Best tour!
This was an absolutely incredible experience! Our tour guide, Martin, was wonderful. He did an excellent job of blending history with lore and making sure we knew enough to appreciate and respect each excursion site.
The one piece of advice I have— bring proper footwear and a good rain coat because there is a LOT of walking. But it is well worth it!

Must take this tour and request Cualann!
This tour was absolutely amazing. Cualann was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable about history and faery tales that we were entertained for the entirety of the ride. Even my kids (9 and 11) thought he was great and asked if we could do it all again the next day. The group was kept small making it feel more like traveling with friends than strangers. The spots we visited were picturesque and absolutely breathtaking! The 12 hours flew by as we took in the landscape, hiked the fairy pools, ate fish and chips by the bay, and dunked our faces in the river. I would highly, highly recommend this tour.

Stewart was awesome. He suggested that we skip the town of Wick and extend the time at the castle and stop at a different location not listed to see the puffins. We drive through Wick, he was right not worth spending an hour in that town. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area . On drive back played very good soundtrack that he created.

Marvellous lochness experience !!
Karen and Jason from Timberbush were absolutely amazing! They took us all around Loch Ness, sharing the fascinating history and stories behind every stop, making the whole journey both entertaining and unforgettable. Their passion, knowledge, and friendly personalities truly made the experience special.
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland—an easy 10/10! Thank you for such an incredible day. I’ll definitely be back someday!

Stewart you are a star
This was our very first booking, and it could not have been better. Our trip started from Inverness, traveling alongside the majestic Loch Ness through some absolutely incredible scenery. A major highlight was seeing the Glenfinnan Viaduct just as the steam train was passing through—truly magical. We then moved on to Mallaig, where we enjoyed fantastic fish and chips and a leisure stroll through the town.
What really made the trip, though, was our tour guide, Stewart. He was the absolute star of the day! His candour, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of Scottish culture and history were outstanding. Stewart made our experience truly memorable.
Highly recommended

I loved the castle, the harbour at Portree and the landscape at Quiraign. It involves quite a lot of time on the bus, but it is fully worth it. Our guide, Neil, provided a lot of information during the drive, and the views from the bus were also great.

Shonda (hope I spelled that right) was a great guide, she gave us good explanations as well as many fun facts that made the tour seem very personable. Furthermore, I didn’t feel like we were rushed from one spot to the other, which allowed me to fully soak in the experience. Would 100% recommend!

Ultimate Highland Experience
If you’re visiting Inverness or the Scottish Highlands, this tour is an absolute must. With such limited time in Scotland, we wanted to experience as much as possible… and this tour exceeded every expectation. We were able to see and learn about so many of the Highlands’ most iconic sights while also gaining a deeper appreciation for Scotland’s rich history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.
A huge part of what made this experience so memorable was our guide, Martin. His knowledge of Scottish history was incredibly impressive, but what truly set him apart was his personality. He was funny, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Every stop came with fascinating stories, local insights, and plenty of laughs along the way. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish.
This tour allowed us to accomplish everything we had hoped to see during our short stay, and we left feeling like we had experienced the very best of the Highlands. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day.
10/10 highly recommend this tour, and if you have the chance, absolutely request Martin. You won’t regret it! Thanks so much again Martin!!

An adventure through history
An amazing historical experience filled with a bit of humour.
And what a pleasure it was to have a guide that is só knowledgable and can direct his knowledge how to different audiences.
We were really lucky to have someone who is an archeologist, à historian amongst some other things he does.

Searching for Nessie
It rained while we were on the boat but inside was warm and very roomy and the windows were massive. The narrator was very informed of the history of the Loch and everything around it. I would recommend this one hour cruise for anyone with a short vacation span. We only had two days in Inverness.

Can’t stop talking about it
Louise was amazing! (She should literally start a podcast with all the information she had!) This tour hit so many stops we didn’t even know we were going to stop at. The stories and history were amazing! Definitely bring a second pair of clothes (the weather varies).

Excellent tour, with a thoughtful guide.
Beautiful tour of Loch Ness area, the fairy pools and castle. Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. He deviated a little from the itinerary due to the tour being on Sunday. Our lunch stop was at a small restaurant which our guide pre booked for us. Great choice. He also added a late stop a a small cafe on our way back from the tour. This was done so we didn't have such a long drive without a break. Very thoughtful and appreciated.
