This tour was one of the highlights of our Edinburgh Trip. Our guide/driver Neil gave us many interesting and dark insights about the history of Edinburgh, Scotland and the Highlands and made us smile a lot. We saw the beautiful Landscape of the Highlands and had a good amount of stops on our way to Glencoe and Glenfinnan. We were able to see everything we wanted to see (even Unicorns) Thank you Neil!

Jamie is a young and motivated bus driver and tour guide. On the nearly 12-hour tour, it was not boring. He comes from the Highlands himself and really shared his enthusiasm for his homeland.

We, my wife and I, took tour on 13 Feb 2026 (08:15) from Edinburgh to Glenfinnan with the guide Mr. Adam. He drove our bus himself. His care to each and everyone of our group is exceptional. He is very kind, patient, polite and full of knowledge about the trip. He is very much helpful to all members of the tour. He has a very good understanding on what we need. His language is clear and easy to understand. Timberbush must be proud of having a staff like Mr.Adam.
Very nice!
