Shafiq was the best tour guide. He was really knowledgeable and did not lose a beat. Will go again if he’s the guide. Will look into more tours.

Mr Muhammad was so good. Very friendly and punctual. Every person in the bus were very happy with him. His friendly behaviour makes the tour more excited. He told us the history of highland and many more things which likes a fairy tales.

Glad to give a review for our trip out to the highlands - we started off early from Edinburgh, welcomed by our tourguide Connor (with a very much approved and appreciated sense of humor) and by our driver Mohammed (also very likeable & polite with good driving skills - greetings from germany on this topic). The trip went smoothly with many stops for pictures, exploring the areas (althought quite misty) and a sunset to die for. Bonus: The playlist was spot on.

What an amazing day exploring the Scottish Highlands! Brian was absolutely brilliant — so friendly, funny, and full of fascinating history and stories that made every stop extra special. We learned so much while laughing and enjoying the breathtaking views. It honestly felt like touring with a friend who truly loves and knows the Highlands. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more perfect day — thank you, Brian! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland! 🇬🇧✨

We joined the Glenfinnan tour today and absolutely loved it! Our driver and guide Brian was fantastic – his sense of humor, storytelling, and deep knowledge about Scottish history made the whole trip unforgettable. He really brought the Highlands to life and turned an already beautiful journey into a truly perfect experience. Highly recommended!

Vix and Adam are the best! The Viaduct was amazing! Fort William didn’t really have anything worth seeing, so could have been swapped with another location or having more time at Pitlochry. All in all a very full experience!

Highly recommend. Excellent tour with our fantastic guide Mark. Starting from Edinburgh, we visited well known landmarks on our journey through the Highlands, with incredibly entertaining and informative commentary from Mark throughout. Lovely new coach, playing some well known Scottish tunes on our journey 😄

We have just got back from our day trip with Timberbush. It was a great experience. Alistair is a friendly person, very good driver, calm and experienced and I felt very safe throughout the day. Loved all the stories Alistair told us whilst driving around and also the music. Timberbush mention that it might be a good idea to take a cold packed lunch and I should have listened! We did get food in the various stops we had, but there isn't always a great selection of food and also not always enough time, if one also wants to walk around a bit. But that is not the fault of Timberbush. All in all we are very glad we went on this tour and we had a great time. Thank you!
