West Highlands, Lochs and Castles - The trip was well planned with the appropriate amount of stops for the appropriate amount of time. Scott was our guide. He was quite knowledgeable about all the sites we passed or stopped at. Also a wiz with the history of the country and those who figured prominently in shaping its history. His sense of humor was fantastic. Absolutely loved the quaint town of Inveraray.

Terrific tour with entertaining and informative commentary! - The tour was a full day with Kenny. What a great source of information and stories and humour! I doubt many people have his historical knowledge at the tip of their tongues! I was regaling my family with the tales and facts he shared to the point I’m sure I was annoying! Obviously the scenery and stops were beautiful. Coach was comfortable. Had a great day!

Very fun. Worth it if you love Monty Python - Had a great time with Jada! We enjoyed the stories of the clan battles, Mary Stuart, Glencoee, the Campbells, etc. and of course the highland cows. That’s Honey. We got to feed them.

Check schedules before you go - For states if Viator know that main Castle is close Tuesday and Wednesday (when I book it) they should have let me know way ahead to change tours. This is the castle I was most interested to see. I am very disappointed. With that been said, ANDREW T. was the most amazing tour guide. He know well the history of Scotland and area. We listed great music, we did jokes, and he stop and the most stunning views I ever seen. I made my experience incredible and unforgettable. I would love to see him in another tour in the future because he treats you like family. Way to go Andrew T.

horrible company - I just came back from the departure point. EXTREMELY disappointed We were not in the tour list, we were told our reservation was CANCELLED I made the trip to Scotland 100% to make the Highlands Tour With my husband, my 2 boys (9 and 7 years old) and my mother 72 years old As a travel agent it is the first time this has happened to me I have recommended Timberbush to a lot of clients (3 days ago my clients Laphitzondo took the St Andrews Tour for example) We arrived to the departure point at 8.35 (25 minutes in advance) my confirmation said 15 minutes before to 9 am was the time to be there After I was told there was no reservation I was handed a phone and a very disagreeable man told me the reservation was cancelled and that there was no solution for me There were 4 people who did not show up until AFTER 9.15 and they went on waiting for them. At 9.16 they said that the 4 people called saying they were coming up the hill so not sure how much more they delayed the tour with all the group waiting I will find out what my rights are regarding this issue as I spent a lot of money in train from London plus flight tickets to Spain tomorrow for a TOUR that was a LIE Nobody had the decency to contact me and tell me there was a problem with my reservation. Of course I will write as many reviews as it is needed so that people know what kind of company timberbush is My instagram you can check it out has almost 100k followers feel free to see it @luluviajesunique Of course this is somethig that cannot be easily forgotten and not only I didn’t receive a single TRUE apology You have spoilt my trip to Scotland Instead of going on the tour I am back at the hotel trying to figure out how to make as meny people as I can KNOW what happens when you book with Timberbush
