We had such a wonderful experience on our tour. We were on our honeymoon and the only two people on the tour that day. It was a very intimate and informative day. We loved getting to hear all about the local history and new development around Aberdeenshire. We would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. And the homemade snack were a delicious bonus!

Excellent tour of the castles and the Glen Garioch distillery. It was good to see a restored castle and one that more in ruins. The one in ruins left a lot for the imagination. Jacqueline also provided snakes along the way for a taste of the local fair.

This tour was an absolute delight. I was a bit spoiled as I was the only person on the tour! My guide was Jacqueline (I hope I'm spelling that right) and she was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly!
We hit all the sites as listed except by choice we skipped Formartine's and went to Barra Castle Farm Shop instead for fresh berries. We had a small picnic outside Tolquhon Castle. In addition to berries, Jacqueline provided lots of local nibbles: oat crackers, local cheeses, sausage roll, scotch egg, and local assortment of drinks!
I would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to get a true taste of Scotland! Castles, a distillery, and local nibbles - nothing not to like. Thanks for a very special experience!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
