Fantastic tour!
I would read other comments for an accurate assessment of the tour: mostly riding in a nice van through the gorgeous highlands, with numerous photo stops and bathroom breaks. Loved the cruise on Loch Ness, and Rico/Rich was absolutely phenomenal; he had so many stories, good history facts, and jokes to pass the time and make the tour well worth it. Absolutely added to our first time in Scotland, and would recommend to anyone who wants to see a good bit of the highlands in a day. And again thanks to Rico/Rich, who made the day immensely enjoyable. I would recommend bringing a warm waterproof jacket, a phone charger (although our van had USB-A outlets), cash for a tip for the driver, and some snacks/drinks for the ride. The only long period of time you’re outside is the cruise, and even for that you can stay indoors on the boat — no need to have an extreme number of layers.

We had a great time on...
We had a great time on this tour. We got to see so much and even the tour guide Chris made an unexpected stop to lets us take some pictures. We had plenty of time at each location to do everything and even time to buy souvenirs and eat. The time flew by, with music and very interesting facts. I would recommend to everyone specially Harry Potter fans and highland fans.

Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Tour and Guide!
Cara, our driver and guide was tremendous. She had so much knowledge not just on the Outlander filming, but also so knowledgeable on Scottish history. I could not have asked for a better tour guide than Cara. I would definitely take a different tour of her's and highly recommend her to future travelers. The van was comfortable and clean.

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!

The boat tour on Loch...
The boat tour on Loch Lomond was lovely, we had good weather and it was informative. There was a quick extra stop to see some Highland Coos and the driver had brought a bag of vegetables so that was a great experience getting to feed one.
The visit to Stirling Castle could have been longer, we arrived about a bit over an hour before they were closing so that was not really enough time.

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%!!

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

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!

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!
