Well worth it! Private excursion with a friendly and knowledgeable driver. Picked up at the hotel on time and provided water and Scottish treats for all of us. Very accommodating to one of our guests since it was difficult to walk, he drove up to her location every time to make it easier

Golf at the Old Course

Anne_G, May 2025

Nice driver, but difficult to understand. Would have loved more commentary on the trip. So much history, but we got little explanation and often could not understand him. Taxi was not very comfortable. Fabulous to see St Andrews golf.

Bucket list destination

Gregory_G, Sep 2024

It was a special day. Lifelong golfer and first time in St. Andrews. The guide had to provide his private vehicle as the taxi was in repair shop. It was of course a disappointment as his vehicle was very small. My wife had to sit in back alone and I in front. That being said, the guide was outstanding and we made the best of it. He was very knowledgeable and I appreciated his knowledge.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a beautiful review. Much appreciated.

Best Day!

Michelle_H, Sep 2024

Mr Saf was exceptional! He toured us all around the city of Saint Andrews for the day. He took us to all the hotspots and got us into things that we could not have done on our own. We even got to go to Saint Andrews during the ladies British Open. Highly recommend!

Great tour day of Whisky, Golf and Castle sites!

Nicole_M, Aug 2023

We started our day being greeted by our professional and prepared tour guide. We had worked with Viator to set the bespoke day and what we wanted to see most, which was Lindores Abbey Distillery, St. Andrews Old Course with lunch at Old Course Hotel St. Andrews, and lastly castles of Fife. Our tour guide made sure we did everything as planned and had a wonderful, safe time doing the sites. We never felt rushed. We enjoyed the travel in the vehicle where we were able to face each other and see the scenery as we went. Our tour guide was informative and shared his love of the sites. This day was a very memorable day of our vacation!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Private tour of St. Andrews area.

charles_b, Oct 2022

Our tour guide, Shaun, was terrific. We had booked a private tour and he was extremely knowledgeable and very willing to customize the tour. The city of St. Andrews was beautiful and we loved seeing the golf course. He was just what we asked for, and a very good driver. He had to make several road changes and handled it perfectly. The car was very clean and comfortable. He really made it a great day.
