We had a day trip to Eilean Donan Castle and Isle of Skye with Ben as our tour guide. Not only was the scenery and weather fantastic, Ben was too. His knowledge of history and local folklore was amazing. His friendly way and just good nature made the trip so enjoyable. This was our first trip with Timberbush, if all of your drivers are like Ben this won't be our last. Fabulous day !

Isle of Skye tour is 12 hours in a bus
Isle of Skye tour is 12 hours in a bus. That sums it up; stops are very short, and few, everything rushed when you're off the bus, and when you're on poor information from the guide/driver. It was a big disappointment. Our advice: skip it!

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the tour was disappointing. As the Isle of Skye day tour covers a significant distance and many highlights in a single day, it is naturally a long and fast paced experience. Perhaps the two day option may have been better suited. Nonetheless, we appreciate your comments on the time at stops and the guiding, and we'll share them with our team for review.
Mike was a great guide for our two day…
Mike was a great guide for our two day tour of the Isle of Skye, the fairy pools and Dunvegan Castle. His commentary was always interesting and well-delivered. He kept us on schedule, even popping out in the morning of our second day to see that The Storr was visible and we could head out to see it, which we couldn't do Day 1 because it was raining so hard. Definitely recommend!

A great tour to the West of Scotland.
The driver Liall stated: "The West ís the best". I totally agree. Amazing Nature everywhere during the tour. A privilege to be on a tour with such an experienced driver as Liall.

Great tour!
Our tour guide/driver was wonderful! Jack was funny and full of information about the area. Stirling castle is beautiful. I wish I had more time there, but I also enjoyed the visit to the town of Callander and the highland cows.

Fantastic tour to St.Andrews
Fantastic tour to St.Andrews yesterday! Excellent, professional tour guide sharing Scottish history by interesting stories with great passion and specific sense for humor. St.Andrews - city with soul, not only for golfers. Falkland - cute place, not only for Outlander fans. The best ever tour. @Graham, thank you once more

Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle & the Kelpies from Edinburgh was a must do! Timberbush Tours was easy to book and gave us straigt forward directions about when and where to meet. The bus was extremely comfortable and the ride was beautiful. John, our driver and story teller, was professional, kind and full of the colorful history of the places were we visiting. He made our adventure easy, fun for our kids and safe.
