“It was a wonderful adventure in the Highlands.

The night in Fort William was a nice stop and I could admire the beautiful sunset just by the Lake Loch Linnhe. The tour guide was very friendly and I now I know lots of new things about Scotland .I would highly recommend this tour. THX”

“Loved, loved this tour! I’ve realized that any guided experience can be made or meh depending on the quality of the tour guide. I’ve had some meh ones, and some excellent ones. On this tour, Kenny of Timberbrush Tours was excellent. Not only was he a wealth of knowledge about the history of Scotland, but he also knew a lot about the flora, fauna, and topography of the Highlands. He was wonderful with my 12 year old son, keeping us engaged and laughing the entire time. When you’re with a guide for two days straight, you’ll want to make sure you have an excellent one, and Kenny is that for…”

“Jamie, nuestro guía, fue un guía estupendo, simpático y amable, nos brindó un viaje inolvidable. Mi único inconveniente fue con el hotel en el que nos quedamos, ya que fuimos a cenar apenas llegamos y cuando volví al hotel y entré a la habitación la estufa estaba apagada y la ventana entreabierta, por lo que pasé muchísimo frío a la hora de ir a dormir, y no pude comunicarme ningún empleado del hotel para solicitar ayuda. Fuera de eso la excursión fue increíble, hermosa, emocionante e inolvidable. Gracias a nuestro guía Jamie por su amabilidad.”
