    Our host and driver, Connor, was AMAZING. Excellent tour guide and jokester, very entertaining and knowledgeable about all things Scottish in general, and Skye in particular. Arranged a 5-star B&B with the included lodging arrangement. Very patient with late guests and accidental iced tea spillage 😬. Can’t recommend high enough. So nice to meet you, Connor and hope I spelled your name right. Happy travels ❤️. Deborah & Erdem

  • Overall, good experience, great guide

    We regularly plan all of our own vacations but they’ve always been in North America. In Scotland we wanted to see a lot but were worried about how we’d get to each place so we decided to take our first bus tour. Alan, our guide with Timberbush Tours, was funny, knowledgeable, and personable. The Isle of Skye and the Highlands were amazing, no regrets seeing them. While for our first visit, the bus tour probably made sense due to our time constraints, we’re not sure if we’d do it again. On the bus you see so many cool things but you also pass a lot and often cannot stay at an attraction as long as you’d like. If you have the time and resources to rent a car, you’ll see so much more and be able to stay as long as you wish. If you’re short on time, not good at researching places to visit and stay, or don’t care about time limits, the bus may be for you. Overall it was a good experience for us. Check the itinerary with the actual bus company before you book with Viator to ensure they match. We thought we were doing a couple of things we didn’t do.

  • Would not use Timberbush ever again

    The Isle of Skye is a delight, Timberbush is a no. They are not honest concerning refund policy or accommodations. Once you’re on the little bus and the trip has started anything they have agreed to is off.

    With the right guide this can be an excellent experience! Seats are a little cramped on the smaller sprinter van. Paul Santa was a fabulous tour guide! He is a wealth of knowledge and so funny! He was also great at getting us to sites ahead of all the traffic and planned excellently around the weather!! Could not have asked for a better guide!
