Description

Discover the rich heritage of Aberdeenshire on a private day tour designed exclusively for your group. Explore the region’s medieval landmarks, picturesque landscapes, and renowned whisky traditions, all while enjoying the flexibility to tailor your itinerary to your interests and starting location.

Begin your adventure with a stroll through Old Aberdeen, where centuries-old architecture and fascinating stories await. Visit iconic castles such as Dunnottar, perched dramatically on a rocky headland, and Crathes, famous for its turrets, painted ceilings, and enchanting gardens. If available, you can also choose to visit Balmoral Castle, the Scottish home of the Royal Family.

Indulge in a guided whisky tasting at either the Royal Lochnagar or Glen Garioch Distillery, where you’ll learn about Scotland’s world-famous spirit and sample a few drams if you’re over 18. Younger guests are welcome to join the tour and enjoy the scenic surroundings and castle grounds.

A relaxing lunch break at a charming local restaurant along the River Dee offers a taste of traditional Scottish cuisine, though meals are not included in the tour price. Enjoy convenient pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation in Aberdeen, with surcharges applying for locations outside the city.

This private tour lasts approximately 7 to 8 hours and is available in English for groups of up to seven people. Castle interior tours and some attractions may require additional entrance fees and are subject to seasonal opening times. Secure your spot now for an unforgettable day exploring the best of Aberdeenshire’s castles and distilleries!
