5.00We had a fantastic time on Timberbush’s 2-day Isle of Skye tour with our guide, Will in May 2025. The experience was amazing—and Will was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and took excellent care of us throughout the entire trip. I highly recommend Timberbush Tours (and be sure to look for Will), and when we’re back on that side of the ocean, we’ll definitely book with them again.

5.00This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide Alan was very informative and played great music. This is the best way to see the Isle of Skye, you hit some many spots and so many view points for pictures. I highly recommend this tour. The tour fits 16 people and we only had 8 so no matter what its a pretty small group of people. You get to explore at your own pace at a lot of places so you can spend time at whatever interests you the most. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Isle of Skye from Inverness. Portree is also such a lovely city. Well worth the price!
