Great expérience - Vers Nice Journey, wonderful places and beautiful landscapes. The restaurant was also really great. It was possible to walk and visit the suroundings during the différent stops. And the guide was perfect.

The tour with Luke... - The tour with Luke Skywalker was fantastic. We loved too see the ginger highland cows (they were so adorable!). We also saw amazing lamdscapes and we enjoyed the music on the bus. But the highlight was Callum the deer! Thanks Luke

Great tour. - This tour is a good way to experience the scottish highlands. You can just sit back enjoy the scenery and leave the driving to someone else. Our guides Kathleen and Sinclair were absolutely great, full of knowledge and very helpful and friendly. And Kathleen is one heck of a skilled driver. I definitely recommend taking this tour with these two guides.

This Applecross tour will be the highlight of your trip - Marita was a fantastic tour leader. The scenery is spectacular and the narration of history and folklore was fascinating. You will see wildlife, waterfalls, majestic mountains, gorgeous flowers and trees. There are plenty of stops for refreshments and bathroom. Marita is an excellent driver on narrow roads. One of the best tours I've taken hands down.

Beautiful Scottish highlands - I took the tour of Applecross and Torridon with our guide/driver Mike. He was very knowledgeable and funny, his Scottish accent was delightful to hear. He told us many stories and took good care of us. We took the Pasage of the cattle N500 route that supposed to be very spectacular but due to bad rain and thick fog we could not see much of these spectacular views. Other views were absolutely stunning and they make you fall in love with Scotland and want to come back. The tour is very well organised and a pleasant day spend. It is delightful to see how all drivers take pride in being Scottish and it melts uour heart. Well done Mike . Highly recommend Timberbush Tours with its alll brilliant people 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good scenic tour but with unexpected problem - The tour was interesting,- scenic wild Scotland and very few tourists. One thing I really didn’t like: when I booked the tour I was told the seats can’t be reserved in advance. Sometimes I feel motion sickness sitting at the rear so I was one of the first who came to the bus. However, Richard the guide did not allow me to sit in the front saying these seats were reserved. Very unfair and not customer friendly

Scenery made it worth it - This tour took us so far into the Highlands and to incredible spots with breathtaking views. We had plenty of stops and opportunities to take photos and were constantly in awe. For the destinations and views alone, I would definitely recommend this tour. Unfortunately, the two tour guides that spent the day with us made it hard for us to enjoy the time on the bus (which was obviously a lot). Jack was our driver and he was joined by another guide, Chris, who took notes and was there to see the route, I think. Jack was friendly, upbeat and knowledgeable, and I'm sure would've been completely fine by himself, but the two of them together were super obnoxious. Oftentimes, we felt as though they were taking a private trip together and us guests just happened to be on the same bus because they spent so much time chatting about private things and really being incredibly loud with zero self-awareness. Being subjected to this for hours and hours really wore us down. We took another tour with a different company that lasted 12 hours and that didn't feel nearly as long because we were able to enjoy ourselves the entire day.
