Excellent tour with Jim. Comfortable coach and scheduling. He took his time to educate us about sites, but also about Scottish culture. The audio of Scottish music was a big plus, as I had no idea how many of the groups I had listened to in the USA were from Scotland! Felt he was genuinely interested in making sure we all had a good time. Highly recommend. Skye was a nice trip, but the experience was excellent overall.

Me and my partner have been going on many tours operated by different brands in the past 3 years, and we can easily say that this tour was the best one so far. Our trip with Andrew was perfect - he was funny, knowledgeable, quirky, and super friendly. He has been doing this tour every week for the past 6 years, so he’s literally better than a GPS lol, bringing us to all the secret hideouts for the best photos. Our first ever tour was, in fact, with Timberbush back in 2021, but unfortunately it was not a positive one so we stopped booking tours with them. However, thanks to Andrew and this trip we will definitely be going on more tours with Timberbush :)
A highly highly recommended tour!!

Fantastic tour with plenty of fun stops and great commentary along the way. We had a great time and really enjoyed all 3 days. There were one or two stops that we felt could have been skipped. Cliff was a great tour guide: driving was smooth, narrating was lively, and kept us all on schedule. I appreciate that he also allowed us to suggest additional stops as well.

We all know the feeling of enjoying something and immediately thinking, 'I wish my friend were here, or my siblings, or my parents.' This is the kind of service Neil provides. Despite my reluctance to travel in groups, this decision surpassed all my expectations.
Neil strikes a perfect balance between historical information, anecdotes, a touch of humor, and just the right amount of silence or background music as you traverse the Highlands. His driving is impeccable, and he makes the best recommendations. I highly recommend this tour.

Had a wonderful time. The trip to and from Portree was filled with memorial moments and tons of information. The tour guide, Neil, provided the right amount of attention. Never felt rushed nor neglected. Very pleased with my experience.

The Tour was/is just amazing! I was very lucky to have been with a small nice group & an awesome Tour Guide, a young girl called Cares (sorry for the spelling). She just did a wonderful job to pack great stories, amazing places, music, scottish traditions and language into these 3 days!! Also, she kept motivated and laughing despite the rain and cold. My highlight so far was just the full day to explore the Isle of Skye. Alltogether, I'm very happy to have been on the Tour and definitely recommend it - thank you!!

This tour was amazing and well planned. Timberbush tours planned it perfectly with the timing, routes and sights. B&B arranged by them were beautiful and even had a great view. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend this tour
