Nothing to say but GREAT - First day of the tour, first day with our guide Jack W., and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. From the moment we left Glasgow, Jack showed us a side of the city we would never have discovered on our own. We quickly headed out toward our different stops, and throughout the entire day, Jack made the experience exceptional; he is a wellspring of knowledge and anecdotes of all kinds, which made us appreciate the journey even more — all shared with a smile and great energy. The tour was smooth, extremely well designed, with fantastic stops and excellent recommendations on where to eat. Throughout the day, not only did we learn about Scotland’s history as we discovered its incredible landscapes, but our guide’s professionalism and passion for his work made everything even more enjoyable. A special shout-out to his playlist, which throughout the trip served as a fun mnemonic tool to help us better understand and remember the places we passed through. For the price, I find the excursion more than reasonable. The Loch Lomond cruise and the visit to Stirling Castle are optional add-ons, but both are absolutely worth it — especially Stirling Castle if you want to hold the “keys to the Kingdom of Scotland.” Free guided tours are offered at the castle, led by wonderful guides who love their work and are passionate about sharing the history of this beautiful country. Only Scots can speak about Scotland — and reveal it to you at its finest — and this day was a perfect example of that! Marie.J

Loch Lomond Tour - Had a great time at the Loch Lomond tour in November. Our guide Wee Davie was absolutely amazing and gave great recommendations for lunch, shared with us history of Scotland and cracked some very funny Dad jokes. He went out of the way to support everyone on the trip. We did Loch Lomond cruise, went to Callander for Lunch- had sandwiches from Mhor shop, ended with Sterling Castle. The tour started at 9:30am and we were back to Glasgow at around 6pm. Highly recommend the trip.

From Castles to Lochs – Discovering Scotland’s charm with Timberbush - Our Loch Lomond, The Trossachs, and Stirling Castle tour from Glasgow with Andrew from Timberbush Tours, was another delightful experience. Andrew was a wonderful guide, friendly, funny, and full of fascinating stories that made Scottish history both entertaining and easy to connect with. Stirling Castle was impressive (my second visit though), filled with centuries of history, and the boat ride on Loch Lomond offered a peaceful contrast, calm waters surrounded by stunning scenery. The day was perfectly balanced between exploration and relaxation, and Andrew’s friendly approach made it all the more enjoyable. It’s a tour we’d happily recommend to anyone visiting Scotland.

Wee David! - an excellent tour if you fancy seeing the beautiful outskirts of Scotland. the tour included only 16 people so manageable in terms of time management. the boat cruise in loch lomond was canceled due to weather conditions but Wee David made sure that we saw other places to fill the time. he also had loads of (funny!) jokes which was useful when we were en route to destinations. we liked this particular tour because the driving was shorter compared to other tours which meant more time for sightseeing.
