Castles, castles and more castles! ❤️

5.00This was an exceptional tour. Our tour guide Mark knew so much about every place we went along with tales of the past. He also has a great sense of humour. We had a second guide on this trip, Vic, who was in training. She was so much fun! Scotland and particularly this Isle of Skye tour has been on my bucket list and it didn’t disappoint. I had the greatest time and would recommend anyone going to Scotland to tour with this group. Thanks again for the best time ever!
5 days in the wild

5.00Absolutely recommend the tour. We had Simon as our guide, from the airport to the final day we had the best time. Knowledge, driving skills and a sense of humor, Simon was able to answer our questions.

5.00The Isle of Skye itself was magical--fairy tale-like, with green hills and valleys, castle ruins, little villages, and open water. The citizens were so friendly. Timberbush Tours seamlessly took care of booking our excellent lodgings. What made our experience outstanding, though, was our guide, Adam. He is essentially a stand-up comedian with a deep knowledge of Scottish history, familiarity with the locals, and expert driving skills. The stories he told--and how he told them--had us rolling in laughter and appreciating the richness of Scottish heritage at the same time.
Would not recommend this trip

2.00Our driver did not stop at least 2 of the sites on our itinerary. The hotel we stayed at that the tour set up had no elevator and we had to take our suitcases up 3 flights of stairs and found out the next day that the driver could have delivered us to a door closer to our room
Highly recommend highland/ Isle of Skye tour!

5.00A fantastic trip , there’s a lot crammed into the 3 days & it’s well worth it , so many memorable highlights, Isle of Skye just keeps on giving . Michelle our tour guide was superb, incredibly knowledgeable, fun & oozed Scottish cheeriness & went out of her way to make sure everyone took a bit of Scotland away with them .
5 stars from Texas!

5.00Great experience seeing some of the highlights of the Highlands! Timberbush booked great accommodations for us-very clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed Sam’s (driver/guide) flexibility and commentary 😁.

5.00This was a truly incredible three-day tour. We had a lovely time taking in Scotland’s beautiful sights. Our guide, Jim, was fantastic and knowledgeable, and he provided great context about Scottish history and achievements. The Scottish music selections were spot on and complemented the landscapes perfectly. Traveling in January added a special winter beauty that made the experience even more memorable. Also loved that we stopped by Talisker 😝😝
