Had a lovely day out at the famous grouse experience. This was a working distillery and well worth a visit. The tour was very interesting and the guide "Charlie" made it fun plus gave us lots of information without it becoming too much. All the staff were enthusiastic about the attraction. It was nice to visit an attraction with a... More

I have been a number of times and always have positive feed back on any visits. The setting is idyllic and the staff second to none. If you have to vist only one distillery go to this one. The food is very good and the staff throughout are very customer focused. Plenty of parking and if staying in Crieff a... More

I've done a few distillery tours in the past and this tour was one of the best. Its a small distillery so the tour is quite short - less than an hour including the tasting at the end. But its good fun and the guides are knowledgeable and full of humour. You learn everything you could want to know and... More

Last time we went it was an old fashioned, quaint distillery but with an excellent single malt. The Famous Grouse treatment makes it different but the distillery is the same underneath and it's a simple but fascinating process. Our guide was excellent and answered all the questions knowledgeably. The haggis in the restaurant was to die for. The single malt... More

A very enjoyable and informative tour well presented by tour guide Charlie who was very generous with the samples from his own private bar !! I particularly liked the super-chilled Snow Grouse and bought a bottle in the shop. The audio visual presentation was excellent as well flying you quickly over Scotland's whisky heartland. Overall a first class visit thoroughly... More

As a non whisky drinker I found the tour very interesting. Our guide was very pleasant and cheerful. Good samples of several whiskys given, which my partner enjoyed! Good shop on site and also a nice river walk close by.

Whilst on holiday in Scotland last week, we popped in to The Famous Grouse Distillery at Crieff. Being a small distillery I found the tour to be very informative and easy to follow. There is also the fun element of the Famous Grouse advertising and the distillery is set in such lovely surroundings. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very... More

Oldest distillery in Scotland. Our tour guide Chris, and indeed all staff were exceptionally friendly, and happy,and my knowledge of whisky process vastly improved. Entrance not cheap, but no worse than other attractions. We were given healthy measures of 3 whiskies ! As a non whisky drinking Scot, I only went as my foreign visitors wanted to go. I will... More

To every tourist who reads my review and who wishes to experience a tour of a Distillery, this is the one to miss. This must be the poorest Distillery Tour in Scotland. To begin with the entrance fee of £8.95 is overpriced, particularly as most Distilleries offer a discount on shop purchases with the entrance fee. The Tour Guide’s knowledge... More
