A great tour to the West of Scotland.
The driver Liall stated: "The West ís the best". I totally agree. Amazing Nature everywhere during the tour. A privilege to be on a tour with such an experienced driver as Liall.

Great tour!
Our tour guide/driver was wonderful! Jack was funny and full of information about the area. Stirling castle is beautiful. I wish I had more time there, but I also enjoyed the visit to the town of Callander and the highland cows.

Fantastic tour to St.Andrews
Fantastic tour to St.Andrews yesterday! Excellent, professional tour guide sharing Scottish history by interesting stories with great passion and specific sense for humor. St.Andrews - city with soul, not only for golfers. Falkland - cute place, not only for Outlander fans. The best ever tour. @Graham, thank you once more

Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle & the Kelpies from Edinburgh was a must do! Timberbush Tours was easy to book and gave us straigt forward directions about when and where to meet. The bus was extremely comfortable and the ride was beautiful. John, our driver and story teller, was professional, kind and full of the colorful history of the places were we visiting. He made our adventure easy, fun for our kids and safe.

Isle of Skye 2-day tour - Magical Martin
Booked the Isle of Skye 2-day tour and found the whole experience wonderful. Highlight was our tour guide Martin - genuinely one of the loveliest, helpful, considerate, knowledgeable and fun people you could hope to meet. Honestly, if I could work with Martin, I'd be a very happy chap!
The tour across from Inverness to Skye and back was very well planned and although we were in 'peak season' did not feel that way. Perhaps the timings of locations were in our favour. The tour covers a lot of ground but with many stops did not feel like we were stuck on a coach. I would point out that loo stops and food stops were aplenty which wasn’t obvious from the booking.
History and stories about the areas were fascinating but brought to life by a guide that is passionate and proud about the area. Cannot wait to book again!

Really enjoyed the Loch Ness and Highlands tour
Really enjoyed the Loch Ness and the Highlands tour. Jason, our driver and tour guide, was very knowledgeable and also kept us entertained with some lighter stories and tales. The weather was a bit wet and damp so we were slightly early as we headed back to Inverness at the end of our tour. Jason kindly took us to an extra attraction which we enjoyed. We saw some lovely scenery and views from the bus. A long day but well worth it!
