• "The tour guide was really talkative and took every chance to tell trivia about literally anything."
• "Again, rude reminders being dished out by the guide/driver."

• "We we're really disappointed of the entire tour because we had to rush so much."
• "The only downside of the whole experience was the stop at the canals in Fort William."

Scenery and Locations

Pros:

• "The Highlands are absolutely amazing and probably there is no place on earth like this."
• "The Highlands are absolutely breathtaking."
• "We saw a lot of magnificent landscapes, had stopped at couple of unforgettable places."
• "The drive up to Loch Ness was quite long, hence, stiff backs and disturbed sleep, but that aside the views were amazing and Stevie is quite the entertainer."
• "He drove us through amazing sight seeings and the stops he drove us to were absolutely beautiful and a great snapshot of how gorgeous Scotland is!"
• "The mountain and lake views were absolutely stunning which felt like being in a postcard."
• "We saw so many amazing sights and learned a lot about Scottish history."

Cons:

• "Probably would not recommend for young children since it's a long bus ride."
• "After that we did stop at the Scottish canals, I believe it was around Fort William but I can't quite remember because it was so boring and to be honest rather pointless."
• "We we're really disappointed of the entire tour because we had to rush so much even though we could have saved a ton of time by just skipping some of the pointless locations."
• "Another major down side was Glencoe."
• "This was the first time we saw anyone insist on cash in Scotland."
• "We did see nothing of Fort William!!!"
• "Sometimes, and it's not any tour companies fault, I wish that the seats were not so small on the coaches."

Accommodation and Transportation

Pros:

• "The tour bus was a new 16 seater coach which was comfortable."
• "The coach was modern, comfortable and had usb charging port."
• "The hotel we stayed in was fantastic and impeccably clean."
• "We were given fantastic accommodation in the lovely village of Portree, ample time at all stops."
• "We had very comfortable stay at the hotel the Timberbush booked for us."
• "The bed & breakfast they booked for us was also lovely."
• "The bus was clean and comfortable; the scenery was unbelievably beautiful; the stops were amazing and our time was well organized because of Jada's tips."

Cons:

• "PS: Charging points at the vehicle needs some update."
• "Unfortunately no toilet on the bus but there were enough stops to grab food or visit a restroom."
• "The tour was cut short due to this and the stop made into a Toilet only stop."
• "All restaurants were reservations only so our only option for two nights was a grocery store or one takeout Chinese restaurant."
• "My only criticism would be that it is a long distance to travel in a coach to have only 70 mins in Mallaig to get lunch."
• "The lunch stop had next to no vegetarian options."
• "I was only bit disappointed with timberbush for informing me late regarding trip cancelation of my earlier dates so had to go through quite hectic for rearrangement."
