Memorable trip - The tour was fantastic! Our guide, Marty, did an excellent job of sharing interesting information and playing Scottish music to set the tone. He had the right balance between talk and letting us quietly enjoy the countryside. He could have told a few less puns/dad jokes but he was a great guide.

Outstanding Day Trip!!! - Allistair did a great job of providing lots of history to our journey, music that went along with his stories and color to our stops. We had the appropriate amount of free time with each stop (could always use more in St Andrew’s but that is for another trip!). Overall, great day trip from Edinburgh to see more of Scotland in a very easy, relaxing way! We had a small group (8 people) so we were in a very nice van vs bus - I would definitely recommend this day trip that way.

St Andrews - where the high and the mighty play. - The place is beyond compare - from the scenes at the golf range to the soothing beach across the road. Calming to the eye and soothing to the soul, St Andrews is a place where you go and enjoy the day. Must visit if you are around.

Great guide. Beautiful countryside and experience - We really enjoyed the 16 passenger van and Connor our guide. His funny jokes and detailed historical facts while driving were amazing. Loved Anstruther…saw the lifeboat being tanked out and launched!!!!! St Andrew was so lovely. We were blessed with sunshine and got to go into the ocean. The Faulkland Castle was very good…beautiful gardens. It was a fun fun trip!

Stay away from Timberbush Tours. - Having our guide give the tour members the wrong direction to be picked up after lunch, riding in a couch with out air conditioning, that was not functioning before the arrival. And being told by the tour office that air conditioning in a sealed vehicle is a privilege not a right and last but not least being lied to by our guide Jim, who told me we would be reimburse for our troubles for future tour we would cancel. That never happened. Instead we were told it would have to go through a lengthy appeal process that we would have to initiate. Our vehicle was stopped numerous times for mechanical problems that could have endangered the passengers with out any explanation.
