SAY ABOUT US
Best Whiskey Tour
Calum was absolutely a delight and amazing! My husband and I were on holiday and I wanted to give him a birthday present so I decided to set up a whiskey tour. I found Calum and he was very prompt with his email responses and therefore decided to do our tour with him. Best decision for sure. He collected us from our B&B that he had recommended and it was a great place to stay. Calum was so knowledgeable about the whiskey process and everything so when we went into our tours we had a pretty basic understanding. He made the reservations for us at the distilleries and for lunch. We had a rental car so we could see the sites on our own, but we were really missing out because Calum showed us things during transport we never would’ve seen otherwise, views and history. When we go back to Scotland, we will definitely be doing more tours and we will definitely be using Speyside! The stress is taken out of the whole process and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the dram.

Travelled to two distilleries a lunch spot and a whisky bar.
Calum was an excellent guide and host. We were able to customize our itinerary, sit back and enjoy the scenery and appreciate Calum’s comments on the way. He knows the geography and the whisky and guided us without leading us. Very commendable

Fantastic Experience
I Planned a 60th birthday Distilleries tour for my father with 7 of us attending. Calum was hugely accommodating and flexible and despite some last-minute re-arrangements he managed to get this all sorted for us. We had 2 immaculate vehicles with Neil driving the other. Both Calum and Neil have incredible knowledge of whisky and the industry, I just wish I had a pen and paper to write down all their tips and inside knowledge. We visited; Glenallachie, Cardhu, The Mash Tun and Glen Moray. And many drive by’s of some others. A fantastic day that will live long in the memory of us all. Thank You Calum and Neil and I’m sure we will see you next year.

A great day out with a whisky connoisseur and expert
A great day out! Calum was an extremely friendly and accommodating host. His enthusiasm and knowledge was top-class, and he’d arranged a selection of really interesting distillery visits for what was a personalised and relaxing day. Very highly recommended!

Fab day with a real whisky geek guide!
Calum arranged a fantastic tour for us, particularly in the current circumstances with not all distilleries open. It was a really fun and interesting day, from the lovely, very knowledgable Hannah taking us thru the ‘sensory’ experience at Benriach to the massively passionate team at Glenallachie….so much love for the product! So many fine tastings! Also fitted in Glenfiddich, Macallan and Glen Moray….where we bottled our own!

Cracking Tour!
We had a cracking time on the Simply Speyside Whisky Tour.
The weather was absolutely appalling on the day we had booked, so what better way to spend a day than visiting some of the best distilleries in the world? Despite the COVID restrictions and the limited distillery options available Calum put together an itinerary that was entertaining and informative. The distilleries themselves went out of their way to make us feel welcome and well looked after, and we’re still working our way through the samples we were given. Definitely one of the highlights of our holiday, will be doing again next time we’re up!

Speyside for the Weekend
Huge thank you to Calum for organising us a Whisky tour during tough times due to Covid restrictions. Calum went out of his way to draw us up multiple itineraries with everyday changing circumstances. All in all we got to see most of Speyside and experience most local whiskies along with Calum’s great knowledge of the region. Can highly recommend Simply Speyside Tours if you are planning a weekend in Speyside.

Experiencing Scotch whisky with Calum
What I saw in Spey Side would not have been possible without the tour I took with Calum from Simply Speyside. I needed to see Scotch whisky distilleries for a university project but due to Covid, almost everything was shut. Calum however knew the land extremely well and made me an itinerary that gave me a lot of content to work with. He was also extremely knowledgable about whisky himself and that only enhanced my experience. He was polite, friendly and sincere with his work. The vehicle was clean and comfortable too, so it was a beautiful day for me in spite of the wet weather.

Whisky tour in Speyside
Calum was fantastic. Extremely punctual, extremely creative and pondered in the schedules of the trip, helping us to create an exquisite tour and to adapt it to the tastes of the three of us. Very comfortable car, fantastic knowledge of the area, restaurants and distilleries, including in our trip even some whisky classes during our driving time.

Excellent day tour!
We spent a recent day with Calum, traveling around Speyside. He gave us some options of things to do and helped plan our itinerary with us. We wanted to see a castle as well as visit a few distilleries and Calum planned out our perfect day. My fiancee is a photographer and Calum even pulled over on the side of the road when she needed to get out and photograph the beautiful Scottish highlands. He was so knowledgeable and it was a joy to spend a day with him touring the Speyside area of Scotland. I cannot recommend him enough. If you want a guide to take you on a personalized whisky tour, Calum is your man.

Fantastic whisky tour
When we were searching for a whisky tour for our trip to the Highlands, we were looking for something that would not only give us an opportunity to taste some new whiskies, but a personalized experience with a local flavor. Simply Speyside was everything we were looking for. Calum worked with us prior to our trip to get an idea of our preferences and experience with whisky, and designed a day of whisky tastings to fit that. We went to four distilleries for a combination of in depth tours, personal tastings, and lunch. We tasted an enormous variety of whisky expressions not available in the U.S. and learned about the Speyside region and local distillers.
