My wife and I just happened upon this tour with our guide Keith which was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about all the places we went including the Glen Ord Distillery, Castle Urquhart, and the Loch Ness. Truly an incredible tour and almost enough reason to come back to Scotland just to take another tour.
2. 3-Day North Coast 500 Small-Group Tour from Inverness
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
Scotland's 'Route 66' is a rollercoaster road of ruined castles, pristine beaches, dramatic cliffs, and charming villages. On this 3-day small-group tour from Inverness, you explore all of it in the comfort of a luxury, 16 seat mini-coach. You clamber through scattered boulders and spot a beach so white it makes you reach for your sunglasses. You ramble along cliffs and find a village so small you try to pack it in your suitcase. And you travel along tumbling roads and see castles so ancient you rub your eyes in disbelief. This is the North Coast 500. And over every horizon, you find something surprising.
Inclusions: Driver/guide, Small-group tour (16 passenger max), Transport by air-conditioned mini-coach, 2 nights en-suite accommodation with breakfast
Exclusions: Meals and refreshments, Gratuities, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Admission fees

We had the pleasure of being the only two people on George's Outlander Tour through the highlands in February. Despite our worst fears of miserable winter weather, we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day out. George was accommodating and very knowledgeable of the local history and made our day one we will not soon forget! We loved seeing all the significant places in the inspiration and filming of Outlander and walking around with a true Scot in a kilt! What a wonderful day!! :)

I wanted to book a trip where myself and my husband were the only passengers but I wasn’t paying stupid money, and this trip fitted the bill. We had an excellent trip with George, who went out of his way to find us as many distilleries as he could. Unfortunately because of coronavirus many had shut their doors to visitors. Unsurprisingly none of the distilleries we did visit were doing tours of where they do production, but the ones we visited for tastings were well worth it. The highlight for us was Glenmorangie. We’d highly recommend a day with George, a true gent and Highlander.

A beautiful distillery in a park-like setting on the water. The tour guide was friendly and well-informed...took us through the distillery and cask storage facilities explaining the entire process. Tasting on one scotch included in the “Original” tour. Which was fine with us...a couple other options available

We were so lucky - we had George to ourselves! As he said himself prior to picking us up from our hotel he was easily recognisable, resplendent in his kilt. First stop was Clava Cairns, an almost mystical prehistoric burial site in a beautiful setting. Then on to Culloden where we spent time wandering the battlefield, made more emotive by seeing where various Chieftans had fallen. Then on to something completely different - the Caledonian Canal at Dochgarroch Lock before heading to the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre (and yes, we did see Nessie!) Our final stop was at the ruins of Beauly Priory. As promised it was fun and full of interesting stories. Many thanks again George!

Truly a one of a lifetime experience! Marita is a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide! I should also add she is a great driver, cause those Highland roads can get a bit narrow ???? The experience is very immersive, and just listening to Conquest of Paradise while driving through the Highlands is EPIC! Hope you get lucky with the weather as we did, cause all the main photo stops, the sky was clear and lighting was just perfect! ???? The views are stunning, the castles bring their own stories and mysteries and the Isle of Skye is truly another world in itself! I would like to thank the whole Timberbush Team for this ride! I can only wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!! ????????????????????????????❤️

Definitely had an excellent time on this tour and with our guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgable about Scottish history relating to the places we went to and passed through. In these strange times and amidst several restrictions, we still feel like we were able to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish Highlands during this three day trip. A must-do if you're visiting Scotland and want to get as much as you can from your time.
