A fun, informative tour of St Andrew’s - Cici, our guide, on Sunday the 3rd November delivered a hugely informative tour of St Andrew’s. I arrived in the town with no prior knowledge of its history and culture and left wanting to learn more. Thank you Cici for being a friendly, enthusiastic and inclusive tour guide.

Well worth doing especially if your time is short - The tour was excellent, informative and good fun. Our guide Cece was very knowledgeable, friendly and very proud of her town. It was amazing to hear how the residents, students and golfers work together for the greater good, I wish similar civic pride existed in my home town.

A great day in St Andrews - We were the only people signed up for this day/time & James gave us a “personalized” tour that we thoroughly enjoyed! He was engaging & responded to our many questions. We highly recommend James as your tour guide!

Amazing Tour Not to be Missed - We had an incredible tour with John and were able to learn so many things about St. Andrews you would never get walking the streets on your own. You will learn so much about the golf course; small tidbits about Prince William and Kate; history of the town, etc. We would highly recommend this tour; it is the best way to see the highlights in a short period of time; you can then venture on your own or revisit some of the sites. The only issue we had is John's voice is very soft and sometimes hard to hear him in a large group or if the weather is windy. He is a lovely gentleman who ensured everyone had a great time and learned as much as possible.

A walk to remember - History of the golf ball, the pilgrimage, the university and lack of crime in St. Andrews. This tour covered everything but the Swilican Bridge whi8ch is easy to do on your own. Cici did cover the reasons it was famous. She covered everything I would want in a tour and took extra time with us.

What an Experience!!! - Absolutely loved the working tour. My wife and I were held spellbound by the beauty of St Andrews, and the rich historical background was brought to life by our fantastic guide, Kirsty. She, being a history student at St Andrews herself, was knowledgeable and evinced a deep passion for her town (which was a delight to experience). I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting St Andrews.

Worth it! - Our tour guide was great! She did a wonderful job giving a good history overview and mixing it in with the current day activities in the town. Her pace was good and she even went a little longer than scheduled, as we had a few slow walkers with us. I would definitely recommend this tour, rather than trying to do a self-guided one.
