A 2-day coach tour from Edinburgh to Loch Ness and the Highlands, with Loch Ness views, Inverness, Culloden, Cairngorms, and more.
“We had a nice experience with Timberbush tours, our guide Lorna was very friendly and shared wonderful stories. Due to rain and early sunset a lot of the experiences were impacted, but we appreciated Lorna’s efforts to take us to alternate spots. The stop at Culloden Battlefield was unnecessarily long and there was nothing much to do there. Some of the information on Viator is outdated for example the drop off location.”

He knew a ton of interesting facts and kept us entertained the whole drive. He was also super accommodating and understanding.

“Wonderful trip. Catherine is amazing, she spent hours planning the perfect trip for us, from where to visit, to eat, to stay, what to do. She had to change the itinerary several times to fit our schedule and satisfied our desires. Help us picking the restaurants, hotel and made all the bookings for us. Roger (the tour guide/driver) is very caring, attentive and funny. He made our trip memorable. He does not mind made changes on the way to fulfill our wishes. Very on time. He became a friend of the family. Highly recommend this company.”

Two days from Edinburgh to Skye and the Highlands, with Loch Lomond, Glencoe, fairy pools, Storr views, and Eilean Donan.
“Fantastic walk. Two long days but full of beautiful things. John was our guide, extremely friendly and helpful. Very intelligent and knowledgeable. Passionate about history, he told us many stories about the places we passed and visited. We strongly recommend. Five stars.Auto-translated”
A 2-day self-drive loop from Portree to Skye’s icons and offbeat stops, guided by GPS narration on your own schedule.
“A good way to see a lot of Skye's sights at your own pace. Audio was a bit clunky and not timed very well at points. It made it hard to know exactly where things were at times. It would tell you about something and the directions way before you got there etc. Still a good itinerary and would recommend doing, just make sure you have google maps of Skye downloaded too, and I would make a route of all the destinations on maps separately from the audio tour, it made an easier time of it the 2nd day for us. Also of note, there are some things only open…”
Every kind of day out, from an hour under the Old Town to a week in the islands.
