Great trip to St. Andrews and N. Area

David_S, Jul 2023
Ed (Edmund) was a great guide. His knowledge and personal interest made this an excellent event. Ed kept us on schedule while covering more areas than we had originally planned to see. If we can, wpould like to go back and travel with ed, again, for a very worthwhile day.

Wonderful day tour - beautiful scenery and great guide

Stacy_B, Jul 2023
We had a wonderful experience on this tour. In advance of the tour date Ed communicated with us regarding our preferences and itinerary priorities. Ed was prompt, enjoyable and had a vast knowledge of Scotland’s landscape and history. We throughly enjoyed every aspect of our tour and our time with Ed. I highly recommend booking a tour with him.
