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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Stuart the guide was informative and was able to keep us entertained with facts for the full day as well as drive! Amazing. He clearly loves his job and is very passionate about scotland. Best value for money for a trip there was so much on the tour you def got your moneys worth. Make sure you pay the £10 to visit the castle the history is amazing. Am already looking at another viator tour. Cannot wait. Thank you so much

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.

First-time Timberbush daytrippers
Janet M
, Jun 2019
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!
