John was an absolutely excellent tour guide! He took us around explained things so well with a sense of humor and we truly enjoyed every single bit of it. Definitely something we will refer to family and friends and so glad we did it.

Ken was a wealth of knowledge! It’s always helpful to have a guide to fully appreciate what you’re observing when visiting a place for the first time. Ken delivered! Moreover, we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of St Andrews.

Highly recommend the St Andrews tour with Ken as our guide. Easy walking and you cover all of the historical sites. Ken made everything so interesting and answered all questions! He was very informative and has an education background which made his tour that much more enjoyable. The four of us learned and saw quite a bit in the hour tour!
Perfect short tour of the town.

Our tour guide Ken was delightful, informative and fun to be with! Our tour started with us meeting at Martry’s Monumnet and finished near Market Street. Again, Ken has a love of the St. Andrew’s history and a love for the country.

John did a fantastic job on the private tour. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He combines the history of St. Andrews golf, academics and religion throughout. We would definitely again. It’s worth paying the extra for a smaller group.
