Great guy. Ken was very knowledgeable and truly loves what he does. It was enjoyable and he was willing to go into as much or as little depth into subjects as pleased. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
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
Connor our guide is knowledgeable, witty and because he is studying in St Andrews, was able to give his tour a different perspective than other walking tours I’ve been on. We were able to get closer and into a couple of buildings that perhaps had it not been for him we might not have been able to. The tour covers a little bit of everything from golf, the history of the town and of course the university. Would highly recommend
Fiona was a great guide - we enjoyed the commentary throughout the tour. Thanks for making it a great day!
Fiona covered all the history and major attractions of St Andrews and catered to the particular interests of the golfers in our group. She was a delight.
This guide as a former primary school teacher and a former school principal gave the clearest most concise description of the protestant reformation I have ever heard. After multiple tours, I’ve never gotten a better understanding than he gave. Understanding the reformation is key to understanding so much of why things are the way they are here in my opinion! Thank you!
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!
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!
