Ken was a wealth of knowledge! It’s always helpful to have a guide to fully appreciate what you’re observing when visiting a place for the first time. Ken delivered! Moreover, we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of St Andrews.

Our tour guide Ken was delightful, informative and fun to be with! Our tour started with us meeting at Martry’s Monumnet and finished near Market Street. Again, Ken has a love of the St. Andrew’s history and a love for the country.

Fiona was such a terrific guide, so friendly and full of interesting stories of what we were seeing. She spent time and gave us great recommendations for our time in St. Andrews.

Excellent tour! Very informative and hits all the highlights. Our guide was great and was very knowledgeable. You get to see the main quads and areas of the campus as well.

John did a fantastic job on the private tour. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He combines the history of St. Andrews golf, academics and religion throughout. We would definitely again. It’s worth paying the extra for a smaller group.

Our tour of St Andrews was absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, the experience exceeded all expectations. We were lucky enough to have John- easily recognizable in his bright orange jacket as our guide, and what an incredible stroke of luck that was!
John's infectious enthusiasm, depth of knowledge, and engaging storytelling made this tour truly unforgettable. We arrived knowing a bit about the town's legendary golf history, but we left with a newfound appreciation for its rich tapestry of history, religion, and education. John seamlessly blended fascinating facts with humor, keeping us thoroughly entertained while ensuring we walked away enlightened.
If you're considering a tour of St Andrews, do yourself a favor and book this one! If you are lucky enough to get John as your guide, congratulations, you've hit the jackpot!!!

Great way to start your visit to St Andrews. 1 1/2 hours to get acquainted with where shops, restaurants and pubs are located so you can easily find the places you want revisit

Guide had an emergency and did not show up. No replacement showed up either. Not sure if this is commonplace for this guide service but please be aware.

The young female guide was an expert historian with a vast amount of detail in her narrative. She was organized and moved us through the tour at a reasonable pace. The weather turned quite cold and rainy and she tried to find shelter for us along the way. Excellent!!
