Epic Isle of Skye & Highlands 3-Day Adventure from Edinburgh

An unforgettable and magical experience I had on this 3 day Tour from Timberbush. Our guide - Jim, was wonderful, witty and extremely helpful and friendly. I must say the guide makes or breaks a tour. Full marks to Jim. The itinerary is well designed with stay in Portree instead of other places as some other providers do. Highly recommend this tour!!

We had a great experience with Paul! The itinerary, stops, and ease of the trip were beyond our expectations. Paul truly went above for our group and was so insightful and thoughtful!

I had an amazing time on the 3-day Highland tour with Mary from Timberbush Tours! She was such a fantastic guide-funny, caring and full of great stories and insights about Scotland. Thank you, Mary for making this trip so memorable!

We recently booked a three-day tour through the website timberbushtours.com to explore the Highlands of Scotland. Together with other travelers and our amazing guide Neil, we left behind beautiful Edinburgh to venture into wilder, untouched landscapes and reach our first destination — the Isle of Skye. Neil lived up to all expectations: always attentive and available to the group, he made the journey truly enjoyable by sharing stories about Scotland’s history, fascinating insights into local culture, and many anecdotes about everyday Scottish life. Along the way, we made several stops to visit some of the most typical and iconic places in the Highlands. During the three days, we explored historic sites such as the dramatic valley of Glencoe, the Museum of Ancient Scottish Villages, the stunning castles of Eilean Donan and Dunvegan, the historic Talisker Distillery, and the famous Loch Ness. We also visited the charming town of Portree, the impressive rock formations of the Old Man of Storr, and the breathtaking Kilt Rock waterfall. The Scottish Highlands deserve several days to be fully appreciated — for their magnificent nature, the friendly Hairy Coos, and the countless sheep grazing across vast green meadows. You encounter many lakes, hills, mountains, and endless stretches of fields and forests painted in autumn colors. Our eyes often sparkled with emotion at the sheer beauty we were lucky enough to witness. We would like to thank Neil for showing us this part of Scotland with such passion and professionalism. We highly recommend booking through timberbushtours.com to plan your trip and enjoy the expertise and friendliness of guides like Neil. Thank you so much — we hope to be back soon! Cindy and Lorenzo

Wow! The 3-day Isle of Skye/Scottish Highlands tour was fantastic, even better than expected. Our driver Neil was accommodating, patient, and engaging. We worried about being stuck in a van for long hours during the tour, but Neil gave us frequent breaks and time for sightseeing. During the drives, he regaled us with stories of Scottish history and lore while expertly negotiating the sometimes narrow roads. I'd say Neil was unflappable, but that paints too stern a picture. I've seen many landscapes, but none as breathtaking as the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye. Donvegan Castle was a highlight, and and we learned so much about scotch whisky. Come for the sights, the sounds, and the stories. There's so much to enjoy!

We had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide, Jada, was a lot of fun and showed us some beautiful stops that weren't necessarily on the original itinerary. Advice to potential travelers: you will spend a LOT of time on the bus/van on day 1, but it's worth it, and you'll do much more seeing and much less traveling on day 2.

One of the best trips I’ve ever been on with the best tour guide (Andrew T). It was amazing to have someone who was actually from the area showing us around. Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole experience. I wasn’t well during the trip and Andrew offered to stop the bus so that I could get some fresh air. I felt very looked after and supported by Andrew and the rest of the people that were on the trip. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience that I will never forget. The isle of Skye has become my favourite place.

Had an amazing time exploring Scotland for the first time, and this tour was a great choice! The scenery was amazing (we were lucky to have perfect weather too) and I learned so much about Scotland’s history along the way. Mary was a fantastic guide, super engaging and friendly. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough!

This tour has been the highlight of our 3 week trip through England and Scotland. While weather can wreak havoc on your plans whe. You have a guide as knowledgeable and a ring as Alan the day never ceased to be amazing. His humor music and wild tales made the journey so much more interesting. He cared for each of us and went the extra mile in giving tips and extra stops if time allowed. If possible book with Alan he is a wealth of knowledge. And so much fun!!

We followed Neil for a three days trip. He is full of passion. He is very pleasant , polite and very nice as well. He drives so good and so safe . Our trip was well organised and at the last stop, we could feed the cattles that high lighted a very happy ending. We highly recommend this tour.
