Connor, tour guide, was bubbly, engaging and fun on our sunshiney small group tour covering the histories of golf, university student life and St Andrews. Highly recommend!

Great tour guide. I always learn so much on Viator tours and find them a quick, easy way to get familiar with any city.

Great tour with Ken in the last week of October 2025. He was clear, articulate, intelligent, well informed and gave a wonderful walk around St. Andrews, showing us the sites, answering our questions, and delivering the history.

Our guide Connor was punctual, engaging, friendly, and shared lots of interesting facts about St. Andrew’s.
Spencer_C, Oct 2025
This was a great overview of Saint Andrew’s including the Old Course, University and towns history. We felt like the length of the tour was good. Note if there is a tournament going on you won’t be able to walk onto the old course but view if via a platform.
Mike_Q, Sep 2025
Informative walk around St Andrew's history of both the golf course and University as well as other attractions. Fiona our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and good fun!
Michelle_M, Sep 2025
The tour guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable. There were many facts about saint andrew's history that I had no clue about. The only thing I did not like was the tour ended in town.Not back where we started.So it was a little confusing on navigating the area, not that that is the fault of the tour guide. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.Just knowYou will be left in town at the end by St. Mary's college.

Interesting tour of St Andrews. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. We took a day trip from Edinburgh and combined this with an afternoon tour of the golf course. It was a nice way to spend the day and learn about a town outside of Edinburgh.

it was wonderful learning the history of St Andrews and seeing its beauty. Was not a hard walk. Loved seeing the university
Joseph_M, Sep 2025
Our St Andrews walking tour was an absolute delight, weaving through the historic streets of this charming Scottish town with stories that spanned centuries. From the ancient ruins of the cathedral to the bustling university grounds and the iconic Old Course, every step felt like a journey through time. Our guide, Ken, was the star of the show—his passionate storytelling and encyclopedic knowledge brought the city to life, effortlessly bridging medieval tales of saints and scholars with modern-day anecdotes. Highly recommended for history buffs and casual explorers alike; it’s a perfect way to uncover St Andrews’ hidden gems!
Roger_H, Sep 2025
This was a good way to learn about St. Andrew’s and see some of the highlights and some things we would have never experienced.
Connor (a university student) was a great guide filled with information & positivity who really made the tour enjoyable!
It was an easy casual walk covering a fairly good area.
This was a last minute booking and so glad we made it!

Fiona Shrek our tour guide was friendly, humorous , and very informative. The length of the tour was just right and we had a great time. We learnt a lot about St Andrews in a short period of time which would not otherwise have been possible. Would recommend it to any visitor or visiting parent whose children are studying at St Andrews.

Fiona gave us a very informative and interesting tour of St Andrews. Enjoyed learning about the history of the city including some golf history. A very worthwhile tour. Highly recommend it.
KIM_V, Sep 2025
Connor was a wonderful, enthusiastic tour guide. St Andrews is a charming, historical town...however, this was advertised as a group of no more than 6 and we had over twice that. No reflection on Connor at all, but mgmt should not be misrepresenting the experience.
Gregory_Y, Aug 2025
Knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed the casual walk through town. Interesting details about golf history.
Myriam_K, Aug 2025
I thought Jenny did a great job. Pace was good. Interesting facts about Univ of St Andrew’s. Would suggest adding more time about the history of the city and less on the University. The gate etc plus time to take pictures of St Andrew’s statue
John_B, Aug 2025
Great way to see the rest of St Andrews besides just the golf courses. Jenny are guide was super informative and helpful. A 4th year student at the University.
EricaBrookhart, Aug 2025
Ken was fantastic! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about both the history and the present-day life of St Andrews. He even went over the scheduled time, which really showed how passionate he is about what he does. A great guide and a great experience!
Natalie_L, Aug 2025
This was a GREAT tour. I learned SO much from our guide Jamie. I was so impressed by his knowledge and ability to express it in a way that was easy to understand and digest. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
MaryJo_C, Aug 2025
Great short tour of St. Andrews with emphasis on the university given that our guide was a student there. Easy walk and much to see. Our guide included some fun back stories and info not otherwise easily available.
Dawn_R, Aug 2025
Fiona was absolutely wonderful. The tour is a nice length of time and covers so much content. Perfect tour to start our St Andrews trip.
