We highly recommend it!”

“Jamie was our guide for 2 day tour on Loch Ness, Glenfinnan and Eilean donan route. His stories are worth listening to without getting bored. He has a special trick of being humourous and keep the atmosphere of the tour very light hearted. He went above and beyond at many places for us to have an amazing experience. Timberbush is really lucky to have Jamie as their one of their guides. I am definitely gonna recommend him to anyone who wants to visit Scotland”

“We had an unforgettable family tour through the Scottish Highlands, thanks to our fantastic guide, Mark (the Aussie). His impressive knowledge of the area brought every stop to life, and he kept us entertained with fascinating anecdotes, local legends, bits of history, and plenty of jokes along the way. Mark is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a genuinely great person who made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!”

Review of Timberbush’s two-day tour from Edinburgh to Loch Ness, Inverness, Culloden, Glencoe, Cairngorms, and Blair Athol.

“The company canceled the tour because not enough people signed up. They informed me of this only a few days before the tour date, leaving me scrambling to rearrange my plans and find a last minute hotel. They should have either notified me of the cancelation long before the tour date, or conducted the tour anyway, and eat the loss as part of doing business.”

Review of Wynding Road Tours’ private Scotland trip from Edinburgh, with custom Highlands routes, guide Brian, pricing, timing, and booking advice.

“We can't say enough great things about Brian! Our tour was similar to traveling with a knowledgeable family member! He took everything into consideration, down to our 2-yr-old's schedule (and attitude of the moment). I'm not sure how he did it but we definitely saw & learned a LOT of Scotland without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. We traveled with our 3 kids (1 special needs child, a 13-yr-old and a 2-yr-old) and he was super fantastic with them. Totally recommended this tour especially if you're traveling with kids. Brian surely made our trip to Scotland spectacular! (I wish we had him with us when we went to Dublin...)”
