Great short trip - super organized and learned a lot about Scottish history

5.00Great 2 day tour of the Isle of Sky and Scottish Highlands. What’s best about this tour is that you have a guide driving you through everything and the days are planned out. So you can see 4-5 sights in a day, have breakfast/lunch, and rest in the van. Andy S was a great steward, had great Scottish music, and provided great flexibility at stops. I particularly loved Quirang and the Fairy Pools, as we had 2/1 hour respectively to explore and hike. Overall, great trip and so much easier than renting a car and doing it on your own.
A Must Do!

1.00Wish I could give 0 stars- the overnight tour was cancelled by Timberbush THREE days before the date and we ended up charged for a hotel in Portree (which required 5 days to cancel). They basically said too bad, so sad. We found out from another Timberbysh employee it was cancelled due to a road closure near the Fairy pools. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY- never again. *choise Rabbies tours: small groups, less costly, more interactive*
