4-Day Speyside Single Malts & Castles
The Macallan Vault, The Balvenie, Royal Deeside & The Fife Arms
A Masterclass in Scotch Whisky & Aristocratic Living
Speyside is the spiritual home of Scotch whisky, producing over half of all single malts in Scotland. However, strict drink-driving laws mean you cannot enjoy tastings if you rent a car.
With Richard as your dedicated executive chauffeur, every member of your party can fully participate in exclusive cask tastings, private vault appointments, and fine dining pairings.
Stay in Scotland's most extraordinary hotels: The Fife Arms with its 14,000 museum-grade artworks and Fonab Castle on the banks of Loch Faskally.

What Our Guests Say
Unfiltered feedback from private tour guests across North America, Asia & Australia.
Flawless execution from Edinburgh to the Hebrides
"We booked the 14-day Grand Scotland tour for our 30th anniversary. Having our dedicated chauffeur Richard in a pristine Range Rover Autobiography made all the difference on the winding single-track roads. The private access to the Macallan vault and the after-hours castle tour in Edinburgh were memories we will cherish forever. Worth every penny."
William & Sarah Thornton

Perfect pacing for three generations
"Traveling with elderly parents (78 & 82) and two teenagers is normally a logistical nightmare. Highland Travel Group curated an itinerary with zero strenuous walking, ensuring my parents had comfortable vantage points and accessible castle suites. The Mercedes V-Class captain chairs were heavenly. Richard also arranged wonderful hot meals and tea stops every day."
Dr. Michael & Linda Tan
Singapore
Unrivalled access and true Scottish hospitality
"As Scotch collectors, we have visited Speyside several times, but never with this level of behind-closed-doors privilege. Direct barrel tastings with master archivists and private dining at Aldourie Castle were spectacular. Total discretion, impeccably dressed chauffeur, and zero fuss."
