DON’T WAIT JUST GO! - THIS TOUR WAS FABULOUS! Our guide, Stevie (or Steve) was kind, knowledgeable and very funny. He did a fantastic job teaching us about the history, geology, and culture of our surroundings. He did this with contagious humor and interest and showed an evident love of his job. This tour satisfied all our adventurous cravings, we tried local food (as per our guides suggestions) hiked gorgeous mountain trails (my favorite was the fairy pools), and walked around small villages of Portree and St. Augustus. The accommodation was fantastic - lovely, clean, spacious, and had complementary breakfast options. For the three day tour, days 1 and 3 had quite a bit of driving, though it was broken up by scenic stops for photos and food. Be prepared to be sitting for a while admiring the spectacular view of mountains, lakes, streams, cows, farms and more around you. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to explore the Isle of Sky, Highlands, and Loch Ness if you don’t have the time to walk it all yourself!

Amazing 3 Days in the Highlands - Karis was an amazing tour guide!! First time coming to Scotland to visit a friend who lives in Glasgow I decided to go with Timberbush tours instead of renting a car and I’m very happy I did. Amazing 3 days spent sightseeing in the Highlands and learning about Scottish culture. Karis was super knowledgeable about many aspects of Scotland including the history, fun facts, geology, and more. She had very entertaining and funny stories as well that went with the Scottish culture. She also gave great recommendations! The trip was hassle free. My friend and I did not have to worry about getting around since our bed and breakfast was so close to the town. Our bed and breakfast was so quaint and the owner made us a huge and yummy breakfast each morning. Very clean too! The 3 days was so worth it since we saw so much. Definitely worth it!! Timberbush and our tour guide did tell us to book reservations for the restaurants and unfortunately we did not listen. Definitely listen to them! It was very busy the 2 nights. We were able to get into a restaurant the first night but the next night we had to go to the local grocery shop.

Jada the best tour guide! - An absolute gorgeous trip being lucky with the sunny weather and the beautiful scenic views.
What added to all this beauty was our amazing tour guide Jada! She was the highlight of everything with storytelling and squeezing time to show us everything. Very witty and fun and I really appreciate her effort to keep us on time.
The trip never felt rushed at all, we had time to see everything and wander around. Highly recommend it

Dunlevey Castle Gardens - We thoroughly enjoyed the gardens of Dunlevey. Even though there were areas that were in work, given the time of year we were able to enjoy the variety of flowers and trees in bloom.
We really liked our tour guide, he made it a very pleasant experience. He even went out of his way to deliver my purse that I inadvertently left on the bus and to help us find accommodation
In Edinburg after our reservations were cancelled by the owner. A great experience, we would recommend this tour, ask for Tom.

Awsome trip - Tour guide Mark was very friendly .The residence given to us in Portree was 15 to 20 minutes walk from city centre ,though some in the same tour were given residences in the city centre.So the residence given was not appropriate for the weather conditions.
