Great tour with Ken. Extremely informative. Have been to St Andrews a number of times and done walking tours, but still learned some interesting facts. Thanks so much Ken!
Perfect use of an hour in St. Andrew’s

My family came to visit me at university and we had a few hours to spare, so we decided to book the tour 10 minutes before it started. What a good decision! Our tour guide, Judith, was friendly and informative, with a high degree of knowledge about St. Andrew’s. Very responsive to questions. Would highly recommend if you want to learn more about the history of St. Andrew’s and why there are ruins everywhere.
Great experience!

Fiona was very knowledgeable and knew the ins and outs of the most beautiful town in the UK! It's a great baseline tour to learn about St. Andrews and the history of the martyrs and golfers!

Great 1.5 hours spent with Ken exploring the sights of St Andrews. Ken is very personable and knowledgeable. We would have enjoyed more time on and around the old course but everyone has their own preferences and Ken tries to appeal to all tastes and preferences. Thanks again Ken for a tour I will always appreciate and fondly remember.
Great tour with Ken.

Fiona, our tour guide was amazing, full of knowledge & enthusiasm & kept the group engaged and interested for the duration of the tour. In fact, I think we were so chatty & engaged, our tour was slightly over time (not complaining as we had so much fun). Whilst I have visited St Andrews on many occasions over the years, I learned so much on this walking tour. I would highly recommend!

Not on th etour but visited hte town with relatives. Great vibrant town but quite different than other university cities.Lots of individual shops and walking areas. Well spread out with the town, the ruins and the shoreline.
