Our tour of St. Andrews was absolutely amazing! Scott was a fantastic guide and it was the perfect mix of history, humor, fascinating sites, and just plain fun. Our group ranged in age from 13 to 80, and the tour was enjoyable for everyone — which is no small feat!
Scott brought the history to life while keeping things entertaining and engaging throughout. We saw so much, learned a ton, and had plenty of laughs along the way.
We were even able to fit in 18 holes at The Himalayans! It made for an unforgettable day in St. Andrews and one we’ll be talking about for a long time.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience St. Andrews in a fun, memorable, and genuinely enjoyable way!

Dear Carrie,
We are delighted you had such a wonderful tour with Scott and he kept everyone entertained throughout the day.
We are happy to people of all ages on tour and we love to get people away from the famous spots to the lesser know beautiful spots as well.
We hope you can come tour with us at Iconic Tours again one day.
Kind regards

Our guide, Scott went out of his way to customize our tour. He even drove us to the local post office and waited while we mailed our souvenirs home! Then he took us on a detour to track down my husband's ancestors in Strathmiglo. He helped us search the local graveyards, looking for the family name on all the headstones. He gave us anecdotes, history and lore along the way. St. Andrew's was lovely and the coastal area is breathtaking. Such a wonderful day!
