About
Connecting people, cultures, and whiskies from a different perspective. Our dream is to ignite a desire and passion for all things whisky within each one of you. We aim to do this by providing whisky tastings and guided whisky tours throughout the beautiful cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. ‘Once Upon a Whisky’ tours are based on education, culture, and responsible drinking and our aim is to make you as passionate about whisky as we are. Once Upon a Whisky puts a new spin on the traditional concept of whisky tours in Scotland. We don’t focus on the production process or how whisky is made. Here we show you how to enjoy whisky while learning curious facts and quirky stories about the Scottish national drink. From cocktails and food to music and films, whisky connects people through a variety of passions and cultures.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review 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.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I went as someone who liked whiskey but didn’t know much about it. Cam guided us through 4 different whiskeys each with unique characteristics and had lots of interesting knowledge about the whiskeys, the distilleries and the bars we drank them in.
I could imagine if you were a novice looking for to try whiskeys, an enthusiast looking for some variety, or just interested in hearing the history of the distilleries or the bars we went to then this tour would be great for you.

My girlfriend and I went on a whiskey tasting tour with Camillio and he was fabulous. She went with me as it was more an event for me, and Cammilio managed to inspire her to try and finish each drink! He was extremely knowledgeable at each location, entertained us with a wealth of information and stories about whiskey and Scotland. in and out of the bars, and was full of good 'spirits'. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn more about Scotland, whiskey, meet new people, and have a few drinks.

Camilo was friendly and professional, and extremely knowledgeable! I learned so much about whisky, enjoyed quirky and interesting venues, and tasted a delicious range of whiskies. Cam wasn't even dazed when our 1-year- old son got fussy!

Hello, my question is: Would it be okay for my wife to accompany me on the tour if she will not be drinking? Is there a fee for her coming along? Thank you.

Hello Clark,
Thanks for contacting us.
Please keep in mind that in our tours we don't really charge for the whisky itself (Although it is included), we charge mostly for the experience and the education acquired during the tour, so, in this kind of situations we usually charge £30 for the person that is coming to the tour but won't drink any whisky.
TripAdvisor booking system won't allow you to pay £50 per one person and £30 for the second person, so if you decide to buy the tour, you can pay 1 ticket through the system and pay the extra £30 in cash the day of the tour.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
Kind regards
Camilo
