Even if you're not a golfer you will enjoy this trip. Our guide was hilarious and kept us all laughing the whole time and learned a lot of history of the area. The cemetery and old church was very scenic and the town has a lot of shops and pubs. We visited on Sunday when normally the golf course is closed but there was a ProAm tournament with Bill Murray and other celebrities participating.
A must do in Scotland

From start to finish, this tour exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Neil, was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate about the history of St Andrews and the surrounding Fife region. Very well organized and with enough time to enjoy each stop. We were lucky with blue skies and warm weather.
Excellent trip
