My tour to the Kelpies, Fife adventures, and St. Andrews was amazing. The Fife adventures was more than I expected and visiting St. Andrews was the icing on the cake. Overall, Neil our tour guide was very informative, patient, and funny. I had a great tour.

Great tour. Guide was courteous, generous and always wished to make the tour as wonderful as it could be. Would love to have the same guide on future tours. We were lucky to get him on two!

This review is for Jack…you’re welcome.

Great excursion with Jack the legendary ginger man. St. Andrews the highlight. Jack filled the day with humor, history and a passion for his city and his country.

Freedom to see what you want

Disappointed in instructions from Viator

Carol_K, Jul 2025
I missed this tour due to poor instructions and timing. I left my hotel for bus station 45 minutes early. My uber driver got caught in traffic and arrived 15 minutes late which got me outside the bus station at exactly the correct time. By the time I figured out where the tour busses were, as opposed to the main part of the bus station, they had left. Very disappointed.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Carol_K, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, and I am sorry to hear that you did not manage to join your tour. We unfortunately are unable to wait past the departure time, as the tours have quite tight timings & must depart promptly, otherwise we would have to cut time at the stops or potentially return later than scheduled, which affects onward travel plans. We absolutely appreciate that you left the hotel early and were stuck in traffic, and are sorry that you were not able to join the tour because of this. We hope you still enjoyed your time in Scotland, and if you do have any further feedback, please do let us know. Kind regards, Clara

Great guise. Wish we...

Karen_R, Jul 2025
Great guise. Wish we could’ve spent more time at the castle of Falkland. And more time at Saint Andrews.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello Karen, Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your Kelpies, St Andrews and Fife tour. We hope you learned a lot of new and interesting facts about Scotland. Please don't be a stranger, we hope to welcome you back on tour with us someday soon! Best regards, Paulina.

Glasgow Day Tour

Ida_A, Jun 2025
Small group tour. Connor was our driver and guide. He was exceptionally attentive, professional and polite. Allowed plenty of time at every stop and explained everything in detail; he answered questions and shared customs/traditions/history. We enjoyed our tour to Glasgow and would enjoy having Connor as our guide in future tours!!!

Response from Host, Sep 2025
