Kelpies, Culross, St. Andrews and Falkland
Jack W was our driver/guide. He made the whole trip most enjoyable, with his wit and wisdom. Very good tour even with it being a wet day. I would definitely recommend doing this tour.
A breathtaking 3-day Isle of Skye tour
Wow! The 3-day Isle of Skye/Scottish Highlands tour with Neil was fantastic. He was accommodating, patient, and engaging. We worried about being stuck in a van for long hours during the tour, but Neil gave us frequent breaks and time for sightseeing. During the drives, he regaled us with stories of Scottish history and lore while expertly negotiating the sometimes-narrow roads. I'd say he was unflappable, but that paints too stern a picture. Thank you, Neil! I've seen many landscapes, but none as breathtaking as Scotland. Donvegan Castle was a highlight, and and we learned so much about scotch whisky. Come for the sights, sounds, and stories. There's so much to enjoy!
Fabulous tour to Dunrobin Castle and…
Fabulous tour to Dunrobin Castle and John O’Groats. This was my second time to the castle and each time I went I just was stunned by how beautiful the castle is especially as the light changes I took so many pictures each time I was there.
The drive up to the top of Scotland was beautiful. There’s no question about the exquisite scenery that we saw along the way and made several stops to have closer looks.
Our driver was excellent. These are not easy. Drives to take. It takes a lot of stamina to drive from Inverness up to the top. Our driver was knowledgeable and I believe that our small group of I think 17 all had a good time.
500 Miles of Scotlands’ beauty
It was perfectly organised and on time, guide was friendly, clear about the program and she could tell us wonderful stories about Scotland and the Highlands, and funny too.
What could be changed to make it a 5 star experience: drop us off at the centre of Fort William and give us at least 5 quarters of an hour to have a proper lunch. This stop in Fort William was not good and too short and there was no info told about this historical place. When we headed back to E’burgh, why did we stop for half an hour? We’d rather have returned in one drive, because now we were back in town at 20h30, while 20 h was told. Too long for us to sit in a tight coach/bus.
Tour to West H and Castles
Clear information, super tour guide, beautiful tour
Highlands tour Oct 24, 2025
Bus in perfect condition, careful and attentive driver!
This tour through Inverness was my absolute favorite!
This tour through Inverness was my absolute favorite part of my trip to Scotland! Getting to explore the castle, see the amazing beauty of the Highlands and Sky, and have an incredibly knowledgeable guide was a once in a lifetime experience! Liall, our guide was amazing! He gave so much history and fun lore of the highlands that I never knew about! If you get lucky enough to have him as your guide you'll be in great hands! It's definitely a FULL day! But worth the trek! Would 100% recommend this tour!

Fun day in the lowlands
Fun day in the lowlands.
Adam was our tour guide for the Oct. 22 day trip from Edinburgh to the Kelpies, Lock Lomond and the Stirling Castle. He was informative and entertaining, and along with our bus driver Holly, made everyone feel welcome and have fun. Definitely would recommend.

What an incredible day we had
What an incredible day we had! I couldn’t be more happier, and we couldn’t ask for a better guide! We learned a lot of curiosities, Scottish words and the meaning behind it, a lot of interest facts and history! The views are breathtaking, if you have the time, book a tour with them, and I hope you get paired with Adam, the guide! Everyone needs an Adam in their life!
Thank you Timberbush Tours and thank you Adam , me and my husband had an amazing day! ✨

Incredible Tour Guide and authentic experience
I absolutely loved every moment of this adventure. I booked the 3-day tour (Isle of Skye, Highlands, Loch Ness). My guide Scott was fantastic! He was genuinely kind and helpful during the tour, an expert at history and sharing stories with enthusiasm. I especially loved his mix of music for the trip- perfect soundtrack for along the way! This tour is great for everyone of all ages! It's great for first-time travelers and for folks like me who have seen the area in previous travels. Great mix of planned sights and free time to explore.

Scenery and helpful guide Robert and…
Scenery and helpful guide Robert and driver very good too.
Things not so good. The Cruise on Loch Ness had a very rude crew member. Now I understand that you do not run this cruise directly, but you do partner with them and sell the cruise as part of the experience.
This was reported to Robert who delt with the situation in a professional manor.
Final stop at Pitlchary just draws the day out
Isle of Skye Tour was awesome with Timberbrush Tours
We had a terrific time on an Isle of Skye Tour from Inverness. Our driver Willie was awesome - he was so knowledgeable and hilarious - he is an asset to your company. The coach was clean and comfortable and the tour was conducted at a good pace - it was a long one being 12 . My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend Timberbrush Tours - easy to deal with.
