A great 4 day Islay Whisky tour

Mike was very professional. He had answers for all our questions and solutions to the unexpected. We visited more Islay Distilleries than were on our agenda and our expectations were exceeded in almost every area. Only shortcoming was I believe Mike could have prepared us beforehand of our need for advanced reservations at restaurants for evening meals. We, however, did not go hungry.

Brilliant personalized distillery tour

The brief from my husband was to find a serious distillery tour without the fluff of sightseeing or shopping stops, only tasting high end single malt. Go Scotland were brilliant and put together the perfect day trip for just my husband and his mate. The guys were thrilled with the distilleries, came back with smiles on their faces and loved their day.

Mike was excellent at logistics

Mike was excellent at logistics! We had a lot packed in to our trip and some special requests and he was able to get us where and when we needed to be and to catch ferries etc. The van he used was a Mercedes, very nice for the four of us plus him. I referred my sister's family to use Mike for their trip this May. The only reason I did not go 5 stars is I believe all tours have room for improvement. I use tour guides often all over the world and Mike was in my top 3 favorites and would definitely use him again! Dates below are approximate.

Mike made our experience great he and…

Mike made our experience great he and the driver were excellent. We only had one day to tour so we took a 12 hour highlands tour, it was fabulous. The two of them worked so hard and made sure we were enjoying the tour. Thank you Mike for arranging such a memorable experience. We will never forget it Go Scotland tour

4 Day Discover the Highlands and Whisky Tasting

We had a wonderful 4 day whisky and Highlands tour with Allison Motion as our guide. Because of the Queen’s funeral in the middle of our trip, adjustments had to be made and Allison was responsive to our interests, informative and innovative. We felt like we really experienced Scotland in a short time. We tasted a lot of good whisky from a variety of interesting distilleries and saw beautiful and historical sights. The accommodation were comfortable and the Scottish people so hospitable. We highly recommend this tour.
Ask for Allison!

Very professional and experienced!

Mike was very professional and experienced. And that is exactly why we hired a guide.

Calm and organized with the tour route, suggestions, and especially the driving.

We would enthusiastically recommend him and his company to any of our family, friends, or colleagues.

Private Tour to Saint Andrew’s

My husband and I just did a private tour with Mike to Saint Andrews and it was truly wonderful! He was very knowledgeable of Scotland. Gave us so many details and stories about each area from the moment we left Edinburgh as we passed through many areas to get Saint Andrew’s and back. We had a wonderful time and we highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back and see more places with Mike one day!

Poor communication

I booked my tour a week ago and was double charged. Since then I have emailed, called, left messages and no one has responded to the fact that I have paid twice for one tour booking.

I recommend people avoid this company which does not communicate effectively, and I will continue to see how long it takes to get my money back.

Hi Samantha, Thank you for getting in touch with us. Sorry to hear that you have been have issues getting a hold of us. Our office has not come back to normal as we are still suffering the affects the pandemic has had on the tourism industry. So sometimes we are not available by phone. But I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have had. Although I did check our emails and voicemail and can not find a message from you, so not sure where our communications have crossed. But you have our attention now.

I have looked into the transactions and can not explain why you were charged twice. It is not something that ever happens with us. Regardless I have issued a refund on one of the transactions, it may take about a week to reflect on your account. If there is anything else we can help you with please let us know.

Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness Tour on 12.09.20 - Tour ID 1004

Many thanks to Go Scotland Tours for the kind arrangements on behalf with Timberbush Tours for Booking Reference: TBT-T15539047 on the tour to Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness Tour on 12.09.20.

The tour has been excellent and had a wonderful time with Timberbush Tours. The guide from Timberbush Tour, Neil, has been excellent and knowledgeable.

However, the difference between the award of 4 stars, rather than 5 stars is due to the hotel arranged at Skye, which is understood to be beyond the control of the operator.

As a result of challenging situation with hotel accommodation for the weekend of 12.09.20 as observed off the ground, it was unfortunate the hotel has been downgraded to a B&B single room e.g. Small Room with 1 Bed for 1 Person with ensuite Bathroom at the Springfield Guest House during the 2 nights at Skye, rather than the Portree Hotel or equivalent, where some members of the group has been booked in.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Hongjian Luo

Dear Hongjian, thank your feedback. Glad you had an excellent time on the tour with the guide. Unfortunately we could not offer the hotel package to any more guests as those ones to the last available to us. Other wise we hope you enjoy the great views Scotland has to offer. Please come back soon!

Terrific Tour

We had a terrific time-enjoyed the scenery- guide was great and drove a very torturous route well - stopped for photos and knew where the best places were so we missed nothing

Hi folks,

We are absolutely over the moon with your review, thank you so much for such kind words. We are not surprised to hear that it was your favorite part of your trip, we love nothing more than ending the day with a good whisky after a day in the distilleries. Cant wait to see you both again for your next big Scottish adventure.

Haste ye back!
