History and scenery great but didn’t like the tour guide tried to be funny too many times. Not accurate on some of his info like his story about windows on old course.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
I'm afraid you picked it all up wrong. There were no jokes on the tour? and the tours are 100% accurate including everything about the windows down the Old Course. Truth is stranger than fiction.
It was wonderful The tour guide,Sarah was very knowledgeable and very willing to answer questions The views were beautiful
Sara was an EXCELLENT tour guide. She was engaging, fun, and had great knowledge to share. I definitely feel she has a gift for this type of work. I highly recommend her as a tour guide.
Our tour of Saint Andrews was excellent! Our tour guide, Sara, who is a student at Saint Andrews University was extremely knowledgeable and did a terrific job with the tour. Highly recommended!
Great way to get to know St. Andrews. Ken is a long time local with great insight. Our group was small so he tailored the tour to our interests.
Great way to see St Andrew’s beyond the golf course. Was good to see the cathedral ruins and parts of the university.
very knowledgeable and friendly guide: a recent graduate of St Andrews uni. not just a scripted tour
The city itself is very interesting. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I do recommend this tour
Good tour with good historical information. Unfortunately my friend wasn't in very good shape and we had to end our participation after about 1.5 hours so she could rest. This was really NOT a strenuous trip, however. We covered a lot of ground, saw a lot and there were two additional participants who were pleasant. Good and fun guide by the name of Richard.
Had a fantastic tour with Richard. He shared many historical facts and local insights. We were able to see beautiful sights we would not have found on our own. Well worth the time! Thanks Richard!
