Amazing views, great tour! - Had an amazing trip to the Isle of Skye with my family, all thanks to our tour guide Andrew T! He was so funny and knowledgeable, and brought us to so many beautiful locations. Visiting the Isle of Skye has been a dream for so long, and we’re so glad to have been brought around by Andrew for our maiden trip here! :D

Excellent Tour and Awesome Guide - This was an excellent tour of Isle of Skye and surrounding areas. The beauty and history is second to none. It’s three days you don’t want to miss. And added to that our excellent Scottish tour guide Jim. My wife and I have to say Jim is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had in our many years of traveling. He made this 3-day tour fun, informative, and engaging. Jim never skipped a beat. Additionally, on the logistics side Jim always kept us informed of exact times we would be picked up and he was on time like a Swiss watch always. We will miss having Jim.

Isle Skye with Timberbush tours - We had an amazing 3 day trip to Skye and back . Martin our driver / guide was outstanding . He was pleasant , knowledgeable and very engaging . We were a group of 14 people and the van we travelled in was very comfortable , clean and modern . Must mention charging ports on board were available and useful since were were on the road for long hours . But it would be nice to have WiFi on board as well . This tour covered all the tourist spots at a comfortable pace . Highly recommend Timberbush tours and hope you get Martin as your guide .

Wonderful 3-day Isle of Skye tour - The sights on the Isle of Skye tour were fantastic, and we really appreciated our tour guide Paul’s (Handsome Santa) devotion to creating a merry atmosphere throughout the trip as well as fitting in time to take us to some secret and spectacular spots to view the scenery of the various landmarks around. And the best bathroom breaks, if that’s a thing. Paul’s stories are long-winded and great, and we were very happy to have him for this journey!

This Tour is Not to Be Missed! - We would recommend this tour to everyone! Timberbush Tours curated the best first tour experience that we could've ever had. We had never been to Scotland before and this tour of the Highlands and Isle of Skye was all that we could ask for and more. These locations are stunning. If you think you can visit Scotland without leaving the city, you are sorely wrong. Definitely make this leap with Timberbush. The whole experience was so easy and seamless. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has any decision fatigue. You show up to the tour and then they figure out how to get you from place and to place and where to stop. Each stop was better than the next. We chose the option where Timberbush booked our accommodations for us and the B&B we stayed at was wonderful. Timberbush is one of only 2 tour companies that has access to guests staying directly in Portree. That should not be ignored when considering your tour! One of the main reasons that our tour experience was so perfect was because of our tour guides Jim and Jimmy. They approached this whole experience which so much dedication, respect and charm. The whole time we felt safe and heard, which is crucial when traveling to a new place. Jim was so thoughtful and knowledgable about Scotland. You can tell how much he enjoys history and is passionate about sharing it. He was always ready to share a new fact and create an interesting narrative to everything around us. It's hard to imagine this whole experience without either of them at the helm because everything was so fun. I wish people had an option to choose their guides because you would absolutely want them! Our favorite part was how personal everything felt. We would not have gotten to see some things on our tour if it wasn't for their intention and carefulness. I hope Timberbush considers expanding throughout Europe. I would absolutely book them again!

Isle of Skye - Beauty of Scotland - This trip is a must if one is visiting the Highlands. The scenic beauty of the Isle of Skye, the topography made the tour every bit worth the effort. We did have rains on one of the days, but that made the experience even better with a magical mist engulfing the hills, making them look even more beautiful. Our tour guide Lorna made the 3 day tour extremely interesting and enjoyable with her wide knowledge and information about history, mythology, local food. She made it a point to stop at lots of places so that the long drives were not uncomfortable. Lots of recommendations regarding good places to eat, to pick up souvenirs.

Harry Coo great guide- 3 days Isle of Skye - A good guide makes the trip good, a great guide changes your doubting you should have signed up for it to so glad you did. William was that great guide. I have traveled a lot and seen many beautiful landscapes. The Highlands are, indeed, beautiful, but some stops were barely punctuations in the monotony of beauty. (Please grant me poetic license as I recognize this princess problem.) Even without a unique activity at each stop, William made this trip fascinating and fun. As if his humorous and comprehensive history telling weren’t enough, he has a playlist prepared to accompany it. While that speaks to his guiding talents, what you wouldn’t otherwise know is he also cared about each person in the tour. He got something to mitigate one participant’s morning sickness and followed up on another participant who didn’t show up the second morning. Even without these distractions, he kept the rest of the group happy. As I walked to the bus the first morning, I wished I hadn’t planned so many days away from Edinburgh. With William at the helm, I returned to Edinburgh glad that I did.
