グラスゴー: ネス湖＆インヴァネス＆ザ・ハイランズ2日間ツアー

We really enjoyed our tour with Australian Mark. He’s very knowledgeable about Scottish history and took good care of us. He was very prompt with his pick ups and drop offs, keeping us on schedule the entire trip.

This tour is an awesome taster of the Scottish Highlands and the perfect way to see some incredible sights in a comfy, air-conditioned bus! Anne was our guide and she was an absolute delight - we had so much fun obsessing over Outlander and having a laugh on our bus ride. She had heaps of info to share about all our tour destinations, which made our tour engaging and educational.

Very well organized and prompt. Freddie, our guide, was very sociable and knowledgeable. The van was clean and comfortable.

The tour was absolutely lovely. We got to see amazing hidden gems around Scotland. Took the two day trip from Glasgow to Inverness to Edinburgh. Ample time was given to every spot. Our Tour guide and driver Mark (The Australian one, very important) was exceptionally friendly, full of knowledge to impart about everything we saw from the Sites to the geography of Scotland and really kept the entire tour jovial and exciting. Highly recommend to have him be the one to guide you. Everything was very convenient and flexible to the wants and needs of the entire group. Great stuff all around.

Very well organized trip. Any eventualities were handled expertly. Our tour guide, Gillian, was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Great time had! (I would only caution to make dinner reservations before arriving in Inverness as most spots will be booked.)

The tour was very beautiful with stunning views and the towns you get to explore have gift shops and restaurants for meals. Alistair was a great guide, very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. Highly recommend!

We took the two day highlands tour with Alistair. It was fabulous, and he was a great guide! We saw so many beautiful sites and learned so much about the area. The tour is wonderful because if you stay in a certain radius, it will drop you off in the evening and pick you up the next morning over the trip. We thought Alistair was entertaining and did a great job navigating around the many wrecks in the highlands that day. We would definitely go again!

Our guide, Adam, was the perfect blend of funny and informative who drove safely and was attentive to our comfort. We experienced a wonderful cross section of the Highlands with limited time in Scotland.

In February 2025, I researched tours of Scotland for my upcoming trip in June with my adult daughter. We selected Timberbush Tours--Loch Ness, Inverness & The Highlands – 2-Day Tour as we wanted to see the Highlands and especially to visit Culloden. Our preference would have been to depart and return to either Edinburgh or Glasgow, but the only openings available were a pick up in Glasgow and a drop off in Edinburgh with return train tickets provided. This is what we booked. Pick up was to be in Glasgow; register at 1000 for a 1015 departure. Approximately two weeks before our trip I paid for and obtained tickets for the tour. The tickets clearly indicated to be at the pick up location to register at 1000 with a departure time of 1015. We were crossing the street to the pick up location at 0950 and saw a Timberbush van drive away but thought nothing of it until 1030 when our bus had not yet arrived. I contacted Timberbush, and after some delay were advised that we had been late arriving and the bus had left without us. They indicated we should have been there at 0935 and the bus had left at 0950 as scheduled. Fault was placed on ourselves, but they did offer to let us rejoin the tour the following day from Inverness if we could make our own way there. This we did incurring an additional cost of $90 CAD to take the public bus from Glasgow to Inverness. The following day, the tour guide/driver picked us up later than expected and the tour started at Culloden. We were permitted approximately 45 minutes to go through the lovely interpretive center, and then walk the moor. We could easily have spent half a day at that site! We then progressed to Clava Cairns, another amazing historical site, and were allowed 20 minutes to spend there. We could easily have spent double that. We stopped at a roadside market for lunch and were given approximately 90 minutes when 30 minutes would have been adequate. Then onto Ruthven Barracks, which is a striking historical landmark. We were given only 20 minutes there, then onto Pitlochry where we were given about 90 minutes to see the fish ladder, have a beer, or,what by this time was becoming apparent, to spend tourist dollars. During the drive our guide had been doing very little talking or providing little explanation of the countryside unless questioned. We did stop at The Hermitage, and he led us through that lovely national site with a guided explanation. I cannot speak to the first day of the tour, but our impression was definitely that we were given plenty of time to spend to our tourist dollars but insufficient time to enjoy the national landmarks. Following the tour, I did get a message back from the Timberbush manager acknowledging the departure time from Glasgow was their error and a 50% refund was provided. I requested reimbursement for the $90 CAD bus ticket to Inverness to rejoin the tour but received no response. The bus leaving us stranded in Glasgow was very stressful & frustrating. The remainder of the tour was improved by the natural & historic beauty of the destinations. My daughter and I were both very disappointed with Timberbush and do not recommend this company.

Australian Mark was absolutely wonderful. He touched on every major scenic sight and shared his own personal experiences alongside. I really love how personal he made the tour and how he brought everyone in the group together. Very positive energy and exciting to be around! I would definitely do this tour again if I were to come back. Would highly recommend to others whether you’re going as a family, friends, or even for business. It’s a very thorough and intriguing tour.
