Glasgow : Île de Skye, Highlands et Loch Ness - Excursion de 3 jours

Had an amazing three days touring Scotland and the Isle of Skye with our guide Aussie Mark! His knowledge was incredible - and we loved all the folklore shared as well! We are a family of four (two adults and a 9 and 13 year old) and this tour was a perfect way to learn and explore for kids and adults alike! We’ve never done a tour, and honestly I was reluctant to as we normally like to do our own thing - but this exceeded our expectations and was such a nice way to see tons, while learning and not having to worry about anything! Couldn’t recommend this tour more!!

Its a lot of driving through breathtaking landscapes. Coach was relatively comfortable and had cell phone plugs!! Our hotel had a lot of rules and no ice or microwave for guest use. The entire passenger group was focused on seeing highland cows. We stopped at one place and got to feed the cops and a baby coo. Not much other sighting of highland cows. Tons of sheep which we all enjoyed. The landscapes we magical. We had great weather, little windy, which added to the beauty of the place. I would definitely recommend!!

Beautiful itinerary and accommodation. But one thing destroyed most of my fun with you which is my sitting arrangements on the tour bus. Your driver/guide has very unusual way for sitting arrangements, which is who ever comes early got priority for choosing sit in bus. Which I found odd as we are picked up by your driver/guide. On day one me and my wife was picked up last as we were from Glasgow and sat on last row (which was very acceptable). Day two we were picked up somewhere in middle and we sat middle row. But day three, on our way back we picked up last and had to sat on last row again. Out of last row three places, me and my wife sat two out of three days, remaining one place sat by three different persons on three days. When same 6-9 people sat on first three rows in all three day. Which I found unjust. On day one I asked our tour guide/driver “ if this sit arrangement in rotation”- she said no. I requested her to make this on rotation so everyone will have same opportunity but she refused. I am not sure if she done this unfair treatment with my wife intentionally or not. Unfortunately I need to be honest with my friends and family back in Australia or other places when they will ask me about this tour with your company. I made this comment to to the tour company, unfortunately didn’t received any feedback from them yet

Andrew T. was an amazing tour guide! Being raised in the exact areas we toured, Andrew not only knew the “typical history and stories”, but was able to provide his own personal experiences having lived in Portree! He was even able to plan our days and routes around the local weather patterns, which he knew well, so we avoided the big groups and bad weather while exploring. I 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to explore the highlands.

The itinerary on Viator is not quite correct. I would recommend checking directly with Timberbush. The sights and people were unique and memorable. The food was delicious. Highly recommend The Springfield BnB just beware if you are a Campbell, Isabelle is a MacDonald ;) The only thing we had to be mindful of was the sparsity of toilets. We take for granted the amount of public toilets available in Canada.

Our tour guide, Jonathon, was wonderful. Knowledgeable, engaging, thoughtful, personable, and reliable. The environment of the Isle of Skye is such that it would be impossible not to be awed struck and amazed at the scenery. The only drawback to this tour, and why it didn’t achieve a 5-star rating is that the bus was inadequate. The bus holds 16 passengers; we had 14 on our tour. The seats, even the aisle seats (3 across; 2 on one side, 1 on the other) are small and crammed together with inadequate leg room. We’re on the bus for hours for 3 full days, with inadequate leg room. The back seat (4 across) had even smaller seats than the rows. I can’t imagine what it would be like with 4 people on the back seat. But again, our guide was wonderful, our accommodations were lovely, Skye itself is amazing.

Seumas was the best guide I have ever had. He did a great job with our diverse group. He helped make sure all of us got to see what was important to us. He had great stories and history to teach us. We also got to take excursions and hikes for beautiful views. It really felt like a personalized tour of the beautiful country. We had several stops along the way that helped keep us engaged and allowed us to stretch our legs. He always found special places to stop with cultural or beautiful scenery.

This was an exceptional tour. Our tour guide Mark knew so much about every place we went along with tales of the past. He also has a great sense of humour. We had a second guide on this trip, Vic, who was in training. She was so much fun! Scotland and particularly this Isle of Skye tour has been on my bucket list and it didn’t disappoint. I had the greatest time and would recommend anyone going to Scotland to tour with this group. Thanks again for the best time ever!

Absolutely recommend the tour. We had Simon as our guide, from the airport to the final day we had the best time. Knowledge, driving skills and a sense of humor, Simon was able to answer our questions.
