A Joyous Adventure with Timberbush Tours! - I can't stop smiling after my recent tour with Timberbush Tours—it was an absolute blast! David and Adam were like the dream team of tour guides—clever, funny, and incredibly nice. Their witty banter and infectious laughter kept us all entertained, turning what could have been a simple tour into a joyful adventure. David's knowledge of the destinations we visited was impressive, and Adam's expert driving skills ensured a smooth ride throughout. I left the tour feeling not only enlightened about the places we explored but also uplifted by the genuine warmth and camaraderie shared by everyone onboard. Count me in for another tour with David, Adam, and Timberbush Tours—it's an experience I'd happily relive again and again!

Fantastic Views - Our tour guide Connor was lovely. He was funny and very knowledgeable of everywhere we stopped. Every stop was more beautiful than the last and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to just do a day trip into the highlands.

Great experience. Mary... - Great experience. Mary and Steve our guides were very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on Scotland without being overbearing. Locations we stopped were beautiful. We particularly like the music they played in the bus, it contributed to the whole experience. Thank you!

SUCH A GREAT DAY! - We had an amazing day with Tom who was super professional and hilarious, such a good company, thank you so much! Thanks also to Sean our excellent driver at his first day! :)
We did a fantastic tour, we saw the principal spots of the beautiful highlands. We didn’t saw anything about this tour during the booking, we won’t any spoilers and we did the right thing!
Thank you again to Tom and Sean we had such a great time with you! I hope to return soon to Edinburgh, so next time I will book another tour with this company :)

GO BOOK NOW - One of the most fun and entertaining tours I've ever had. Tom and Sean/Shawn? ( his first official day after training which we found out at the end) were very welcoming and kind. Super informative and educational throughout the whole trip. Also like absolute comedians and sweethearts letting us know we're always welcomed in Scotland <333333 10000% will recommend to friends and family like I would literally book the longer trips with them when I do come back !!!!

Loved!! - Had Tom as our guide and Shaun as our excellent driver. Tom was hilarious and so kind-hearted, really made me feel welcomed and the whole trip worthwhile. Highly recommend this tour as there was so much to see, even in the off-season. Also, got to see the infamous highland cows!!

Amazing daytrip with a great guide - We had an amazing time during our day trip to Glenfinnan and Glencoe. Our tourguide Connor was fantastic, he made a few extra stops due to the sunny weather and gorgeous views during the drive. He was knowledgeable, very funny and kind. Would totally recommend booking a tour with this company!

View of Bridge is not the one shown - Our guide, Mary, and driver, Stevie, were excellent and made the long drive go by quickly with historical/ cultural facts and playing Scottish music.
Some warnings to future travelers: 1. You do NOT see the viaduct from the angle shown. You get to see it from a viewing platform, which is still a good sight, but is from the other side from the picture used on the tour information. 2. We went off itinerary a bit and got lunch at a ski lodge and did not stop at Fort William, we just drove by it. The lunch stop was fine, but we feel we missed an opportunity to see another town.
Outside of those two points, this tour was lovely and you learn and see a lot in 1 day!
