Speyside is BIG! It has to be to accommodate over 50 fantastic distilleries. The region has a good local transport network which helps get you from A(berlour) to B(enromach) and afar.
However Speyside covers a large rural area and does not have the same transport infrastructure as a city. We therefore recommend that you make your transport plans in advance of your visit and keep them in mind when organising your itinerary for the Festival.
