5.00Best way to explore the Kingdom of Fife and St. Andrew’s! Nick was a terrific guide who navigated the tour with great attention to what we most wanted to see while sprinkling in plenty of other beautiful sites and stops. We enjoyed our chats during the driving and appreciated having a day without a crowded tour bus. Highlight was our walking tour of St. Andrews golf course and lunch in the clubhouse. Dream come true for my hubby.

5.00Our private tour of St. Andrews and The Kingdom of Fife was fantastic! The tour was well organized and we had ample time to enjoy each stop and never felt rushed. Our guide Adrian was charming, friendly, and could relate to everyone in our group. He was accommodating of our needs and suggested areas of interest which made it easier for us as we wandered around. He provided interesting historical and cultural information and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. We will cherish the memories of all the picturesque seaside towns, the gorgeous scenery along the way, historic St. Andrews and the charming villages of Falkland and Strathmiglo. Overall a wonderful and memorable day. We highly recommend this tour and Adrian.

5.00My wife and I had a fantastic time on this excursion from Edinburgh to St. Andrews and back. My primary focus for the trip was to see the birthplace of golf, but the scenery on the drive to St. Andrews was magnificent and luckily, the weather was beautiul. Our driver and guide, Pete, graciously took care of all our needs and adjusted the tour to meet our time constraints and give us ample time in St. Andrews. He also regaled us with tales of Scottish history and native music, making the journey a pleasant and educational experience. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00We had a great trip to St Andrews using Experienced Tours. Our guide Gary showed up dressed in his Scottish kilt and we were off from Edinburgh. After a couple of stops in some fishing villages along the way, we made it to St Andrews. Gary made sure we did it all including shopping at the golf shop, pictures all over the course, and a group photo on the iconic Swilcan Bridge on the 18 hole. We even had reservations to eat lunch at the course. I highly recommend this tour, and be sure to ask for Gary. You won’t be disappointed.
Exceptionally comprehensive day in the Kingdom of Fife

5.00We had a great time with our guide David. He made sure we got to do all that we wanted to do and took us anywhere we asked. St. Andrews was beautiful. Now I want to take one of David’s multi day tours. Highly recommend.
Wonderful educational and intimate experience!

5.00This was one of my favorite experiences of our trip to Scotland. There were 6 of us (brother and sisters and their spouses). I love small and intimate and it was so much nicer than a large bus tour (I've done those, too). We stopped at a few places along the way, including a small castle, and learned all about Scotland - especially its history. The driver, Ray, was entertaining and is a native of Edinburgh/Scotland so we learned a lot! Plus he had some fun other stories mixed in. I highly recommend Awesome Scotland Tours and this one, in particular. St. Andrews is wonderful and was the main stop, where we visited the iconic golf course (we're a golfing family) and walked through the town.
Fun Full Day

5.00Six of us were on this trip…three sisters…two spouses…one adult niece. For most of us, this was our first trek to Scotland. All stops were scenic and a comfortable amount of time was spent at each. Between stops, Ray provided Scottish history with a fun delivery. He gladly made a small detour so we could see the home our grandfather grew up in. It was a great day for all of us. Thx!
