At JGB Tours of Scotland, I offer private whisky distillery days for up to four passengers, travelling from Aberdeen and surrounding areas into Aberdeenshire, Royal Deeside and Speyside. But these aren't simply trips from Aberdeen to a distillery and back. A private distillery day gives you the opportunity to experience much more of North East Scotland along the way — beautiful countryside, historic towns, castles, coastal scenery and some of the places that make this part of Scotland so loved

Aberdeen is becoming an increasingly popular destination for cruise ships, with an exciting programme of cruise calls scheduled for 2027. With ships from cruise lines including Viking, AIDA, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas and Azamara already scheduled to visit Aberdeen, there will be plenty of cruise passengers looking for something special to do during their time ashore. That is where JGB Tours of Scotland comes in.
