Stefan was a great host and tour guide! He was warm, funny, and knowledgeable. I appreciate all of the history he imbued on us as we imbibed and traveled. I love the additional historical sites we were able to see both on and off Islay. I think the tour was well paced, even though I wanted to do even more distilleries, my liver agrees with the pace of the tour. Ha! The Lambeth lodging that I was at was the absolute most charming place and would love to stay here in the future. I would absolutely do this or a similar tour again with Scottish Routes and with Stefan. I highly recommend this experience!
