5.00John 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.
Phenomenal tour with John!!

5.00Our tour of St Andrews was absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, the experience exceeded all expectations. We were lucky enough to have John- easily recognizable in his bright orange jacket as our guide, and what an incredible stroke of luck that was! John's infectious enthusiasm, depth of knowledge, and engaging storytelling made this tour truly unforgettable. We arrived knowing a bit about the town's legendary golf history, but we left with a newfound appreciation for its rich tapestry of history, religion, and education. John seamlessly blended fascinating facts with humor, keeping us thoroughly entertained while ensuring we walked away enlightened. If you're considering a tour of St Andrews, do yourself a favor and book this one! If you are lucky enough to get John as your guide, congratulations, you've hit the jackpot!!!
