Karen was absolutely the... - Karen was absolutely the best! Hilarious, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. Our entire two day tour was full of laughs. I appreciated the flexibility in the itinerary due to weather and we still managed to see everything with minimal rain interference. She had the best spots to stop for tea, coffee, and food. Would absolutely come and do this tour again with my kids and friends! Worth every penny.

Exceptional 2-day tour - We started by meeting our guide at the bus station and hopping aboard a nice spacious 16 passenger vehicle. We hit several major sights along the road to Isle of Skye. We made plenty of stops for public restrooms and for snacks and meals. The scenery was just fantastic and I feel we were able many of the sights. Those that had poor visibility on the first day we revisited on the second. As a fairly seasoned traveler I thought our guide - Liall was among the best guides I have seen. He was personable, knowledgeable and fun. He shared so much history as well as some amazing Scottish music that made the drive feel like riding through a movie. We even had a music selection made by each passenger on the ride back to Inverness! He even made sure we stopped for some highland cows. Highly recommend Timberbush tours and The Isle of Skye 2 day tour!

Skye by Liall - Thank you Liall for a fantastic tour to Skye! I loved every fact learned and every spot visited. A perfect Scotland adventure. Be prepared to sweat if you walk the Fairy Pools. Liall is an excellent driver, funny and knowledgeable. He also makes loads of rainbows appear out of no where. The buses have USB and C ports to charge devices, a huge plus. Timberbush tours is the way to explore.

We love Stewart! And the Isle of Skye! - What an incredible adventure. There was a nice mix of activities and fre time. Highlighting the best the highlands has to offer. Stewart was hands down the best tour guide I've ever had. He was funny, knowledgeable, and accomodating. He entertained every question and need, and even let us take a quick little side quest when we saw some cute cows we wanted to pull over and see. Even though we didnt have the most cooperative weather, we still had a blast as everything still had a beautiful aesthetic and uniqueness. But Stewart was truly the best and ensured our spirits stayed high the entire time. Such fun!

Nice - A little history from the driver commentary would have been nice. The accommodations were very minimal.
