Great Overview of the Highlands and Isle of Skye - The Isle of Skye journey was wonderful. I loved the size of the group which was small and Kenny was a wonderful guide through Scotland. He was well informed, helpful, and just a great all around guide. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants a great tour of the area. The scenery was magnificent. Kenny provided us with perspectives and informative histories of the areas we visited and stopped to show us vistas that I would otherwise not have seen. It was just magical.

Lovely Scottish weather - We opted for the 3 day Isle of Skye trip based on Viator feedback for Timeberbush and we're not disappointed. Our 3 days trip with our guide Philip was an amazing experience. The trip covers most of the places on the Isle of Skye. Philip was very helpful and informative making the trip all the more better. His collection of songs are pretty amazing during the long drive across the Isle. Timberbush provides a minivan with small groups of 10-12 people. The accommodation in Portree is spread across multiple available B&Bs in the town. The food options are limited and unless you are carrying your own lunch, the Timberbush suggested hotels and inns are pretty good. The weather in Scotland is very unpredictable and it is good to always carry sufficient warm weather and waterproof windcheater. Portree weather is also pretty cold and windy.

Recommended - Super recommended tour! The very knowledgeable and competent Stuart Guide entertained us throughout the trip, and the places shown were very nice. Great way to visit the Skye Islands (of which we have seen all the main attractions) and the main sites of the Highlands. I had selected the option including b&b in Portree, and I must say that the b&b was beautiful and exceeded expectations!

Great trip, happy to be riding on a mini bus - We tried to plan our own visit, but found this trip on TripAdvisor and it hit the spots that we wanted to see. I am so glad that I was riding on a bus instead of driving. Cliff was our tour guide and he was great. We saw the sights that we wanted to see and learned more Tidbits about the area than we would have learned without Cliff

Beautiful and extremely well conducted - The natural beauty, of course. This part of Scotland cannot be overhyped. Gorgeous and majestic and ethereal around every corner. But the tour added so much. Jada was knowledgeable, punctual, funny, outgoing, and she was great at helping our group meld together fast. The pacing was just right, including stops in towns along the way there and back. My B and B was perfect: just be aware that you won’t leave Skye hungry. I would recommend the tour, and Jada as guide and driver, to my closest friends and family.

Magical time in the Highlands - Jada was AMAZING. So for the tour itself: so fun, informational, with a beautiful way to see one of the most amazing places in the world: Skye and the highlands. This was my second time in Scotland but I felt like I did so much more than when I rented a car myself. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore, especially if you're concerned about driving yourselves. You get to see small towns, get all around Skye, and the tour includes lodging in Portree. In regards to Jada herself, She runs a tight ship - in the best way possible. We were always on time, and she took the time to give us back story to the beautiful places we drove to, and we had options about stops . She would ask for feedback or questions if anyone has preferences (eg, dinosaur tracks). Jada drove safely and so well, I always felt safe with her. If I do another tour I sincerely hope she's my guide.
