Incredible - One of the best trips we have done in a while ! Absolutely stunning the whole experience ❤️ the highlight of the tour was our guide Laill Mackenzie, never come across a guide like him, the day was full of fascinating stories, Scottish music and a warm sweet person to share this beautiful experience with.
Am so so glad we took this tour and I can’t wait to go back and tell all my friends about this experience, also can’t wait to come back soon ❤️❤️

Great sights, Great guide, Great day - Lots of stops at different places and a good amount of time at each too. Not rushed and not hanging about. More stops than I expected so very worth the money and broke up the travel to Skye and back. Andy S, our tour guide was delightful and a cheery guy to chat to and told us facts and stories along the way. Thanks Andy!

What a Good Thing to Do! - We were uncertain whether this would be a worthwhile thing to do until we were greeted by our tour gide/driver Andy S. It turned out to be one of the best tours we have ever taken. The scenery was of course magnificent but it was Andy's knowledge, kindness and friendliness that really brought out the best of Scotland for us. We highly recommend this tour especially if Andy S is your guide!

Highly recommended! - My mother and I absolutely loved our 1-day trip to the Isle of Skye. Our guide was Marita and she was super friendly, knowledgeable and had some great stories to tell. We had such a great experience with Timberbush that we booked the Loch Ness tour the following day. Highly recommended!

Great day trip to Isle of Skye - Great excursion. Sandy (driver and tour guide guide) was friendly and informative and provided historical and cultural context. My only comment would be to reduce the 12 hour tour to about 10 hours (and cut a few of the stops)

Great day on the Isle of Skye - I had such an amazing day at the Isle of Skye, Portree is such a beautiful town! The Castle tour was beautiful, but the tour of the inside of the castle left a little to be desired. Marita was a fantastic guide, she is very informative with a great personality.
