Divine dreaminess! - Michael was our tour guide and it was a wonderful trip - very informative and thorough! We saw all the sights on our itinerary and we kept to the schedule effectively but never felt shortchanged at any location. The weather was lovely nearly the entire time although in some locations the wind can be bracing! The entire group got along beautifully and new friendships, even just for 2 days, were forged. If you don’t want to deal with the intimidation of renting a car and braving the narrow, winding roads, this is a great way to travel with comfort and ease! Plenty of stops for excursions, photo ops, views, hot beverages/meals and restrooms. I would happily recommend this to others and loved the experience!

This tour made our trip! I can’t recommend enough! - Knowing I didn’t want to challenge myself with driving the coast on narrow roads, I took a chance and booked. Our guide Michael was a pleasure. He safely got us to every location on time, taught us the history, and gave us great advice for each location. If you want a stress free tour go with Timberbush.

Amazing experience! - Our guide Tonks was AMAZING! She showed us so many places and gave us bits of Scottish history and legends along the way. She has a way of telling things that is so interesting and her dynamism is contagious. The landscapes are just out of this world, and we got many "pictures stops" apart from the set itinerary. If you hesitate on what trip to book, stop right now and take this one! I would recommend 200%!

Magnificent Skye - The tour was fantastic and Will was a very informative and helpful guide. We were 3 generations, and we all had a lovely time with seeing all we had hoped to see and more. The only complaint was the accommodation in Portree. The put us in an inn above a pub. We were all exhausted after a very long day and had to listen to music under our head, which did not stop until 1130. The room was dirty and smelly. I have traveled a lot and this was the worse I have been in. Luckily the next day tour was so wonderful we forgot Al about the horrible previous night. Thank you Will.

Wonderful 2 day tour through Skye - Somehow I fluked a weekend with lovely weather for my tour through the Isle of Skye. The other fluke was to have Richard as a guide who was wholly flexible and made amazing suggestions to take advantage of this nice weather (with some additional costs that no one minded at all). He was full of knowledge and funny stories including a possible Nessie sighting! We took the small ferry from Glenelg over to Skye and managed to sneak in a wildlife cruise, which was just magical. I enjoyed every stop and despite us trying to fit it all in, I didn’t feel rushed. I thoroughly enjoyed the gardens at Dunvegan castle, many plants I’ve never seen before! The fairy pools walk was also great. The Quiraing views were breathtaking. The Portree stop was busy but I pre booked dinner as they suggested. The group size of 12 was perfect. A big thank you to Timberbush for the amazing adventure in Skye!
