Great stopping points. No stress - We booked this tour to see the far north. Timberbush did not disappoint. Michael was our guide. We had ample stops to stretch. We learned a ton of history. We made new friends and felt extremely safe along the way.

Wonderful day - We really enjoyed the whole day. Jack our driver and guide was friendly, knowledgeable and organised. This trip gave us the opportunity to see Scotland’s beautiful countryside and get to places that we wouldn’t otherwise have been able to visit. We loved Dunrobin Castle, John O Groats and seeing the coastline. We were lucky to have spectacular weather which added to our enjoyment of the day.

Great day out. - We enjoyed a wonderful day out on this tour. Driver and guide Chris was so friendly and informative. Really enjoyed the stop at Dunrobin Castle. Very interesting castle and gardens. Delighted to spend time at John O'Groats area. Met some lovely folk on the very comfortable bus. Plenty of rest stops along the way. Great day out and we were lucky to have had good weather.

Excellent - It was all above expectations, all as a package stood out, we found the castle unlike any we had seen before, the amount of time spent there was just right as was the time at our destination and we really loved all the scenery we saw as we journeyed

Explore the North of Scotland - Excellent Tour and Guide - What an incredible day! Alex, our driver and guide did a magnificent job of both keeping us safe on those winding roads and giving us a tremendous amount of information. We saw so much on this 11.5 hour day from Castles to small towns to the windy northern town of John O'Goates. We even had a request, from me, to see if we could do an unplanned stop at two very old bridges and Alex made it happen. His suggestion for a Lobster sandwich at Tasty Toes was perfect and delicious. We have been driving around Scotland on our own. This tour was well worth the money to let someone else take us around and just enjoy the scenery and the knowledge of a great guide. I would highly recommend this excursion and if you are lucky enough to get Alex as your guide - BONUS.

Foggy weather blocked our view! - The weather was heavy fog for most of the day so we missed being able to see a lot of the scenery. Our guide Alex made a good effort to describe what we should have been seeing, but the lack of a view was disappointing. Obiously, the tour company can't control the weather. The highlight of the day was a falconry show that was very interesting to watch.
