“Me and my partner absolutely adored this tour over to the Isle of Skye with Marita and the rest of our group. She had so many things to tell us about the spectacular places we passed or stopped at and local customs, politics, etc. We loved that she made the extra effort to see whether we could take the historic ferry over to Skye (we could!). We will for sure return to Scotland and would love to join other tours with Timberbush! Fingers crosses that by then, they will also cover the outer Hebrides and/or the Orkneys, otherwise we will for sure find other amazing experiences!”

“Fiona was an outstanding tour guide! The bus was clean, comfortable, and Fiona provided beautiful music. Our group arrived at our starting location early, so we departed early. We were able to visit so many sites! We never felt rushed to complete a hike or a visit. Fiona was familiar with busy times at specific locations and daily weather changes, and managed to get us to and from our locations before sites were busy or rain was impending. She provided historic, cultural and necessary information before every site. The Isle of Skye is so beautiful, and we're happy we were able to be with a small group. Our accommodations were…”
