10/10 must book!
Our 3 day Isle of Skye tour with guide Jim was fantastic and hit all the major attractions we wanted to see including a few special surprise viewpoints along the way. The Scottish music ranging all genres that was played throughout the tour was a fun touch, and we learned several favorites were Scottish. He gave tidbits of Scottish trivia, history, and commentary as we passed important landmarks. He was also super personable and friendly. This was also our first time staying at a BnB, which was booked for us by the company. Our hosts were lovely, our room was beautiful and we got fresh baked pain au chocolates in the morning. We loved this tour and would highly recommend Timberbush and Jim!

Tour Guide and a legend of a Historian
Our 12-hour tour of the Scottish Highlands with Paul S was unforgettable.
Paul's knowledge was extraordinary. Throughout the day, he shared a fascinating amount of information, but what stood out most was his deep understanding of Scottish history and culture. His storytelling brought the Highlands to life.
The Scottish music he played during the journey was the perfect soundtrack to the stunning scenery and made the experience even more special.
A truly outstanding guide who turned a great tour into an amazing one. Highly recommended.

PICK THIS TOUR - and Billy N. is awesome!
BEST TOUR EVER - there are so many options, PICK THIS ONE - I solo traveled to Scotland and had an amazing time, on my very last day I had this tour and wow oh wow did it leave my trip on the happiest and highest note ever!!!! BILLY N. IS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE IN THE WORLD. I have never had a tour guide care more about ensuring that the travelers have a 3839201/10 experience, Billy was so kind, so patient, took a bunch of pictures for us (which is appreciated as someone traveling alone), created a whole playlist specific to each event/thing we were seeing, made it feel like a family on board, gave the best and most interesting facts ever, was so funny, ensured we had plenty of bathroom breaks, was always checking in to make sure we were ok, and even stayed after the tour to make sure every single person on the tour had directions (if they needed) to where they were going after the tour - if every tour guide in the world was like Billy, I think everyone would want to go on tours 24/7 because that is how epic Billy is!!!! Scotland is absolutely STUNNING, I’ve been to many countries and wow oh wow Scotland shines with its gorgeous landscapes, all of which you get to see on this tour - and yes I saw some very cute highland cows which I loved - excellent, amazing, 38282919/10 tour - super kind and accommodating company - PICK THEM!!!! THERE ARE LIKE 482929 OPTIONS AND IM TELLING YOU THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!! Thank you Billy - sincerely from, the solo traveler you were willing to add last minute to your tour group, who had the best time ever :)

Great balance between walking and driving
Even though we were unlucky with the weather, the trip was great. Loch Lomond is magical, Castle Stirling is fascinating and I was mesmerized with the Kelpies. Out guide Steven told us a lot of interesting history facts while making us laugh all the time. And we all came to the conclusion that he is a genius with his changes and additions to the program. All the attractions are close enough, so you don't spend that much time on a bus (which was also fine thanks to all the stories told by Steven). I am really glad I went to that trip.

Outlandishly fun!
Rico (Richard) was not only a great story teller but a hoot. He was prepared with photos from the show, stories about kilts and kelpies and historical facts. The castles and towns were wonderful with a little Monty Python to boot! I highly recommend this for fans as well as castles lovers. What a great and memorable day. Thanks Rico!

What a fun day! It was me...
What a fun day! It was me and my friend’s first time in Scotland, and we truly felt that we got to experience so much of the gorgeous country in just 12 hours. Our guide, Sarah, was so knowledgeable on all we saw, and her jokes and fun facts kept the day from ever being boring. Our driver, Neil, also was a delight and did a wonderful job getting us through the windy roads! During the tour, we viewed Glencoe and the Three Sisters, visited Loch Ness and Uqurhart Castle, saw some highland cows and did some shopping! Overall, we had a blast and will be recommending Sarah, Neil, and the tour group to all our friends. I look forward to coming again with my family for another tour!

Timberbush Edinburgh Glenfinnan tour.
It's hard to say because we can only speak for our tour guidel Seumas. He was not only funny and engaging but he was quite knowledgeable about all the stops and the things in between. He has a good sense of humor and encourages questions. That being said, if you sit in back, he may not hear you but he answered the question when you were able to ask again. He warned us that some answers may be false but he tells them so convincingly that you may for a moment believe they're true. He did his best to encourage folks back to the bus on time and asked if we minded cutting a stop a little short in order to get more time elsewhere such as the viaduct in order to see a train go by. Long story short, for us, it was worth the money and time.

We had booked this tour as part of a friend's birthday celebrations.
We all had the best time & would highly recommend this to be part of every girls weekend to Edinburgh.
The tour guide was fab and kept us all engaged throughout.
The services was friendly and easy to navigate.

Spectacular presentation of scandalous history!
Our tour guide James was spectacular! The energy and style in which he told these dark historical facts bought each of the characters to life. The walking pace was steady, had good amount of stops. Totally worth the time &money! Best part was how we ending— up on high grounds seeing the beautiful skyline of Edinburgh! My kids and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great tour!
Wonderful tour - and guide, Ross! There were some technical difficulties with the microphone on our bus, but Ross gave an enthusiastic, humorous and very informative tour through the beautiful Scottish countryside. Please double his salary!
Stirling Castle was the highlight of the tour for me personally (which had its own wonderful guides). I’d highly recommend for anyone with limited time to explore Scotland.

Great ride
It had been a few years since we’d been to Edinburgh and weren’t sure where to go first so we hopped on the hop on:hop off bus and rode the whole route before deciding where to get off first. This allowed us to best use the time we had and see the things we wanted to see. The guides were helpful and funny and made the ride more enjoyable!

Edinburgh, a place for history lovers
Edinburgh is the most beautiful city in Scotland. The history and architecture of the city can’t be matched. The people are devoted to maintaining the history and tradition of Scottish life. Traffic is very congested with buses, walking can be tiresome with all the hills, but I highly recommend using the hop-on, hop-off buses. You will see a lot more of the city.
