    St Andrew’s walking tour

    Perry_K, May 2024
    The city itself is very interesting. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I do recommend this tour

    Good Overview of St. Andrews and a Fun Walk!

    Diane_T, Sep 2023
    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!
