We had a marvelous trip with the best Driver James who was very knowledgeable, friendly and went out of his way to accommodate everyone on out bus group. I would highly recommend this tour and especially our driver James.

If you want a full experience of Scotland in one day this is your trip! Lots of short stops along with exploration stops so you don’t miss a thing. Loved it!
Wonderful views. Guide not so much

The tour was a bit rushed in that the stops were not long enough. The views were amazing though. Unfortunately our guide was not very good. He may have been a substitute. A better guide would have made the tour more memorable.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi there, thank you for your review!
I'm happy to hear that you were able to appreciate the stunning views on the Oban, Glencoe and West Highland Castles tour, but I'm disappointed to hear that you didn't enjoy the driver-guide you had. If you could get in touch with us to let us know a bit more that would be great.
All the best,
David

Forest our driver was by far the best we’ve had so far. Super knowledgeable and a funny man! The views were breathtaking.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi there, Matt. Thank you for your review!
I'm happy to hear you had a great time on tour seeing Oban, Glencoe and the West Highland Castles. The views on that one are great, and always made better when you have a brilliant driver-guide. Hopefully we will see you on another tour soon!
Best wishes,
David
Enjoy sitting in the van all day.

The original tour I booked got cancelled but it was replaced with fewer locations to see. Like Lochness, glencoe and the highlands. It would have been great if the driver stops and let us enjoy the sites for a longer time but he seldom stop and if he stops, we have five or ten minutes😏. At the stop where we get food, we couldn’t eat well because we have twenty minutes only. We spent ten minutes before we get our food.😌. Overall, we sit in the van long hours and just sight see.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the tour.
I'm sorry to hear that your original tour got cancelled and you didn't enjoy your time on tour with us. Our Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands tour does have a lot of time on the coach, this is because it covers a lot of Scotland in one day. Loch Ness is about 200 miles from Glasgow, driving there and back takes a long time leaving little time for photo stops, however we still include photo stops in the tour because we believe Scotland is beautiful.
Excellent tour

We had a great day despite raining throughout . Our driver cum guide Andrew was very entertaining. The views were breathtaking. Went to a pub that was more than 300 years old. Superb trip !
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi there, thank you for your review!
I'm sorry to hear that you weren't so lucky with the Scottish weather - you can never know what to expect with it, we can get all 4 seasons in one day. I'm glad that you were still able to have a brilliant day with Andrew as your driver-guide and that you saw some beautiful scenery. Hopefully we will see you on another tour in the future - with better weather!
Best wishes,
David

Oban and Glencoe were clearly the highlights as well as our guide Robert with his marvelous Glaswegian accent!
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi there, Eliane. Thank you for your review!
Our tours are a great way to get a wee taste of the Highlands if you only have a day or two to spare, I'm glad you really enjoyed your tour with Robert, and I hope that you managed to understand the Glasgwegian accent! Hopefully we will see you on another tour soon.
Best wishes,
David

The trip from start to finish was excellent. Stunning scenery. All the castles were memorable. Neil, our guide was very informative and interesting and committed to providing a day out for us to remember. Would have liked to stop for more photo opportunities e.g. driving along Loch Lomond and St Conan's Church. Will definitely book another tour in May. Highly recommended.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hi there, Yvonne. Thank you for your review!
The Oban, Glencoe and West Highland Castles tour is full of beautiful scenery, I'm so glad you enjoyed it with Neil. We will take on your feedback about more photo opportunities along the way and we look forward to seeing you on your next tour in May!
Best wishes,

Had a fantastic trip. Our driver Stuart went above and beyond to make our trip exciting, from interesting facts to fun anecdotes whilst keeping us entertained with fitting music! Although the weather wasn’t great we saw some beautiful sights! We travelled with a young child who really enjoyed the trip!

Make sure you pay the £10 to visit the castle the history is amazing.

My family and I went on this day trip July 2, 2019 and really enjoyed it. It was a long day, but our guide Jamie was so knowledgeable and entertaining that it went by so quickly. We loved seeing Inveraray Caste, Oban as well as Glencoe and the Highlands which are truly magnificent. One of the best parts was when my son was able to feed one of the deer Jamie called over. Such an amazing experience to see so much of Scotland's beauty in one day.

Wonderful day! Easy to find the pick-up location. Our guide Robert, from the beginning, provided history and many points of interest as we left Glasgow followed by jokes and well planned musical ties to his stories to keep everyone interested and entertained.
Prior to booking, we would have preferred to know that significant time for lunch in Oban was planned and that there were many options to choose from while there.
That being said, great day. More music and stories for the return leg. Even the weather co-operated for the most part. We won't hesitate to book with Timberbush again. Thanks again Robert!
