5.00We were not 100% sure we would be excited about this journey but felt like we needed to see it since we were in Scotland. Much to our surprise, we loved it. The course is simply beautiful! Our driver, Edmonton, was excellent as well. He prompted us to get a reservation at the Tom Morris restaurant and was very pleasant to spend time with.
Fun and enjoyable day...

A Very Good Day in St. Andrew's

5.00The driver/guide was very flexible in making sure the tour fit our expectations. He asked about what we had been doing on our other tours and we told him about going to see the cathedrals, so he took us to two that he thought we would like to see in the St. Andrew's area. He also made sure we were able to have lunch at the clubhouse at the St. Andrew's golf course. When I complained that the shop at the clubhouse only had one size of shirts on hand, he took us to another shop with a lot more merchandise to choose from. He dropped us at a restaurant on a crowded street when we got back to Edinburg so we wouldn't have to walk there from our hotel since he knew we were at the end of our trip and very tired. He made it a day for us to enjoy ourselves and relax which we appreciated.
Excellent tour!

5.00Communication was excellent. Ed answered all my questions before and during the tour and had no issues with changing our pick-up point. Ed was pleasant, knowledgeable, friendly, polite and patient with our group. We also felt safe while we were on the road with him. Time spent on places visited were sufficient. Would definitely recommend.
