    Asked on March 6th, 2026

    Your website has a custom whisky tour: 5-day Islay & Campbeltown Whisky Tour which I and 5 more persons are considering to join. Could you please provide me with a quote & a proposal? I am from Hong Kong and plan to come to Scotland in early October this year, tentatively on Monday, 5 October. Is it possible to pick us up at the Glasgow airport?

    • Scottish RoutesOperatorWritten March 2026

      Using the Five Day Islay & Campbeltown Whisky Private Tour on our website as a template, we would suggest the following itinerary for you:

      Day 1 - Monday 5th October - Glasgow Airport to Islay
      Day 2 - Tuesday 6th October - Islay's West Coast - This would be the fist of two full days exploring Islay's distilleries, and would include a tour of the production facilities at Kilchoman, a Warehouse Tasting at Bruichladdich and a cask tasting at Bowmore
      Day 3 - Wednesday 7th October - Islay's South Coast - This day would see you explore the famed distilleries on Islay's Southern Coast, featuring visits to Lagavulin, Ardbeg & Laphroaig.
      Day 4 - Thursday 8th October - Islay to Campbeltown - The fourth day of the tour would see you return to the Scottish Mainland to visit the Kintyre Peninsula, for visits to the Glen Scotia and Springbank distilleries in Campbeltown
      Day 5 - Friday 9th October - Campbeltown to Glasgow/Edinburgh - The final day of the tour would see you travel through the beautiful scenery of Argyll and the Loch Lomond and Trossach National Park, before ending your tour at a location of your choice in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

      This itinerary is just an outline of what is possible, for a private tour we can create a bespoke itinerary with your specific interest in mind. If you have any suggestions for changes to make to the itinerary, such as additional distillery visits, please let us know.

      We would be able to offer the itinerary above for a price of £3,050 per person, £18,300 in total. This price would include transportation with one of our expert driver-guides, four nights of accommodation (three on Islay and one in Campbeltown) and visits for tours and/or tastings at the distilleries mentioned.
