An unforgettable experience thanks to Benjamin and the Highlands 🏔️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An INCREDIBLE experience from beginning to end.
✨ The Highlands seem taken from a movie and, honestly, it has been like living one dream after another. Each landscape was more spectacular than the last and I found it hard to believe that I was seeing all of that in person. 🥹💚
And a large part of the experience being so special was thanks to our guide, Benjamin. He is super pleasant, fun, and approachable, and he told us all the stories and legends of Scotland in a super entertaining and interesting way. It was not simply visiting places, but understanding a little bit more about the history and the magic that is behind each one of them.
I am leaving completely in love with the Highlands and with memories that I am going to keep forever. Without a doubt, I would repeat the experience and would recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Scotland. 🏔️💚
Thank you, Benjamin, for making the day even more special! ✨

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!

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.

Unmissable with a real extraordinary guide on 1 of the lines
We are used to taking these buses when we visit a city, because even if it has a certain cost, the bus allows you to visit the city with an audio guide, to learn many things, and not to get tired. But this bus has something extra, the green line has a real live guide and what a guide, TORI, she was extraordinary! Funny, attentive to people, and professional. We recommend it 100%!!

Excellent tour!
We had a fantastic experience! Keith was an excellent tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip enjoyable. The group was small, which made the experience feel more personal, and we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. As an added bonus, Keith even took us to an extra stop on the way back so we could feed the adorable hairy coos! It was such a fun surprise and a great way to end the day. We highly recommend this tour company and would absolutely book with them again!

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience on this excursion! Dave was a good tour guide—very knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer any questions along the way. The tour company was well organized, and everything ran right on schedule. There were lots of stops and plenty to see throughout the day. A few parts felt a little rushed, especially lunch (you could either do the castle or lunch, not enough time for both) but that’s understandable given how much they manage to fit into one excursion. The castles were absolutely fantastic and well worth seeing, even if you’re not an Outlander fan. If you enjoy history, beautiful scenery, and exploring castles, this is a great tour. Definitely recommend

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!

Exciting
We booked the tour online. You drive through Edinburgh a bit and get shown the most famous sights. In addition, there are spooky stories about each respective stop. On the bus itself, there is also a small show, which we liked very much. A sightseeing tour that is a bit different for a change.

Thanks, Mister G!
This tour was a lot of fun! It was insightful and relaxing, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the tour with the group. They were all lovely people from different walks of life, and they all seemed to enjoy the tour. Our tour guide, Mister G, was a really cool guy. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a fun guy. I learned quite a bit about the city from this tour, and we ended on a high, literally and figuratively, at Calton Hill. Overall, it was a great tour, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a good time.

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!

Great package of sites to see!
It was great for what we needed. We came into Edinburgh in the afternoon so we did one of the bus tours and the Britannia the first day and then were able to do another bus tour mixed in with the Castle and Holyrood Palace the next day. Worked perfectly!
