Review of Timberbush Tours’ Greenock shore trip to Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and the Trossachs, with practical advice on time, cost, and stops.
“The tour guide was amazing and kept to a tight schedule. The lunch stop spot was nice. The castle was beautiful. But Lach Lamond was a joke. It was just a big tourist propaganda trap in my opinion. Total waste of time.”

“Rob was an excellent tour guide. Took us to all four Beatles childhood home and other important stops as we expected but also gave us a great history of Liverpool and showed us the fabulous architecture of the city. Would love to come back.”
Private Highlands tour from Invergordon with Culloden, Clava Cairns, Cawdor Castle, Loch Ness, Beauly, and optional whisky tasting.
“We didn't have the usual guide, so the review reflects his sub who was pretty good. Our main problem was lunch, as we were dropped at a shopping place that had lots of nontourist items, and where lunch options were limited and while we had said in advance that my husband needed to be gluten free, there was only a baked potato he could eat. Our guide accommodated our wishes for him to have real food options so we backtracked to search on Google for a gluten free place in the local town. It may be that because he was a sub he just wasn't prepared.”
Walk Liverpool's waterfront, Three Graces, Royal Albert Dock, Cavern Club and Beatles landmarks on a two-hour guided shore excursion.
“Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our tour- glad you found out tour to be 5 star. With our best wishes”
