Pricing

Every tour is bespoke, Packages/quotes are made up of and always include the following items:

Accommodation – this is charged at cost, although rates do vary through the year
Distillery tours – charged at cost – guests can select from a range of tours from simple, cheap tours of the distillery to more special, premium tastings
Any ferry tickets – charged at cost
Westie Whisky fee – this is charged at a daily rate of £550, which covers my driver guide fee, the fully insured 8 seater luxury minibus and all fuel (unlimited mileage)
Westie Whisky overnight fee – for each night on tour there is an additional charge of £150 to cover my food and accommodation

Rough pricing guides per head

(to give an approximate idea of the Westie Whisky transport & guiding fees including any ferries, prior to adding on accommodation & distillery tours):

Arran & Campbeltown (4 days, 3 nights) – £344 (8 guests) to £678 (4 guests)

Fully immersive Islay tour (5 days, 4 nights) – £434 (8 guests) to £854 (4 guests)

The Full Lower West Coast Experience (8 days, 7 nights) – £816 (8 guests) to £1,600 (4 guests) – Arran, Campbeltown, Islay & Jura

Just to reiterate – there is no profiteering on my part with regard to accommodation, distillery tours or ferries. The daily Westie Whisky fee incorporates charges for all administrative work done in advance of the tour. However, if a customer wishes to arrange their own accommodation and distillery tours, they are free to do so.

Tours are quoted as a total price when costed, but there is an assumption that groups will be dividing this amongst a certain number. Accommodation/tours/ferry will increase depending on numbers, but the Westie Whisky fees remain the same regardless of 1 or 8 guests.
