Jamie and Robert brought us to the Highlands, Glencoe, and Loch Ness. It was an amazing trip - I never thought I would see all of that in my lifetime - I’m so glad we went. This was all from a recommendation from someone in our hotel - on a whim we booked the tour, and I’m so glad we did!

We had a wonderful time. Blair was fantastic, very knowledgeable in the areas that we saw. Made sure each of us enjoyed the day. Very entertaining made the day that much enjoyable. Thank you Blair from your new friends from CT. The best part playing the accordion for us. We love it.

I'm A.K from Morocco. Frankly we experience a very good tour with the respected Mr. David. He was a good communicator, guide,storyteller along the way. Just one thing I see needs some reflection is the timing at the beautiful village 'Linfisfarne'. Generally, the trip was wonderful. Thanks a lot Mr. David

It was a great trip. Claire our guide turned it into an amazing day. Always interesting and knowledgeable, ever helpful and kind, her courtesy and great sense of humour made the day one to remember. Mark also shared personal insights and experiences so that it was as if I was among friends.
Thank you both.

Trip left on time. Jack W was welcoming and helpful getting us settled, answering questions, and getting our tickets for the boat ride on the Loch. Long day on the bus, but Jack kept it entertaining and we felt very safe with his driving. As a non-Scot it was difficult to understand everything he said, so we recommended he go slower or repeat important points so we can understand. Also he was a little short and rude-sounding at the end of the bus ride when we asked some basic friendly questions at the conclusion. Was he mad about traffic or something? Anyway, overall it was what we expected from the tour and a nice time.

Was my dream to go the Isle of Skye from my last visit to Scotland: great tour, very nice and professional Jacqueline who managed to keep us entertained even when the weather got really nasty. We got it all: sunny lochs, misty highlands with the strongest wind I've ever experienced and again sunny hills, and loved it all along with a great soundtrack and local stories from our driver-guide.
Next dream: to go to the North with Timberbush :)

Lawrence took us to the most beautiful spots and had lots of patience with our two little puke-heads on the bus. 😅
Kind regards,

Great trip with great driver and guide (Alistair).
A surprisingly good trip to the Highlands. The guide was very knowledgeable, entertaining to listen to, and really knew how to drive the bus. He handled the situation very well when we were hit in a roundabout.

Was a great experience! Lots of sightseeing, stories! Thanks to the driver Alex!!!
The bus was a not extremely comfortable though (not enough leg space); and too big group of people for such a long ride

I did the Highland mountains and castles Tour. Claire and Emma were amazing. Emma was an amazing driver. Did a great job and Claire came alive in her stories. I thoroughly enjoyed it and all the sites were incredible. I’ll do something with this company again.

We just wrapped up an amazing 4 day Highlands, Jacobite Train, Oban Whiskey, Isle of Skye and Culloden Battlefield Tour. Our local expert, Jack W, is the whole package! Knowledgeable, funny, kind, helpful and intuitive. He adjusted stops to the group’s preferences and was engaging to interact with. We had a great time getting to know others in our group from 3 different countries. This tour was worth the cost for several reasons. First, the cost of a rental car was equal to the cost for one of us taking the tour- and that is not taking into account the stress of driving these windy one lane roads, cost of petrol and parking. Secondly, Jack was able to teach us more than I expected about the history of the area and tie it into modern times. Third, I will say it again- not having to navigate these roads and absolutely PACKED tourist areas and parking lots made our trip stress free and fun. We highly recommend Timberbush Tours.

Caris did an exceptional job with bits of history and sharing the history of Scotland and the places we visited.
My only issue would be that it's more of a two stop tour and not a true three stop tour.

Our tour to the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness was incredible. Our tour guide/driver, David, was extremely knowledgeable about the history and areas during the entire trip. He was also very entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Not only was our adventure super fun but our guide Gary was incredible!! He was full of knowledge, wit and kindness! We saw a lot of highlights of Scotland and Gary explained everything along the way. Loved how we got to relax on the bus but still saw everything. Would highly recommend!

Going to Isle of Skye we knew we'd see amazing scenery but we had no idea what a delightful time we'd have learning about the history, legend, economy, and amusing stories that brought the area to life! Stewart was an incredible added value, letting us sit back and leave the driving to him while we had an amazing and beautiful tour - Inverness to Isle of Skye overnight. Such great memories.
