Awesome Tour!

Published on Mar, 2025

The tour was amazing! Mr. Alan our driver was very informative and helpful throughout the entire trip. We got to see the beautiful landscape of the Isle of Skye and take in some of Scotland's greatest natural landmarks. I would highly recommend this tour or any of Timberbush's tours in Scotland.

Amazing day

Published on Mar, 2025

Thanks to Bryan… Oops, Chris for the amazing day ! A lot of stories to tell and a very good sense of humor ! We had a great time at the Isle of Skye, and amazing rainbows at Leats falls !

Excellent

Published on Mar, 2025

Really good, very enjoyable and worth the money. Alex the tour guide was excellent and very passionate about his job and to the point. I’d definitely go again on one of his tours.

Outstanding

Published on Mar, 2025

We did this tour 23.03.25 and our driver guide Alex was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge and humor made the day. We learnt more about Scotrish history than we could have imagined. We were worried thay 12 hours would be too long however it flew over. Thank you for an amazing trip Koren and Ash

Tonks was the most captivating guide we had in Scotland.

Published on Mar, 2025

I did this tour with my 75-year-old mother and we both thought that our guide Tonks was outstanding. I did tours with Rabbie's, Highland Explorers and Timberbush in Inverness and because of Tonks - Timberbush was the best. Her storytelling ability was truly engaging, and she really knew how to keep your attention. Not fully surprising as she has lots of experience in the theatre world, so her delivery was excellent. She was so knowledgeable about the Scottish history, culture and landscape. I can't recommend her enough. If I could do it over again, I would have booked all the tours she led in my trip because she was so much fun. Thank you, Tonks!
