Fabulous! - A fabulous tour which gave us a great flavour of the Highlands. Well planned to see important sites and beautiful scenery, including seeing and following the Harry Potter Jacobite train 😃. Coach very comfortable and plenty of comfort breaks. Timing at stops sufficient too. Icing on the cake was our guide and driver, Martina. She was excellent. Gave us a comfortable and safe drive, along with lots of interesting info as well as her fun, uplifting personality. Thanks Martina !! 👍Also, Timberbush Tours for a great day 😀

Tour to Glenfinnan - The tour was excellent! The guide shared interesting insights about the sites we visited, and the schedule was well-balanced with time for both sightseeing and relaxation. We explored beautiful landmarks. The small group size made it feel more personal, and the transportation was comfortable. I'd definitely recommend this tour for a memorable experience.

Chris did a great job and highlands are beautiful! - The highlands are beautiful and we had fun seeing the train cross the viaduct. Our driver/ tour guide, Chris, did a great job “chasing” the train, where we were driving along side it and even saw it pass Dumbledore’s grave! Chris did a great job sharing highlights of the area and we could really tell how proud he was of his country. He asked frequently how we were all doing and offered to take our family picture several times. He did his best to make sure we enjoyed the tour. Thanks Chris!

Amazing guide (MALCOLM) great tour !! - The trip operated by Timberbush Tours was amazing because we had a great guide in MALCOLM. He ensured we get great sightings of the Jacobite express and constantly regaled us with Scottish history and tales

Try another tour - Honestly not very many, very disappointing for a Viator tour...Glenffian that was it, We felt it was a wasted day of just driving around Loch Ness, and trying to fill in the time
