Wonderful tour! - Stewart conducted a great tour full of information, wit and travel tips to maximize our time and offer great opportunities for photography.
Especially love he organized our tour - planning stops to miss the crowd of other tour buses. Very clear about timing of stops and time to be back to the bus - so we didn’t have to wait for stragglers. .

Delightful Humor and History with Stewart - Loved Stewart’s history, commentary and delightful humor on tour today. What a beautiful time exploring Isle of Skye while getting an insight into Scotland and her history. Loved he was conscious of trying to avoid the crowds by altering the order of our stops. Thank you for making this day trip a delight Stewart.

Inverness to Skye - Stewart with Timberbush Tours was our wonderful bus driver and tour guide. He told us so much information and wonderful stories that we were very glad we took his tour and didn’t do this on our own. Stewart set the order of our visit so the sites were not overly crowded, which was thoughtful. The Isle of Skye is very beautiful and worth a visit: Portree, Old Man of Storr and Kilt Rock plus the beautiful scenery between Inverness and Skye. Eilean Donan is in a very picturesque lication but we didn’t go in. Would recommend this tour and definitely recommend requesting Stewart as the guide!
