I did the 3 day Isle of Skye tour in November. Our guide was Colin and he was knowledgable and passionate with numerous historical stories to tell in an interesting way. I finally found listening to historical stories interesting!!! We had a number of stops and Colin tailored our tour to suit the members on the tour...eg we didn't do... more

The tour guide was very friendly and informative , telling very interesting stories along the way. Our stay on Skye itself was in very comfortable accommodation. An absolute must for any... more

All the tours left out of Edinburgh and were booked from the Timberbush store just outside of Edinburgh Castle. The staff was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. The driver/guides were awesome, too! The first tour we went on was to Loch Lomond, The Trossachs & Stirling Castle. Our driver/guide was named David. He had a bit of a... more

I went on the Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands one-day tour from Glasgow in late September to accompany my relatives from the States. As a local, I wouldn't normally have done this type of tour but I ended up really enjoying it and would like to thank all the staff for making the tour - particularly the guide, Billy.... more

Me and my friends made timberbush's "Oban" 1 day tour. The first half of the day was spent driving except for a single quick stop in a rather sad place where you can take a picture of a highland cow locked in a fence. Then, since lunch time in Oban and then a pair of castles in the afternoon, we... more

We are disappointed that you found the Oban tour boring - the tour is an extremely popular one and the content is actually based on customer feedback - customers enjoy the scenery, visits to Oban and Inveraray and lots of opportunities for photo stops. Recent positive feedback on our web forum is a testament to this. Our guides are friendly...

Waited for the van to come and pick us over from St.George's Square, Glasgow but the van never turned up. We are still wothout an answer of what happened that day but all we know is that we kept waiting and the van never turned up. This ruined a day of our holiday. These people did not appreciate that tourists... more

Be aware, do not waste your money on going for a tour with Timberbush Tours. Last July we were a group of six for a holiday in Scotland. On the 10th July ,we were booked for a tour of the Highlands with this company. We had already paid online the sum of approximately 240 Pounds Sterling. When the day arrived... more

We understand the disappointment and frustration of the customer at missing the tour. As is made clear in our website and brochure this tour departs at 0820 and all passenger are advised to arrive at the departure point 15 minutes before this time. Our coach record shows that the driver guide waited until 0826 before departing with the customers arriving...

If I had to sumarize in a few words my tour via Timberbush I would rather say: excellent, funny and friendly. Excellent discovery of part of Scotland, its history and its language particularities. Funny guide Friendly: good relationship with all other tourists. I could even practice my Spanish! I'll definitely make another tour via Timberbush next year. more
