So glad we booked this tour to explore the Highlands for the first time! Our tour guide, Will, was fantastic and made the time on the bus fly by with his passion for Scottish history, entertaining stories and great music. We saw so many beautiful sights in one day. Highly recommend!

Our Kilted guide Liall was excellent. Very knowledgeable, and played awesome music. We loved Skye. We were a little sad our lunch was rushed, but that was NOT his fault. I highly recommend TIMBERBUSH TOURS

Brilliant tour of the Isle of Sky with Timberbushtours. Our driver and guide Liall dressed in his kilt and long socks, dressed with his Scottish accent has been very knowledgeable and funny in his storytelling. It was delightful to hear his Scottish accent and learn about the country. The views are stunning. The your is bery well organized and all goes well. All the guides/drives take a great pride in being Scottish and their love for the country just fills your heart. It makes you want to come back for more. Well done Liall. It is higly recommended 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
