Whisky Galore! Two Brand New Tours For 2011
 Luxury small group tour company Rabbie’s
Trail Burners is launching two brand new
tours to tease the palette - eight days
of immersion in a whisky connoisseur’s
dream, taking in the most famous whisky
producing regions in the world.
The Whisky Coast Explorer tour includes
the opportunity to visit a host of
distilleries in Scotland’s Highland,
Islay and Island regions including
Kilchoman, Bruichladdich, Bowmore,
Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Oban.
First, visit the beautiful island of
Islay, renowned for its peaty, smoky
malt whiskies before enjoying a four
island feast including the rolling
mountains of Mull, spiritual and ever
peaceful island of Iona, the
extraordinary view over the dramatic
basalt columns on Staffa and the
majestic rugged landscapes of Skye.
Tour departs from Edinburgh and Glasgow
on Fridays (returning to Edinburgh only)
starting from 29 April 2011 and costs
£478 for adults, £448 for concessions.
The Islay, Edinburgh and Speyside tour
starts by taking in the famous Islay
distilleries of Bowmore, Kilchoman,
Bruichladdich, Ardbeg and Laphroaig
followed by a trip to Oban, and its
distillery. The next two nights are
spent soaking up culture and history in
the city of Edinburgh, where guests can
continue the whisky theme with a visit
to The Scotch Malt Whisky Experience to
see the world’s largest whisky
collection of over 3,000 bottles.
The tour then continues north to
Speyside, home to more than half of
Scotland's malt whisky distilleries,
including stops at Dalwhinnie, Benromach
and Glenlivet as well as the Speyside
Cooperage to see how barrels are made.
The tour also takes in Loch Fyne, Loch
Lomond, Cairngorm National Park,
Balmoral and historic Dunkeld.
Tour departs from Edinburgh and Glasgow
on Fridays (returning to Edinburgh only)
starting from 29 April 2011 and costs
£348 for adults, £328 for concessions.
All accommodation is charged separately
to suit individual tastes and budgets
but both trips include the opportunity
to stay at the beautiful self-catering
Bowmore Cottages, within the grounds of
the distillery.
Time off the bus is very important to
Rabbie's Small Group Tours and the team
has personally researched and tested
every stop on every route to ensure
visitors are seeing the very best of
what Scotland has to offer. Combining
comfort with fun, history, anecdotes and
in-depth knowledge brings the authentic
Scotland to life. All trips are
restricted to 16 passengers, to ensure
these intimate tours take visitors off
the beaten track to experience the real
Scotland, its people and culture.
Rabbie's guarantees visitors will enjoy
their trip – or their money back.
