The experience was amazing not only because James our guide was so full of stories of the spooky history of St Andrews and the besitiful history of the game golf but also because the whole team is so prompt in replying to your mails. The day I booked my slot the whole thing was cancelled and Peth one of the team member called me well in time. Thanks so much because if they would have called me late I would have reached St Andrews just to get disappointed. Yes if you are coming to St Andrews you should take this trip to get a feel and then also take online ticket to visit the St Andrews castle which is very interesting as the offline ticket is one pound more expensive

Fiona was exceptional. A solid 2.25 h of interesting stories and history well told. A great introduction to St Andrews.

I went to St Andrews without knowing much about the city and left with so many fascinating facts! About golf, medieval history, the university… and even the place where Prince William used to meet Kate for coffee! Our guide was very friendly and helpful. I absolutely recommend this tour. 😊

Ken gave us a great tour with excellent information that we didn’t know and this is our third trip to St Andrews! Great story telling from a Scotsman that knows the area and country well. We really enjoyed it! Thank you and great job!
Vera
Great tour! Very informative and interesting. The tour covered all the main attractions in St Andrew’s and was very well planned. Our tour guide John was very sweet and knowledgeable. We had a great time learning about history of golf, university and religion in the city. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting!
