An Unforgettable Isle of Skye Adventure with Timberbush Tours and Will - We had a fantastic time on Timberbush’s 2-day Isle of Skye tour with our guide, Will in May 2025. The experience was amazing—and Will was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and took excellent care of us throughout the entire trip. I highly recommend Timberbush Tours (and be sure to look for Will), and when we’re back on that side of the ocean, we’ll definitely book with them again.

Isle of Skye 2-day tour incredible! - This 2-day tour was incredible, I highly recommend it. Stewart was an excellent tour guide, full of interesting facts about the surrounds and intent on making the most of our time on the Isle. We enjoyed picturesque hikes in fairy glen and the fairy pools, plus so many more incredible view spots. The B&B accommodation overnight was clean, warm and comfortable, and having that extra day on the Isle meant we saw so much more without feeling rushed.

Ask for Jack S- he was a great tour guide. - We packed a lot into two full days! Jack S was such a great guide. Fun stories, answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable about the area. We really appreciated him. The only negative was our lodging. We were in a room above a bar that had live music and a loud clean up crew that kept me awake until after 2:00 am. Otherwise it was a perfect tour.

Isle of Skye Tour! - Jack S from Inverness was awesome! I haven’t laughed so hard on a tour. He had some great stories. Loved hearing about the selkies, kelpies, and all mythological creatures in Scotland while getting to tour Skye. This is not to be missed. Only thing I didn’t like was our hotel in Portree. It was noisy all through the night and we didn’t get much sleep. But this was still a great trip and we had a fantastic time! Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Stunning!! - This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide Alan was very informative and played great music. This is the best way to see the Isle of Skye, you hit some many spots and so many view points for pictures. I highly recommend this tour. The tour fits 16 people and we only had 8 so no matter what its a pretty small group of people. You get to explore at your own pace at a lot of places so you can spend time at whatever interests you the most. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Isle of Skye from Inverness. Portree is also such a lovely city. Well worth the price!

It would not have been special without the amazing guidance of Fraser. He was kind, knowledgeable, and witty making for a great experience! 100% suggest both the tour and Fraser
