It is an amazing trip. Timberbush Travel is recommended to everyone. They have good coverage and good thing about it is the person who drives is the guide. Our's was Tom Connor. Tom is an amazing person, he is local and has good knowledge about the area specially Scottish Highlands. Very jovial and interactive. He made 2 days fly just like that. Moreover we were lucky that everyone in the bus became very friendly and after 2 days it felt like a family. Lot of stops and places they stopped are all very scenic. Some of the Scottish villages are really worth stopping. Will not mind to do it again with them.

The tour with Santa Paul was truly memorable. So many folklores and fun stories. The vistas were amazing throughout the trip. He was really safe with the driving. Had an amazing time and would come back for an extended tour of the highlands.

Paul Santa! What an amazing tourguide for my 2-day trip to Eilean Donan, Loch Ness & Highlands. He told stories after stories with his own personal twist and humour that everyone on the bus loved. Next time I visit Scotland I will ask for him to do another tour.

We chose this tour because we had two extra days in Scotland AND I wanted to see the Scottish highlands with its green mountains and pastures, the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Eilean Donan Castle and where Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s Knights who say Ni stopped by.
I loved the tour including a few corny jokes from our driver Paul. Paul did a great job navigating the crowded roads and giving us just enough time to visit each attraction.
Nessie stood us up but at least we saw the famed Loch (different from lock).
Coach could get stuffy but tell Paul to turn on the AC switch and he will oblige!

Paul was a great tour guide. He had some pretty good corny jokes as well. The Scottish Higlands are absolutely stunning and I’d like to go back when I have more time to stay. The castles we toured and the “Hogwarts Express” viaduct were all stunning. Nessie stood us up but no hard feelings.
The tour is exactly what is says… two day… two full days. I feel
Like in a time crunch, a coach is the best way to do it otherwise these places might be challenging to get to on your own.
Only drawback was that the van could get stuffy at times.
