Great Tour with SJ as our guide!
We had never been to Scotland and so the first tour we took in Edinburgh was The Castle and Royal Mile. There is so much history to learn about and SJ provided so much information and we loved her spunky and fun self. Because the Royal Mile and the Castle are heavily visited it was wonderful to have someone navigate and explain the details and history. On tours like these the guide is important and SJ was the best!

Wonderful tour
Ben was fantastic. Great blend of history, humor, and recommendations. We covered a lot of ground, but at a relaxed pace.

The Edinburgh Dungeon Entrance Ticket462finlayf, Sep 2026
Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish
The staff at The Dungeon were amazing and so friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. They made the whole experience really easy and enjoyable for us and couldn’t have been more helpful.The experience itself was incredible. The mix of horror, humour and completely unpredictable jump scares was perfect. You genuinely never knew what was coming next, and half the time we were screaming before immediately laughing afterwards!The actors were absolutely amazing and completely committed to their characters. They made everything feel so immersive and brought the whole experience to life. The atmosphere was perfect as well, especially because we had a smaller group, which made everything feel much more personal and intense.The whole experience lasted around 90 minutes, but I don’t think 90 minutes has ever gone by so quickly. It genuinely felt like we had only just started when it was over.Absolutely brilliant experience with fantastic staff and actors.

Our chocolate workshop...
Our chocolate workshop was run by Lance who was excellent! The entire workshop was run really smoothly and efficiently with both real life knowledge, humour and of course, lots of samples. We really enjoyed getting to bring home our own chocolate as a souvenir

Solo Travel Made Easy
I took the 1-day Loch Ness, Highlands, Pitlochry tour with Frasier as a guide! I couldn’t have asked for more in the 12+ hour tour. I laughed, I cried, I learned, I genuinely felt so welcome at every stop. I would definitely recommend this as a solo female traveler. It was money very well spent and the local recommendations were spot on at every stop.

It was well paced and...
It was well paced and Karis was an excellent driver and guide. We learned so much about Scotland’s history. A great experience!

Beautiful trip
So so worth the money - Karis made our day so easy, interesting and comfortable. I'm not sure how this lady has room for so much knowledge, but we've come away with so many facts about Scotland and discovered many music artists that are Scottish and we didn't know! Also, she can drive AND tell stories of Scotland with ease, which I think is impressive alone. Thank you Karis and Timberbush, you made our first visit to Scotland a memorable one, and we'll certainly be back!

Amazing trip & tour guide
A wonderful tour, planned to perfection. There was plenty of time at every stop, and the whole journey didn't feel long or tiring, thanks to our amazing guide Phil. He was just fantastic, everything he said was interesting and entertaining. He was perfectly prepared and chose music that matched the scenery beautifully. Thank you Phil, for such a wonderful day. I would happily go on another tour if you were my guide.
