    St. Andrews does not disappoint!

    Even If you are not a golf fan this is a great tour! Ron, our guide gave a very interesting and educational narrative on the drive to St. Andrews. Beautiful little villages on the way there and back included a fishing village and the filming location for many scenes from Outlander. And of course, the golf course of St. Andrews is a Mecca for golf enthusiasts!

    Cale was so funny and knowledgeable. He knew so much about his country. He even gave extra tidbits about filming locations from various shows. He entertained us the whole ride. St. Andrews did not disappoint. It was overwhelmingly beautiful. The other stops were super cool too. I highly recommend this tour!

    Lovely tour

    Neva_S, Jul 2025
    It is a great tour. The tour is well set up and the stops were lovely. There is plenty of time in St. Andrews. The drive was picturesque and it didn’t feel like a long drive. Our tour guide Kyle was wonderful and entertaining that we never had a boring moment. He was very knowledgeable as well and gave us great advice.

    We had the best time with our tour guide, Jamie! He was so nice and so knowledgeable. He shared an abundance of information and gave us suggestions on what to see and where to go in each place. It was a tour and a history lesson combined. I wish I could give him 10 stars!
