Amazing tour with Jon - Jon was a great bus and tour guide. Kept it light and fun and very knowledgeable on history and sprinkled in some jokes and myths. Definitely recommend this tour and Jon to learn a lot of Scottish history and facts about the places you pass and are headed to.

Scotland Must Do! - The Timberbush experience was fantastic. These areas of Scotland were breathtaking. Gary was our tour guide and his knowledge and presentation of the Scottish history was excellent! Don’t go to Scotland and miss out on this experience.

Hmmmm - You are basically paying for a bus ride. Our driver was nice, but the information he shared was minimal. Maybe I didn’t read carefully enough, but it costs considerably more to take the boat ride and tour the castle. Brings your food. Stops are short, there are no arrangements for lunch. You have to walk to a grocery or eat food fast as we had 50 minutes to find a place and get back to the bus —and there is a bus load of people looking for food. The boat ride is enjoyable—drinks and cookies are on board. The castle is interesting. Watch the film and visit the exploration of the history in the rooms by the garden

Lack luster tour - Could not hear driver narrate stories. He seemed disinterested. Not enthusiastic or engaged. Minimal explanation. All round awful.
