Fiona was amazing! We got a local taste (literally) of St Andrews and an efficient overview of golf, history, religion, architecture, and St Andrews University history/traditions. As well as food recommendations which we happily followed

Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Saw quite a bit in a short period of time, which is what the tour was designed for. Would have loved to spend more time at several of the sites and also to have visited the famous bridge on the old course. 👍

The tour and the tour guide were perfect! Jamie did an excellent job providing us with the history of the golf course, the Protestant revolution, and the University in a very engaging fashion. He also went out of his way to wish all of us Americans a happy July 4th, both in a text prior to the tour that day and then when we met him in person!

It’s a great way to learn about all facets of St Andrew’s: golf course, the university and history. The city is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. It’s an easy trip from Edinburgh.
Tracy_M, Jun 2026
Although all of the places we visited were within easy walking distance, we wouldn't have visited them if we hadn't been on the tour, so it was definitely worthwhile, and the guide was very good.

We did this tour because my friends husband is a big golf person and so she wanted to get the history and pics of it. I’d say me not liking golf this was an excellent tour. He covered history of st Andrew’s also and it was so interesting. I highly recommend this tour!

Gail_H, May 2026
The tour is a bit over two hours so plan accordingly. Fiona was our guide and she was lovely, informative and very funny. We had spectacular weather and were lucky for that. You do a fair amount of walking and standing so people should know that. Great experience!

This is a nice comprehensive tour. We were only in town for the day and it was a great way to see highlights and learn about the history of St Andrews.
