Great tour and background of St. Andrews, excellent information and humor. - Richard did a terrific job with the St. Andrews Walking Tour. My wife and I joined the group on Tuesday, August 20. Richard's knowledge of the town's history, culture, architecture, etc. made for a wonderful day. St. Andrews is such a special place, where I spent 2 weeks back in 1975. My wife was seeing St. Andrews for the first time. Richard paced the walking tour to stop at key points, including the castle and university. He took the time to explain the significance of each location. Richard's humor and storytelling are amazing! My wife and I highly recommend Richard and his St. Andrews Walking Tour to anyone who wants a "flavor" of what truly makes the town special. Thank you. Gary and Dale United States

St Andrews Walking Tour - Had a fantastic tour with Richard. He shared many historical facts and local insights. We were able to see beautiful sights we would not have found on our own. Well worth the time! Thanks Richard!

Good Overview of St. Andrews and a Fun Walk! - Good tour with good historical information. Unfortunately my friend wasn't in very good shape and we had to end our participation after about 1.5 hours so she could rest. This was really NOT a strenuous trip, however. We covered a lot of ground, saw a lot and there were two additional participants who were pleasant. Good and fun guide by the name of Richard.
