The two-day Skye tour led by Lawrence was fantastic. He shared lots of stories along the way. He also took us to many hidden gems, which I really enjoyed. My favorite parts included the Buzz Lightyear attraction, feeding carrots to Highland cattles, and feeding the birds.
Excellent itinerary and tour guide. If you want to see both the northern and southern sites on the Isle of Skye, this is the perfect tour to book.
My wife and I,along with another couple, did the 2 day Isle of Skye departing from Inverness. Marital was the driver and guide. Very scenic drive and very informative. A very busy schedule but plenty of time for tours and opportunities to take pictures and explore on your own. Very nice.
Everything was absolutely incredible! Every single aspect was well planned and executed perfectly. The guide Alan knew the most perfect places to stop for photos. The sights he picked out leave you speechless. His driving is impeccable and he brings a lot of life to the tour. The quality for the fee we paid for 2 days inclusive of accomodation and breakfast on the second day was very reasonably priced. Great value for money!
I am so glad I chose Timberbush and the 2 day tour. The itinerary was great but the driver/guide was exceptional. His expertise from years of experience, knowledge of the culture and history as well as his care for his group is superior. He really leans into the group’s dynamics and customizes what he can on a set itinerary. The trip itself was good but Stewart made it amazing.
The guide/driver (Stewart) kept us informed and entertained with interesting stories and facts throughout the 2 day tour. Both days were filled with places and things to see, while not feeling rushed through each activity. What an enjoyable way to experience popular things to see and do.
It was an amazing experience. The beauty is indescribable. This tour was the highlight of our trip! Martin, our Timberbush guide was so nice, extremely knowledgeable, and shared so much history about each sight we visited. He shared a lot of Scottish history and played some Scottish music for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was easy to see his genuine passion about his wonderful country. We highly recommend having Timberbush book your overnight accommodations. Our experience exceeded our expectations!
Had a wonderful time with a wonderful guide. The stops were well timed and didn’t feel rushed even when we encountered road delays. Marita was a wonderful storyteller, very informative, and insightful. The stories felt a good mix of lesson and legend.
Martin was the best! We were regaled with wonderful stories, history and hidden gems of Isle of Skye. Delightful memories.
Lawrence was the best tour guide for our 2 day skye trip! He made the experience a 10/10. Showed us local places, made sure we found highland cows and gave us carrots to feed them, great jokes and company, and overall would recommend him as a tour guide!
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review! We are glad to hear you had a great time with Lawrence on your tour! We are so happy that you had such a good time seeing the highland cows, they are definitely a must see! We hope that we will see you again in the future! Kind regards, Amy
