Praise for Nick - The tour was great and a lot of fun, with many amazing sights to see, but our guide, Nick, really made it a truly memorable experience. He has great taste in music, he’s a wonderful storyteller, and very, very funny, a one-man comedy show, really. I almost enjoyed his stories more than the actual tour itself (which is saying a lot). You’re definitely lucky if you get him as your guide, we had a great time! Nick definitely deserves a raise, or at the very least a cookie. 😜

The Guide who turns a tour to an Adventure! - Nick is truly one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had! He’s not only a very nice person, but also incredibly funny—always keeping the group alive, engaged, and never bored throughout the journey. His energy and humor made the experience feel less like a tour and more like an adventure with friends. What stood out the most was how much he cared about everyone’s safety and enjoyment. He constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and having a good time. His instructions were always simple, clear, and easy to follow, which made the whole trip stress-free. Nick also has a natural talent for storytelling, he doesn’t just share information, he makes it fun, relatable, and memorable. You can really tell he loves what he does, and that passion makes the tour so much more special. He doesn’t just guide you through places, he creates experiences you’ll never forget.

A trip worth taking. - We had an amazing time, our driver and guide Nick was helpful, knowledgeable and funny. He kept up a running commentary of information and stories throughout the trip.which was both useless and useful. The slides were amazing instead of looking at more coos"guess who"Nick

Great Experience - Our tour guide, Nick, was brilliant. Not just his knowledge of the history of Scotland but his ability to connect with us. Thanks Nick for a great day. Sorry we couldn’t bring the weather from home 😄

Very well spent full day tour - Connor was an excellent guide/ driver that made the long day truly enjoyable and enriching. He makes extra effort to ensure everyone had a good time and safety was his priority. Excellent driving skills also to bring everyone back safely

Great fun would recommend to my friends - I booked this trip for me and my mother and we had a great time with fellow travellers and our driver Nick ☺️ our driver is very knowledgable and funny, a lot of history and story times, and very organised interactions too; if I come back to Edinburgh in the future would book a tour with Timberbush again
