Itinerary

You leave Aberdeen in the morning and travel through the vast hills of Cairngorms National Park to Corgarff. Here, you go for a little walk towards the Corgarff Castle, once a noble residence that in the 18th century was turned into a military base. 

Invigorated by the walk, you head deeper into the national park, as you travel past Cockbridge and Tomintoul. This legendary stretch of road regularly sees the first of the snowy winter weather and crosses the mountain pass known locally as the Lecht. You'll have plenty of time for photo opportunities on this unforgettable route.

Then you delve into the home of whisky, the Speyside region. Here, you stop at the Whisky Castle for an optional tutor whisky tasting and lunch. This whisky emporium has been selling the finest malt whiskies for over 120 years and is stocking over 600 malts, so it's a real treasure trove for whisky lovers.

Next, you travel to the Speyside Cooperage where you get to know the history of Scotland's oak casks. Then you head to Cardhu Distillery, the first distillery pioneered by a woman, Helen Cumming. Today, Cardhu is the most important whisky in Johnnie Walker's Black Label.

You leave Cardhu full of appreciation for whisky and arrive in Aberdeen in the early evening. It's now up to you whether you continue the whisky tasting into the night.

    • FAQs:
      Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
      - The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
      Is there parking close to the departure point?
      - We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
      When should I get to the departure point?
      - Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
      What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
      - If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
      Can Itineraries change?
      - Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
      Can I pre-book a specific seat?
      - Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
      Are there toilets on the bus?
      - Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
      How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
      - We aim to accommodate everyone.
      How much time do I get off the bus?
      - We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
      Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
      - We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
      Do we need to bring our own lunch?
      - You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
      Should I tip the driver-guide?
      - Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
      What about travel insurance?
      - We advise you take out travel insurance.
      What is ABTOT?
      - You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
