Very Disappointing

Howard_T, May 2025

Advertised as a trip to see St. Andrews. We did not spend more than five minutes at the Old Course which was the purpose of our booking this tour. Very disappointed to have spent such a large sum of money and only get such a short time in St. Andrews.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

I am so sorry you did not enjoy the tour. Especially as you received exactly what you asked for. You were very specific. TOUR DESCRIPTION AS PER CLIENT REQUEST "Pick up at 09:30 Scotsman Hotel, Market Street Entrance. Then travel to St Andrews to visit the Old Course, Swilcan Bridge and Old Course Shop. Then drive through the town passing by the University. Stop at the Cathedral. Lunch at 12:30 (please book your table). Following lunch drive the coastal route back to Edinburgh visiting Kingsbarns Distillery shop (No tour), Crail Harbour and Forth Bridges view point.” We delivered the tour to your specifications. Unfortunately you were over 20 minutes late for pick up which did impact on the time you had in St Andrews. You chose to put a lot into the itinerary, which made it time sensitive. The Driver and Guide were very surprised to hear about your disappointment, especially as you had thanked them both when you were dropped off saying how much you enjoyed the day? I truly hope the rest of your time in Scotland was what you expected and you had a safe journey home.
