I took the Isle of Skye 4 day trip by myself. Our guide was Lorna, she was absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have even imagined it to be this fun and beautiful

It was great!!!! Fiona was an excellent tour guide. She explained everything and let us take pictures and also let us know the schedule so we could enjoy the trip and get ahead of restrooms stops and coffee stops. Fiona is lovely and so funny!!! We loved it. My family and I had spent an amazing time today.

Our Tour guide plus driver made the entire trip fun while we enjoyed the highland view

Neil was a fantastic driver. He was fun to talk too and be around + he really seemed to love what he does.
It was a fabulous tour to and from Loch Ness, with many stunning stops. Its a must try if you go to Edinburgh.
The only sad part is we didn't have enough time at Loch Ness to take a boat tour.

Amazing Skye tour! Our guide, Lawrence, was funny. He shared so many fantastic stories that made the beautiful scenery even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Lawerence was great at giving wonderful incentives to make sure we all made it to the bus on time. He even picked heather for all the ladies on the bus. We’ve seen everything on the itinerary plus lots of extras like hairy coos, waterfalls and cliff views. The weather was amazing and it was such a lovely day up to Skye and back to Inverness!

My family and I had such a great trip with this company! Sterling castle is a must see with the very beautiful quintessential towns in Scotland that you go to. Our guide Stuart is very funny, knowledgeable, and plays great music!
This company was very family friendly and my 7 year old loved the trip!

My friend and I went on the Skye tour. We stopped at so many beautiful spots, and we were entertained the full day. Had a blast with guides Lawrence and Jason—both were excellent.

Our driver and guide, Vix, made this a memorable day for us out in the Highlands. From the moment we set off toward Doune Castle, she blended commentary, history, and folklore in a way that made every mile feel meaningful. Her pacing was excellent—each stop offered plenty of time to explore, whether it was the sweeping views at the Rest and Be Thankful in the Arrochar Alps, the elegance of Inveraray Castle, the rushing beauty of the Falls of Dochart, or our cheerful visit with the Highland Coos. Standing on the shores of Loch Lomond brought a quiet, stirring sense of awe that lingered long after we left.
Apparently this particular Timberbush itinerary is chosen less frequently by tourists, and truly, they’re missing out. Vix’s absolute love of Scotland shone through every moment—especially her affection for the lochs and the Highlands. She spoke about their scenic beauty with such warmth and pride that it deepened the experience for everyone on board. Her thoughtful use of Scottish music throughout the day added atmosphere and made the journey feel even more connected to the land around us.
Take this tour and you won’t regret your choice.

I joined the Highlands and Loch Ness tour on June 29, and it was an unforgettable 12-hour journey through some of Scotland’s most breathtaking landscapes. Every stop was beautiful, but what truly made this tour exceptional was our guide, Ryan.
From the moment we boarded the bus until the moment we said goodbye, Ryan treated every passenger with genuine kindness and respect. Although we were a large group, he made everyone feel welcome, valued, and cared for, as if we were guests rather than customers.
Ryan proudly wore the traditional Scottish kilt throughout the tour, reflecting his pride in his country’s culture and heritage. That pride was evident in everything he did. Instead of simply taking us from one location to another, he brought Scotland to life through fascinating stories, local history, fun quizzes, and carefully chosen Scottish music that perfectly matched the scenery. The long drive never felt long because he kept everyone engaged and entertained.
He was also exceptionally organized. Before every stop, he gave clear instructions and useful tips, making sure everyone knew where to go, what to see, and when to return. His great sense of humor created a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that made the whole group feel connected.
What impressed me most was that Ryan genuinely wanted every guest to have the best possible experience. He understood that people had invested both their time and money to be there, and he did everything he could to make the tour worthwhile.
By the end of the day, I hadn’t only fallen in love with Scotland’s stunning scenery—I had also developed a real appreciation for its people. Ryan is a wonderful ambassador for his country. The best way to represent your homeland is to love it and inspire others to love it too, and Ryan does exactly that.
I shared many moments from this tour on my Snapchat, where they were viewed by thousands of people over the following two days. I have more than 50,000 followers, mainly from Saudi Arabia as well as people here in Edinburgh, and the response was overwhelmingly positive because the experience was genuinely unforgettable.
A huge thank you to Ryan and to the entire team for creating such a memorable day. This wasn’t just one of the best tours I’ve taken—it was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.

Charlie was absolutely superb and highly knowledgeable on the history of the sites. I particularly enjoyed learning about interesting movies (007 Skyfall, Harry Potter, Netflix Doccie, etc.) shot in the western highlands. Loved the Inveraray Castle experience but would have wanted to have a similar on-site visit to Kilchurn Castle- we saw this from way too far a distance. Appreciated the opportunity for photo shoots and the many expansive lochs- again Charlie here was a star with interesting information. The traditional Scottish bagpipe music was on point and the history of Rob Roy quite captivating.
Much appreciated

Emma nailed it! We loved it!
Impeccable driving, anecdotes, historical facts and legends, each one more interesting than the last.
She handled some of the more difficult passengers with calm and composure.
Her good humour and enthusiasm saw us through the whole day – it was a real treat.
The tour was very well organised; we’d expected to find ourselves amongst large crowds at every stop, but we were pleasantly surprised. There were obviously quite a few people at the viaduct and at certain key points, but it’s hardly anything to make a big deal of – that’s obvious.
Thank you for everything, and for this wonderful introduction to this incredible region. Thanks to you, we’ve decided to return to the Highlands! Thank you!

It was an amazing tour. My and my mum loved it. Gary was the best guide ever.
Would recommend this tour not only to Outlander fans but to anyone wanting a different way to explore historic places.

I had a wonderful time on the tour. The journey was safe, and our tour guide, Ann, was incredibly kind, friendly, and understanding. We arrived at every stop on time and even made it to the Hogwarts Express without any problems.
On the way back, we arrived later than expected because of a traffic accident. Since this unexpected delay was beyond anyone’s control, we were given an ice cream break, which was a thoughtful gesture. I really appreciate Ann’s understanding and professionalism throughout the day. Thank you for making the tour such an enjoyable experience!

The tour was an amazing experience and one of the best parts of our Scotland trip. Our guide Greg was excellent! He was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and fun. Definitely a big reason we had such a good time.

It was a great experience. Jerry was our driver and guide and he did a great job guiding the tour and generals being very friendly and forthcoming. He couldn’t fix the weather but otherwise he did a great job with lots of stories and humor added to the experience. Highly recommend this tour.
