    Amazing scenery
    Naturally the weather wasn't the best on the day of our tour but we had a great tour in spite of that. Malcolm, our guide, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and an excellent driver.

    Great day, great driver and even better Scottish music!
    Liall was the perfect driver / host for our day tour to Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle. Liall provided informative commentary enhanced by a playlist of Scottish music to create the perfect atmosphere for the day! He was respectful of all customers and as a close to the day played the National anthem of each person on the bus!
    I would highly recommend this tour from Inverness.

    Amazing! Totally recommend
    It was an amazing experience! The guide (William) created an amazing experience allowing us to see, understand the historical context of the places. We did more of what was planned and allowed us to visit so many amazing places, understand the facts behind the places, always with the best environment. Because it was a short group(8people) it's easier to follow up. It was the best experience. I fully recommend and if you were lucky to have William as your guide , you will learn a lot of the history in a great environment. Overall I love it. Thank you

    A trip to my Native land...
    Best day ever. Wonderful story tellers. Worth every minute. Who knew that giant beasts of all kinds live in River Ness (I watched carefully for Nessy). The Fairy Pools were so dramatic. The hike to the top of the pools was invigorating, and the surrounding mountains reminded me how insignificant we are... and ancient...they are. Xxoo

    Great Time Touring the Isle of Skye for 2 days
    Just returned from a 2 day tour of the Isle of Skye with Timberbush tours which had an excellent selection of stops over the two days and our accommodation selected by the tour company for the one night was a nice B&B. I was originally thinking of renting a car and driving around on my own, but then common sense set in and my wife and I booked this tour and very happy we did. The roads on Skye in many places are just one vehicle wide and getting to the various sights would be difficult if you didn't know your way around. Our tour guide, Jack, obviously did and was a very safe driver. Plus Jack with Scottish Kilts and a Clansman beard looked like he had just stepped out of the movie "Braveheart". Jack is very knowledgeable of the Inverness and Skye areas, plus has many historical stories, which made the tour even more interesting. If you want to tour the Isle of Skye, it would be hard to beat the Timberbush tour, especially if your lucky enough to have Jack as your tour guide.

    Well worth going on this tour.
    Great tour and wonderful guide who was a local with lots of knowledge about the areas visited. Enjoyed all aspects despite some rainy weather at Culloden. Lovely drive through the Scottish countryside.

    Wonderful experience of Loch Ness
    Although it was disappointing to have our original booking cancelled due to weather, we were thrilled that we could enjoy the cruise the following day. It provided a wonderful view of Loch Ness (the weather cooperated that day!) and the time spent at Urquhart Castle was inspiring although we would have liked a bit more time to explore.

    Perfect personalized half day tour
    I recommend this tour 1000 percent. Richie is a fabulous tour guide. It was like hanging with your buddy who happens to be a historian! This was a perfect day for my husband and I. We were in Inverness for only two days and wanted the chance to take in the most significant historical sights nearby and still have time to rest and spend time in the beautiful city of Inverness. We got everything we wanted and more. Richie was communicative, kind, and all around fun to hang out with. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable and also gave us our own time to explore and take the time we wanted. I will be recommending home to my friends and family and will certainly book again with him when I’m up this way next.

    Lovely views and great tour
    This tour was so enjoyable. Our tour guide was Amy who was absolutely amazing! She was funny, sweet and had all the right side stops picked out with nice views.

    Everything was perfectly curated in such a way that it didn't feel like 12 hours.

    Loved it! Thank you

    Great Mini Historical Tour
    Very informative and a great way to get introduced to Inverness. There was plenty of historical knowledge we were given and it helped to understand more about Scotland in general.

    AMAZING TOUR GUIDE!!! Super safe
    BOOK THEM NOW! Had the best time of my life. You get more than what you paid for. They drive you everywhere, far into the isles of skyes. We went to so many cities I can’t even count them. Our tour guide Rod, was a hilarious, sweet and very informative!! We learned so much history. Got to see beautiful sights, ate at great restaurants, and made a lot of stops on the way to just explore! I would definitely recommend this company. You will feel like you saw all of Scotland and it’s safe. Rod made sure to check on us constantly, asking if we needed anything, and head counted us to make sure no one was forgotten! I’m glad I used them, I wouldn’t have been able to drive in those highlands as an American. Be safe and choose hairy coo as your tour guide. If you are an active person you will get the chance to wander villages!! We walked 10 miles a day. If you are just taking it slow or disabled, feel free to sit down at a restaurant or a beautiful spot! This tour is for everyone.

    An absolutely wonderful day
    Our guide Mo was exceptional. She shared an amazing amount of information, both historical and local lore. She took us to various sites and explained some of their history and let us explore them on our own. It was a great day and I would recommend it anyone.

    Best day out of all rainy days
    It was raining. All day. But Gordon made this day the highlight of our first trip to Scotland. We visited Fairy Glen, fed the hairy coos and whiled deers, stopped for photos and souvenirs. Gordon is very knowledgeable, fun to spend a day with and a great host. He made us fall in love with the Highlands!
    Don’t hesitate, book him. You wouldn’t regret it. He will make you forget about the weather and will give you the best experience of his beautiful country.

    A Perfect Day
    This was the absolute best way to see Loch Ness and surrounding areas, with no worries about driving on narrow roads, parking or finding the best view points, it was all taken care of. Our guide Scott, was entertaining, very knowledgeable and a fantastic driver. I will be highly recommending this tour to everyone.

    A Magical Mystical Tour
    A 15 Seater New Mercedes Mini Bus arrived driven by Harrison our tour guide for our 12hr Day trip. As we headed to Loch Ness and GlenUrquhart Castle Harrison explained what and where the tour was taking us. As we drove through the lifting mist with the soft Gaelic music in the background our tour begins.
    Harrison gave in fine detail the history the folklore even the fairytales of all the designated destinations. There was stops all along the route and photographs in abundance. The sun was spectacular showing the Isle of Skye at its Majestical best. This tour has left me with everlasting memories and the Isle of Skye has a special place in my heart
