Jack was our tour guide on this 2 day Isle of Skye tour. The 16 passenger bus was clean, comfortable & equipped with charging ports for your electronic devices. Jack did an excellent job of pointing out sites and providing an entertaining mix of folk lore & history of the area we traveled through. We traveled in mid April. The first day of the tour had a fair amount of rain mixed with cloudiness but Jack knew how to make the best if this & even added in a few extra stops. We overnighted at a lovely B&B assigned to us by Timberbush called the Woodlands located about a 12 minute walk from Portree. The proprietor welcomed us when we were dropped off, showed us our room & explained where to go for the included breakfast in the morning. The room was well equipped, bed was comfortable & while just off the road was very quiet. We met a lovely couple from Ireland at breakfast & enjoyed chatting with them before meeting the bus in the morning. The 2nd day of the trip the weather was beautiful & sun was out. Jack took us back to the Old Man of Stor so that we could see it since cloud cover interfered the day before. The trip offered many stops with something for everyone: castles, Fairy Glen, Fairy Pools, Fountain of youth & a couple of Whiskey Distilleries. Jack was great throughout taking care to make sure that you were comfortable. He announced where & when bathroom & lunch breaks would occur and recommend places to stock up on snacks for the road. He also added to the authenticity of the experience by dressing in a kilt! Overall a great experience. Would highly recommend.

What an amazing 2 days on Isle of Skye with Jack. He dressed the part in his kilt and had some amazing Scottish stories. We all laughed and had great interaction. Never a dull moment. The Fairy Pools were amazing and the best part were all the Highland Cows!!! Gave us great recommendations for restaurants and Pubs. I would highly recommend Jack at Timberbush.

This 2-day trip to Skye by Timberbush was the best accommodating to go to. Our guide, Chris, is fantastic, lot of humor, informative, and even has many surprises! I’m recommending as this can go well from spotting the most attractive places throughout Skye and hiking to Fairy Pools as a complete adventure experience. Thanks again Chris and Timberbush Tours!

A huge thanks to our tour guide and driver CHRIS, he was funny, very informative and looked after us really well. He made sure we saw most of the sites with ample time to enjoy the sites.

The 2 day Isle of Skye tour was my first time going on a multi day guided tour (done day trips before) and it was the best!! Our guide was Chris and he was an absolute delight throughout the two day journey. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about Skye. He was kind, funny and had a lot to share about Skye and Scotland as we travelled across the breathtakingly beautiful landscapes of the island. We stopped at many locations with ample amount of time at each, yet not feeling rushed and making it feel very relaxing and enjoyable. The perfectly timed wc breaks by Chris added to the comfort of the trip as well. We had good weather even in March to make the trip even more wonderful. I would definitely love to visit Skye again !

We had a blast on the 2 day Isle of Skye tour. Sandy was a fantastic host, guide, and driver. He made the trip super fun and enjoyable. We were really able to see all of Skye effectively. There was ample time to do all the hikes, get photos, and tour areas. Nothing felt rushed. It was very laid back and relaxed. I would definitely do more tours if we had the time. Great company.

The group consisted in 6 people + the guide. We travelled with a minibus. The guide, Jack, was great and sharing stories about Scotland as he drove us to beautiful places. He tailor-made the stories to our liking : more about fairies, more about mountains, etc. Safe driving, kind and patient with the group. Would recommend doing the tour with this company!
