We had the best time with the best guide Mark! Everything was perfect! We totally recommend this 3 day trip to The Highlands, Isle of Skye!

There were a few landmarks in Scotland that we were not going to be able to see with the itinerary we had planned, so Timberbush Tours designed a custom private tour for our party of 3. John was our excellent guide for the day, first driving us to Dunnottar Castle on the coast north of Edinburgh. We made some very nice stops along the way. Then he took us to Falkirk to see the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel which were both “must sees” for us. Our vehicle was very comfortable, and John’s know.edge of Scottish history and geography were exceptional. If you decide you would rather not drive in Scotland as we did, I would highly recommend Timberbush Tours, and John, for their normal tours or for a custom tour!

I had a wonderful time touring the highlands. The driver, Shug, was insightful and has a great sense of humor. He has a knack for storytelling and made the legs between each stop fly by.

This tour was very enlightening and informative. Hearing about the Rosslyn Chapter - its rich history, intricate details and overall process of maintaining it were wonderful. The Glenkinchie Distillery was also fascinating - processes from its inception to date and how they work with Johnnie Walker providing a consistent product! Tasting was lovely too!

I could have asked for a better tour but what made it excellent was Kenny, our tour guide. There was an unforeseen circumstance which delayed my arrival by a few minutes on the first day and Ken was kind enough to accomodate that. He was extremely informative the whole duration of the tour which kept the group engaged the whole time. He made sure that no stops were skipped and I felt very safe and assured in his presence and knowledge of the country. He also made sure that everyone’s preferences were catered to and also added extra photo stops. Ken’s sense of humour added to the whole experience. There was not one day that went by that we did not laugh at least a few times. At the end of the tour, i felt like i had a lot more knowledge the country and I think it was money well spent and it was an invaluable experience to have Kenny as our tour guide. Timberbush is very lucky to have him and for anyone who books this tour, I promise it will not disappoint.

This is a wonderful 8 hour day trip. Brian, our driver and tour guide, made the trip more enjoyable. During our drive time he would tell stories of the history of Scotland mixed with jokes, along with facts about each site we visited. Highly recommend

So there should be two reviews of this tour, one for the actual tour, and one for the tour company. The actual tour and our driver/guide Mary, was absolutely great! beyond awesome. Made the whole tour an unbelievable memory. The tour company, Timberbush, not so much. First, I will tell every traveler who books this tour to get their own accommodations. They make it seem that you will get a quaint, cute, little B&B or small hotel in Portree. What they actually book is the cheapest most inexpensive, hostel, up the hill, 15 -20 minute walk up the hill goat shack. Try doing that at night with it raining. Also, what if you want to hang out at one of the pubs at night, just ridiculous. They also kept changing the pick up and drop off point for the tour. Not much communication, and when I told them the accomodations were not acceptable for the price, they really couldn't care. So 6 stars for Mary, and 1 star for Timberbush.

My daughter and I went on this wonderful trip to the Scottish Highlands and it met all our expectations. Although the weather was what you would expect in Scotland (drizzling and dreary), we still had a fantastic time. We love Harry Potter and this tour did not disappoint. David, our tour guide, did such a great job highlighting where all the HP filming sites were along our journey. We stopped in Glenfinnan where the viaduct is located that the Hogwarts Express goes across. Very cool to see. David is so knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and he brought it to life. Really enjoyed hearing him recount the rich history of his country. David went out of his way to make sure we saw some hairy coos (cows) during our trip. We made several extra stops till he found some for us to see. David also wore a beautiful kilt and was happy to take pictures with everyone and take pictures of us. Adam, our driver, did an excellent job navigating and getting us to and from Edinburgh in a safe and timely manner.

The views of the Highlands were amazing. Our tour operator Martin combined a great choice of music, along with historical knowledge and engaging history of Scotland. Recommend him highly!

Charlie is an excellent guide and the entire trip was a wonderful experience. The 11 hour journey didn't feel long because of periodic stops for recreation.

We had a fantastic time. Whilst the day definitely seemed against us with road closures and traffic, our guide Jayda made the trip for us, she was very informative and upbeat, she kept us updated with what was happening despite having to change the course of the day. She made sure to check up on us and got us to Loch Ness and she made sure we had time for some photo stops. Overall I really enjoyed the views and learning a bit more about scotlands history. Jayda was truly fantastic!

The views were simply superb and our guide Malcolm really went out of the way to show us so many photo opportunities throughout the tour...

We LOVED this trip. Eric was wonderful, knowledgeable and fun to be around. This was a bit more leisurely pace than some other tours we have been on which was perfect for us. Leaned lots. Couldnt have asked for a better experience.

This was a great day tour. Our driver, Marty, must be a standup comedian at night, because he kept us laughing throughout the trip. We traveled in a large van which was comfortable, and visited the fishing villages of Fife as well as St Andrews. At Andrews is more than just a golf course and definitely a must see.

This trip was so worth the money. Shug was an amazing guide, he was so happy and cheerful. He made this trip worth it. Thank you again for this wonderful experience. Everything was well explained and it was fun to listen to. Amazing service from the team.
