5.00We had a great time! Chris, our tour guide/driver, had a few unexpected challenges with site closures and a sick participant, but handled everything with seeming ease and professionalism. Bus was comfortable, and Chris’ knowledge and stories were top notch. I would definitely recommend this tour & company to anyone wanting to go to the Isle of Skye.
Mesmerising!

5.00I previously was very dissatisfied with Timberbush guides. But today was THE BEST! Our tour guide was Marita. She was the best guide ever! She was funny. Gave lots of information about the history and the region. I was so happy with her! I dozed off (and I’m guessing so did a few others), and when we came up to something important she would say Wakie Wakie to those asleep so we would not miss something valuable! She even gave us a business card with a discount code (and no expiration date). 5 stars is not enough for Marita and this tour.
It was very interesting...
