Edinburgh: Isle of Skye Jacobite Steam Train and Whisky Tour

The Timberbush four day Isle of Skye Jacobite train and whiskey experience was phenomenal. thanks to our driver and tour guide Jacqueline, who made it even more special. She filled in all the blanks of historical facts and always had a backup plan if Weather was interference for our stops in Scotland. Jacqueline was a true Scottish history encyclopedia. She kept our group active in between stops and was spot on with timing to ensure that we did not miss any of our adventures in Scotland and always had a back up plan one better than the next . She also had a library of restaurants to take the stress off where to eat at each stop. Accommodations each night were adequate, but we didn’t stay long enough to really care about rooms. Sincerest thanks to Jacqueline and Timberbush Tours for this incredible experience

What an absolutely breathtaking tour of the northern scotland and isle of skye. Our tour guide with TimberBush tours was Jacqueline ..she was wonderful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun and warm and also an absolutely amazing driver.

A Magical Scottish Experience with Timberbush Tours – and a Special Shoutout to Paul Santa! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our tour of Scotland with Timberbush Tours, covering the spectacular Isle of Skye, the Jacobite Steam Train and a wonderful whisky experience, was truly one for the memory books. Scotland itself is magical, but having the right guide can transform a good trip into an extraordinary one — and Paul Santa did exactly that! Paul was punctuality personified, organised to the T, incredibly expressive and wonderfully engaging. His knowledge of Scottish history, legends and magical folklore brought every loch, castle, monument, pool and hiking spot alive. From fascinating stories about Scotland’s past to insights into its flora and fauna, he had a way of making every place feel special. What really stood out was the thought he put into the little things. His recommendations for eating places, shopping spots and convenient toilet stops were spot-on and made the journey so much more comfortable. He also made a genuine effort to know each passenger by name and understand their individual preferences, which created a lovely sense of inclusiveness and camaraderie within the group. And then there was the music! 🎶 Paul’s choice of music to complement the landscapes and locations was brilliant. One particularly delightful surprise was hearing a Bollywood song from a film that had been shot at one of the castles we visited — such a fun and unexpected touch! His humour, banter and interactive storytelling ensured there was never a dull moment. He managed to keep everyone engaged while giving us plenty of space to simply soak in Scotland’s breathtaking scenery. And we have to mention Sprinkles — the adorable handmade unicorn created by Paul himself, who became our very special mascot! 🦄 Sprinkles may have been small, but the warmth and personality behind this little creation perfectly captured what made Paul so memorable: a big, generous and warm heart. The Timberbush bus was comfortable, well maintained and made the long journeys easy, while the accommodation provided was clean, comfortable and hygienic. We came away with not just photographs and memories of some of Scotland’s most beautiful places, but also with a real affection for the experience and the people who made it special. A huge thank you to Paul Santa for making our Scottish adventure so much more than a tour. Your enthusiasm, warmth, humour, knowledge and genuine care for your passengers made the entire experience fantastic and truly unforgettable. We would highly recommend Timberbush Tours to anyone wanting to explore Scotland — and if you are lucky enough to have Paul Santa as your guide, you’re in for something extra special! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you, Paul, Timberbush and, of course, Sprinkles, for the memories! 🦄✨
