It was a nice travel day, there was rain off and on, but overall very nice weather and wonderful scenery
Wonderful experience. Able to see so much of Scotland in a day. The guide, Charlie, was especially delightful and knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend taking this tour.
Hi there, thank you for your review. We are very happy to hear that you had a fantastic time on tour with our driver-guide Charlie. We are sure he will be glad to know that you learned a lot from his commentary throughout the day. Finally, we are very glad to hear you would recommend our tours to others! We hope we will see you again on one of our tours again soon! Many thanks again, Luisa
Blair was an amazing guide, very optimistic and upbeat despite our bus breaking down and a change in the itinerary for the day! Blair, you rock!!!!!
Really nice tour. Kevin, the driver and tour guide had a great personality and was a good driver for the 11-12 hour trip
Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour. His friendly personality and expert driving are a great combination for these journeys. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words. Thank you for choosing Timberbush!
Trip was amazing. Jack is the best guide/driver to have in such long trips.
Jack W is an excellent guide! His driving skills on narrow sketchy roads with other tour buses and logging trucks was phenomenal! Very knowledgeable.
Tour guide Jack W was wonderful. Knowledgeable, funny, articulate in explaining history. Highland sites were gorgeous! Didn't get to see Nessie today, so Jack made sure we got to feed the cows instead.
Timberbush you are lucky to have employee like Jack.. Jack was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! From start to finish, he kept the whole trip fun, engaging, and full of interesting stories. His knowledge of Scotland's history, culture, and landmarks was outstanding, and his sense of humour made the long drives fly by. The stops at Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Loch Ness, and meeting the adorable Highland coos were all unforgettable highlights. Jack's enthusiasm and passion for Scotland really made the experience special, and he was always happy to answer questions and share local insights. The only part I felt wasn't worth it was the optional boat trip on Loch Ness, as it didn't add much to the overall experience. Everything else, however, was excellent, and I would highly recommend this tour—especially if you're lucky enough to have Jack as your guide!
We had an amazing experience. Although we couldn’t reach our final destination (Loch Ness) because of a traffic collision- we had a wonderful time. Our guide Blair was unbelievable! He improvised and we explored a different route. He kept very clam under pressure due to the accident and made the whole experience fun. We could thank Blair enough. A credit to the company.
Wow. What an experience this was. The guide was incredible. Exceedingly informative and well knowledged. Highly reccomend.
