Robert our guide needs to study his history. I understand saying "um aye" is part of the pattern of speech in Scotland. But so many times he jumped around so many times 1700s no 1800s. Liked him much but with study comes confidence and fewer stumbles and starts. This baby is 12 hours and you get a real taste of the Highlands.

Loved all the information the tour guide, Karris, gave us. The day started off without a cloud in the sky and that made for beautiful views.

I was solo travelling in Scotland and had a wonderful day trip with Timberbush tours. All practicalities were convenient and the guide Morag was super friendly and really made an effort to engage the group through jokes and fun trivia about the sites we passed. I booked this particular tour because I wanted to see Harry Potter filming locations and sure was it a dream come true. Popular culture was mixed with history from the scottish highlands. The only thing I missed was longer breaks at the places we stayed, at Fort William and the picturesque village Pitlochry. But this is not possible within the 12 hours planned trip. I recommend this tour!

Aaaaamazing views and landscapes. Mind blowing. Has such a great time it almost didn’t feel like we were on a bus for 13 hours. The stops and pauses were great so you could stretch your legs and take photos. We almost took the Jacobnite steam train experience but we’re so glad we chose this instead! You get to see much more with the bus ride. Tour guide Mark was excellent, such a funny, well-informed guy who made our journey ten times better, lots of giggles. Mark deserves the world, keep it up!
