5.00This tour was an Amazing experience in a comfy coach & a very knowledgeable guide, Ryan, with a high dose of Scottish humour! The 3 hrs given in St. Andrew’s were perfect to experience the seaside & explore the city.
Lovely tour

4.00Our driver Gerry was very good. Answered any and all questions, was available and easy to understand. Shared many things with us. The only thing we would say that was disappointing was the limited time at the fishing village. Not much was open as it was early in the morning, I guess. However, that was one of the reasons we chose this tour over others, so it would be nice to spend a bit more time there as we didn't really get to meet any locals (again, maybe because it was too early?
Terrific day trip from Edinburgh!

5.00This was an excellent day trip out of Edinburgh. We stopped to view the bridges over the Frith of Forth, went to a fishing village, and also spent time at Saint Andrews. Our Tour Guide, Peter, was friendly and knowledgeable. After several days of being on our feet all day, it was luxurious to sit in a comfortable bus.
Great guide, very uncomfortable van

4.00Excellent tourguide! Great stops and great information with a local flavor. Only complaint, and it is enough to prevent me from going again, is the new tour coaches are tiny and incredibly uncomfortable. Unless you are 5' 2" or smaller, you will not be comfortable.
Tour was ok, the guide...

3.00Tour was ok, the guide didn’t have much to say besides a bunch of one liners and when no one laughed would be like it’s ok we only have x amount of hours left which felt like he was counting down for himself cause he didn’t want to be there. Would have liked a more little history or something… should have just taken the train to St. Andrews
