Loch Ness and Glenfinnan Viaduct Tour

5.00This tour was amazing! Brendon took us to so many places from Loch Ness to Glenfinnan Viaduct, Mallaig, Fort Augustus and some beautiful beaches. We even made some unplanned stops which added to the experience. I’m so happy we got to see the famous Harry Potter train. On the road we saw so many sheep, highland cows, and alpacas and enjoyed the beautiful view of highlands. I would definitely recommend this experience.
Great tour

5.00Karen was our guide. She was incredible. Shared information about every stop and information about the area. Very intelligent about the tour and a great storyteller. Made a 12 hour tour very enjoyable. And a pleasure to talk with. Very personable. Will definitely do another tour with timber bush tours because of Karen. Excellent!!!

5.00Loch Ness is a spectacular area! The green of the trees, the blue of the lake, the cows and the sheep, all a feast for the eyes.
Stunning Scenery, but a Shorter Tour Would Improve the Experience
Bblijia,May 6, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00This tour showcases the awe-inspiring scenery that truly defines Scotland. The stops themselves aren’t the main highlights. Despite a bumpy start (a flat tire for example), Doreen carried on admirably, providing commentary that was amusing, informative and full of insight. We had a wonderful day. However—and this applies to all the 11-hour tours we’ve taken—we feel it would be much improved with fewer stops, bringing the overall duration down to a more manageable 8–9 hours.
