4.00The tour guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable. There were many facts about saint andrew's history that I had no clue about. The only thing I did not like was the tour ended in town.Not back where we started.So it was a little confusing on navigating the area, not that that is the fault of the tour guide. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.Just knowYou will be left in town at the end by St. Mary's college.
Very knowledgable Tour Guide.

5.00Interesting tour of St Andrews. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. We took a day trip from Edinburgh and combined this with an afternoon tour of the golf course. It was a nice way to spend the day and learn about a town outside of Edinburgh.
Enjoyed being with our guide Fiona . She was so warm and friendly and full of knowledge.

5.00Our St Andrews walking tour was an absolute delight, weaving through the historic streets of this charming Scottish town with stories that spanned centuries. From the ancient ruins of the cathedral to the bustling university grounds and the iconic Old Course, every step felt like a journey through time. Our guide, Ken, was the star of the show—his passionate storytelling and encyclopedic knowledge brought the city to life, effortlessly bridging medieval tales of saints and scholars with modern-day anecdotes. Highly recommended for history buffs and casual explorers alike; it’s a perfect way to uncover St Andrews’ hidden gems!

5.00This was a good way to learn about St. Andrew’s and see some of the highlights and some things we would have never experienced. Connor (a university student) was a great guide filled with information & positivity who really made the tour enjoyable! It was an easy casual walk covering a fairly good area. This was a last minute booking and so glad we made it!
