Top Inverness Day Trips

What a fantastic experience with Timberbush Tours! From start to finish, our Isle of Skye adventure was exceptionally well organized, with breathtaking scenery, fascinating history and plenty of memorable stops along the way. Our tour guide Jason was outstanding! Engaging, incredibly knowledgeable and full of interesting stories about Scotland’s history, culture and landmarks. The commentary throughout the journey made the experience so much more enjoyable. The itinerary was perfectly paced, taking us from the beautiful Eilean Donan Castle to the colourful harbour of Portree, the dramatic Old Man of Storr and the spectacular Kilt Rock. Each stop offered plenty of time to explore, take photographs and enjoy the scenery without ever feeling rushed. Bathroom and refreshment breaks were thoughtfully scheduled, making a full day of sightseeing comfortable and relaxing. Timberbush really knows how to deliver a memorable Scottish adventure. A wonderful combination of spectacular landscapes, great storytelling and thoughtful planning. Five stars and an enthusiastic recommendation to anyone looking to experience the magic of the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye!

Charlie was an exceptional tour guide. He was amusing and informative, even taught us a little Gaelic. Hahahaha! We had plenty of time to experience Clara Cairns and learn some history as well as Outlander trivia, then visit Culloden. We had an extra stop to visit some highland coos on our way to Glen Affric where we had some beautiful hiking and views. Rabbie tours and Charlie are a must experience. Had a blast.

Lovely ride out along the Loch as far as Urquhart Castle. I only booked the ticket for the ride, so we stayed for just a few minutes to let those with castle tickets get off, and then headed back to the harbour. It was simple and peaceful, with an informative pre-recorded commentary playing overhead. That was a bit difficult to hear at times, but in an environment with so many other people and not everyone interested, it's natural for side conversations to drown it out. The crew did an amazing and professional job, and kudos to them, also!

This tour was fantastic! Donnie was our guide and he was personable, knowledgeable, and funny. He was a safe driver, too! There are a few places not on the listing that I actually think should be included in the description; maybe there’s a reason they’re not. But I reeeeally wanted to see the coos while in the highlands and saw them in the review photos vs the listing itself. Took me a lot of research to find just the right tour. We took a gamble on that and the distillery portion being included as they weren’t guaranteed but were mentioned in some reviews - essential visits if you’re not from Scotland! We got to do both as well as see everything on the tour listing (with some extra time!) The bus departed at 8:15, got back at about 5. Didn’t feel exhausting at all though we walked 7 miles. Wonderful overall. Highly recommend. Only note is the bathrooms in Beauly for the lunch stop that are public all had no soap or toilet paper - not reliable so find an alternative ahead of time. Sunday also left some stores closed when we had a little bit of a break but it worked out still.

Fantastic tour with the best driver! Mike was lovely and very entertaining. It would have been good to know in advance that cash is needed to book the boat as we didn’t have any. There was a cash point in Urquhart castle but theoretically you need a ticket to the castle to get there which we didn’t have. Staff were lovely though and let us through anyway.

Our driver Neil was great! Really funny and excellent driving skills. We had great weather and were fortunate enough to see all the sights in great timing. He has a map of Scotland on the bus which was useful throughout the tour. His music choice was also great!

We did the Glenfinnan Tour with Brendon and it was a lovely experience! The tour included a lot of wonderful spots to explore and Brendon had so many interesting stories and facts to share with us. He really went out of his way to show us all of these beautiful places (and more!) and took great care of everyone taking the tour that day.

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).
