Great day in St Andrews with Fraser

5.00We had a lovely time exploring the fishing villages of Fife and getting an insider’s tour of St Andrew’s old course, its cathedral and university. Lunch arranged for us at Old Tom Morris Grill in the clubhouse overlooking the 17th hole was the topping on the cake. Fraser took pains to learn of our particular interests and tailored the tour to need our needs. He’s very congenial, engaging and knowledgeable about Scotland. He even gave us very helpful tips to use as we continued our trip in the Highlands and Isle of Skye. We would definitely recommend him or tour with him again.

5.00The tour was very well organised and ahead of the event we were kept informed of the itinerary. Our driver (Fraser) was very polite and extremely knowledgeable on all questions we asked. Given the variable weather our plans were adapted swiftly and conveniently with great alternatives offered and enjoyed by all. Would certainly recommend!

5.00Amazing set up , from airport pick up (which was punctual) to the drop back on return, we have had the most amazing time. The tour itself holistic , took consideration of our requirements and tailored to a timetable. The guide and driver, Fraser was nothing short of exemplary. His knowledge of the surroundings and polite manner have left an impression and done his country proud.

5.00Fraser Mc Sorley was our terrific guide. Showed up in a kilt and ready to take us on our adventure. Many picturesque stops along the way like the viewpoint of the 3 brides, St Monin town church and graveyard and a quaint fishing village. The 2 hour drive was so interesting and filled with history and fun facts. St Andrews lunch at Tom Morris club was amazing. I suggest going on a Sunday when you can walk the old course.
Highly recommend Hopscotch and Ben!

5.00We were picked up exactly on time at our hotel and spent the day with Ben. He was a fabulous tour guide who modified the day to our exact needs. It was a far better experience than a tour bus with stopping in many small towns and areas inaccessible by the busses. We saw a fife extensively. Lunch at Tom Morris’ was wonderful as were the photos around the old course. All in all a great day all out together by an outstanding guide in Ben. Memories for a lifetime.

5.00Andrew was a great guide! He was friendly and informative. Gave us great information about our destinations and a ton of recommendations for Edinburgh. All of his suggestions were top notch. St. Andrews is beautiful and taking a walk on the Old Course was magical. Lindores Abbey distillery was a great experience also. A wonderful day trip from Edinburgh!
