It was a very pleasant and rewarding tour. Our guide, Neil, was detail-minded and had good time management. He gave us some really good insights (and interesting stories) of Isle of Skye and food recommendations. We will definitely recommend this tour and Timberbush to our friends and families.

The tour was excellent and Scot our guide was remarkable with an amazing knowledge of Scottish history. My only negative comment is that as the only solo participant, and as I was picked up in Glasgow so the Edinburgh people were already on the bus, and as the B&B that I was assigned was first drop off and therefore last pick up each morning, by the time I boarded the bus I had no choice of seats. Couples were sitting in single seats and no one was prepared to swap. On a recent trip this was avoided as it was part of the policy of the tour operator that people should move seats each day.

Scott, our tour guide was amazing and made this trip with my 3 kids a memorable one! He was very knowledgeable about both Scottish history and pop culture which we enjoyed. The tour felt complete, engaging, and well-rounded. We also stopped at all the places we were hoping to, including petting and feeding some highland cows!
