whisky tour of Scotland and couldn’t be happier. Paul was patient and helpful. Liz was great coordinating all the information and Andy was wonderful company and super professional as he mixed Scottish history and current events with whisky. I would recommend everyone who is planning a trip to call this group first. They’ll deliver way beyond your expectations. THANK YOU!” Yonatan, Brazil
We really appreciate Derek driving some of our Speyside whisky tours. He’s a total whisky expert, a true Scottish gent who spent almost 30 years with Gordon & McPhail. Derek, now in retirement loves showing our guests around the distilleries in Speyside, sharing his passion over beers and drams. You really are in the hands of serious whisky man!
Ron, based in Perth, worked as a Water Bailiff on Scottish rivers before retiring. So if you want whisky & fishing, he’s your guy. He’ s been working for us for years taking small groups around Scottish distilleries, pubs – you name it, he’ll find it for you! Ron knows Scotland incredibly well and like Paul, passionate about it. He has been know to partake of a dram or two – and loves to talk!
Marcus grew up in Glasgow, he’s the newest member to join our team. Marcus spent 30 years in the finance industry in London, before returning to his beloved Scotland. He now lives in Carnoustie, famous for golf, on the east coast. Marcus, like Liz, has trouble with peaty whisky but Speyside, now that’s his dram – Aberlour and Balvenie being two of his favourites.
Mark has driven large coach groups for us in Scotland and Ireland, he also drive/guides small tours in both countries, a true Scot living in Belfast. Mark likes the Game of Thrones tours. He was a soldier in Belfast and offers the best city tour going, going to places even taxis don’t do. He transferred to the RCT when his British Army Regiment joined the Gordon Highlanders. Former Infantry at Queens Own Highlanders, he hails originally from Speyside, so he knows his way around whisky distilleries, he should do, his dad worked in one and has family live in Speyside!
Andrew Goodall (Andy) lives in Inverness. He’s an ex Royal Marines Commando, who served in Belize, Gibraltar, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kenya, Egypt and Norway. Andy is incredibly passionate about Scotland , you are in good hands and VERY safe on tour with Andy! Walking, hiking, skiing, whisky – or anything else for that matter, Andy does it! We can confidently say he is the fittest on the team, don’t ask Paul to get up at 6am for a run and a river swim, Andy is your man! He’s good fun and goes out of his way to help – his customer service is second to none
