William_C, Aug 2023

Seeing the old course at Saint Andrews was our primary reason for the tour. Also learning more about the history of the area was interesting. Stuart was a good guide. He let us set the agenda of things we wanted to see and kept us moving along to maximize what we were able to see in the time we had.

Private St. Andrew’s Tour

Roger_H, Aug 2023

My wife and I and my son (20 years old) went on this tour with our private driver, named Joe. Our driver showed up on time and was very courteous and informative. He was also able to adapt our tour to what we wanted to do. The St. Andrew’s tour was our favorite.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello Roger We’re so happy to hear this. Joe already said he had a brilliant day with you! Many thanks for your lovely review. Means a lot to us!! Many kind regards Beryl

Cynthia_L, Jul 2023

Our guide Stuart gave us a day to remember! He made sure that the golf lover in our group had time to enjoy being at St. Andrews - even arranged lunch for us there. He also made sure that the water lover had time to see one of the fishing villages. So glad we arranged this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hello Cynthia, We are so glad to hear you had a great time. Yes we really wanted to make sure everyone in the group would get to see what was important to them! :) Have a lovely onward trip. Stuart says hi! Beryl

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hey thank you - Sean had a great time with you too! Cheers Beryl

Fantastic experience and highly recommend Sean!

Candace_M, May 2023

Sean was the perfect guide for this excursion! Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and great at responding to questions. He met us at the port and took us to the places that were a must for us to see. Plus showed us a couple of charming fishing villages. We all highly recommend this excursion with Sean!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you soooo much for this lovely review. Sean had a great time. Safe onward travels! And maybe see you again! Beryl

Very enjoyable, informative, and worth the time and money!

Letha_J, May 2023

Friendly driver, very informative, and made the trip comfortable and fun. Loved the stop in Falkland and the history of it. St. Andrew's was the best. Picture on the bridge a highlight as well as eating at the club house. Walking around the university and through the church was fascinating. Loved his stories about the place. The stop at the distillery was fun and very enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to anyone into golf, history, scenery, and fun.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi Letha thank you so much for your kind words. Sean thoroughly enjoyed the day with you too! And yes Fife and St. Andrews is something right? Beryl

Great day

Gary_S, Dec 2022

We enjoyed the trip very much. Sean was very informative and shared a lot of interesting information. The drive was very scenic, and St. Andrews is beautiful.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thanks Gary Was a pleasure to spend the day with you and your family. Merry Christmas! Sean

Awesome tour driver, fantastic tour.

John_S, Sep 2022

The entire trip exceeded our expectations. From the time we met Sean in port we felt like we were traveling with an old friend. His knowledge about the history of the Kingdom of Fife and his personalized service while we visited Saint Andrews was perfectly explained where we could appreciate the information without being overwhelmed. Sean and Beryl were in constant contact with us and replied to our emails, text and calls within minutes. We have traveld to several countries and have used private tour guides however, Sean and Beryl were the best.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Awww. It’s so nice to read this!!! And yes to us this kind of customer service is the most important and most enjoyable part of running a small tour business. We truly enjoy meeting our guests and hearing their stories as much as we love to talk about Scotland! :)) So glad to hear you enjoyed your day with Sean! He very much enjoyed his tour with you too! All the best and safe onwards travels!!! Beryl

Pleasurable afternoon

Susan_D, Aug 2022

we enjoyed our visit to Faukland to see share parts of Outlander were filmed. We has a wonderful lunch in St. Andrews overlooking the golf course. Our guide Sean was very a fun and informative guide who patiently answered all our questions.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you for your kind words. We’re so glad you enjoyed your day. Sean loves talking about movies and Scotland’s awesome film locations. So yes he’ll never tire answering any questions. Cheers Beryl (&Sean).

Lovely Day Trip from Edinburgh

mmf2018, Sep 2019

We toured with Beryl, who is personable, experienced and knowledgeable. We chose to begin our day at Scone Palace, which is very worth the diversion, no matter what your interests may be. We found St. Andrews rich in history, but did not need to spend much time there. We saw the golf course by car, but you can get out and visit the new club house, if you want. The abbey, castle and university are interesting (particularly the university chapel), but the town is small and you don't need more than 2 hours to walk through it and see everything, even if you listen to the audio tour of the castle (recommended.) The last part of the journey,, driving through the fishing villages of Fife, was lovely!

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Thank you so much for your lovely words, Monica. It was a pleasure touring with you. You had such an interest in everything. It was delightful. I’m glad we managed to show you what you came here for! :))

Beyond Expectations

Joan_B, Jul 2019

Our guide Sean was fantastic and gave us a wonderful, full day trip from Edinburgh to St Andrews and the Kingdom of Fife. Lots of historical information along the way. Sean was quite knowledgeable, courteous and a great driver!
